A new solar cell that converts sunlight to energy has been launched in variety of consumer products. The technology used in this is a photosensitive dye to start its energy production which is same as the leaves using chlorophyll to begin photosynthesis. This dye sensitive cell can be used to give power to various devices like e-book readers, cell phone etc. The cell can be found in thin, flexible panels stitched to the reader’s cover in the e-book readers. These panels can be placed in new lines of backpacks and sports bags which will help recharge cell phones and music players.

The photovoltaic cells are based on silicon or any such inorganic materials not the dyes as discussed. The panels will be placed on the covers which are designed for the accessory for Sony e-book readers. These covers are going to cost around $99 which would be made available to the customers in the month of March. The cover will supply power through a plug in a cradle along its spine. You can find the panels installed in the tennis bags, backpacks and messenger bags which have battery chargers within. The prices of these bags will depend on the material used and the size of the bag. Enjoy the heat with solar energy.
