Carpeted in snow, dark at 17.00, the Swedish capital may not be the first place you associate with solar energy. Yet these solar cells are quite different from traditional solar technology, and this is no ordinary bike helmet. Sports and safety brand POC’s new Omne Eternal helmet has an integrated light whose power comes entirely from ambient light, powered by deep tech company Exeger’s patented technology, Powerfoyle. In the factory, Powerfoyle is screen-printed to create the aesthetic properties of materials such as leather, plastic or metal. Flexible power - Powerfoyle POCCells can be any shape or size and can be integrated seamlessly into any electronic device or appliqued with a logo or pattern.
