Powerfoyle powers devices in low-light

摘要

A decade's worth of R&D is about to pay off for Exeger, a Swedish start-up whose solar power product -Powerfoyle - can recharge electronic devices in low-light environments. The material is screen-printed onto flexible plastic, then laminated, and follows the principle of photosynthesis to generate and store electricity. According to company founder, Giovanni Fili the material can be used on 'walls, cars, roofs' making solar power accessible in numerous settings. The company was reluctant to reveal light to power conversion per xcm2 but it did say that Powerfoyle is able to generate up to 100 per cent more power than flexible amorphous silicon depending on light conditions.
