The solar system for the jacket uses a system technology called iSolarX. Modules may vary in flexibility and size for varying charging powers.

I might have to get one of these for my iPod. That’s really nice. I might have to get one of these for my iPod.

There is every reason to think that the power industry in many states is going to be seriously altered by the growing concerns about global warming. Many states are adding renewable portfolios and other green measures, and others are dropping plans for coal plants; the investment priorities and dynamics are rapidly changing. Lower power demands at whatever time of day or night lowers emissions. Lighting represents 8% of household demand against 7% for all electronics. Lighting is also one of the simplest efficiency measures to put in place since bulbs must be replaced all the time unlike most other appliances, many of which can last for a decade or more.

In about four to eight power it is fully charged, and when it’s full it can charge an iPod up in another four hours. There are 5 volt and 6 volt connections available, for USB and cell phone devices respectively. These two blog posts have more details on the jacket, and the picture that’s below.
