Design and Applications of Solar Powered Textiles

Abstract:

Energy, environmental protection and climate change are the major topics of industry development and production research in recent years. The trends of energy saving and carbon reduction have grown up, and the green products are gradually to be emphasized. Among the various green products, the solar cell is a kind of successful product after many years of promotion and development. Also, the utilization and improvement of solar cell technologies and products have been advanced and diversified, and the territories of application are gradually expanded. According to this trend of green products and environmental issues, this paper discusses about the application of solar cell on textile design. The categories and characteristics of solar cells have been examined, and the requirements and system of textile utilization are also described. Finally, the technologies and methods of textile design with solar cells are explained to promote the solar textile application.
