Portuguese researchers at the Center for Nanotechnology and Smart Materials are working to make this high-tech future powered with alternative energy a reality. The technology they have created is called Dephotex, a photovoltaic textile with the characteristics we expect from this type of material: flexible, light, durable and resistant.
The beauty of it is that the flexible photovoltaic panels can be embedded in everything, “from fabrics to plastics†They have also been testing panels in cars, so that the car’s battery can be charged with solar power when the vehicle is left an entire day under the sun.
How else could Dephotex be applied?
