Wearable Flexible Solar Panel Vest for Boda Boda operators

AfriGadget reports on a solar vest that recharges mobile phones worn by Boda Boda operators, bicycle riders that carry passengers from main roads to villages off the beaten track in Western Kenya.

Wearing Flexible Panels while cycling generates power from sun-up to sun-down, an average of 12 hours a day.

.. The Panel can be attached in a variety of ways. Velcro, Pop Buttons or simply attach Rucksack like straps so it can be worn with any garment. In the latter case the small pouch containing the controller and battery is attached to the back of the panels with Velcro.
