Researchers at MIT have now demonstrated just such a technology: the thinnest, lightest solar cells ever produced. Though it may take years to develop into a commercial product, the laboratory proof-of-concept shows a new approach to making solar cells that could help power the next generation of portable electronic devices.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken a revolutionary step forward in renewable energy technology. They''ve developed a super lightweight, fabric-based solar cell. This innovation is so thin, it can turn just about any surface into a power generator, paving the way for a host of new applications.
These wires carry current from the fingers to interconnecting ribbons outside the cell''s front surface. As depicted in Image 2, their rounded cross-section enhances optical performance, allowing more light to reflect onto the solar cell. Super

The solar cell, in conjunction with the supercapacitors, diode, and (2N3906) PNP transistor, acts as both a sensor and charging apparatus. The project code is found here . More information on programming the ATtiny is available via this tutorial, though it uses the Arduino 1.x IDE.
This forms an ultra-light and mechanically robust solar structure. "While it might appear simpler to just print the solar cells directly on the fabric, this would limit the selection of possible fabrics or other receiving surfaces to the ones that are chemically and thermally compatible with all the processing steps needed to make the devices. Our approach
