Abstract

Nowadays, Product Integrated Photovoltaic (PIPV) plays a major role in renewable energy sources, particularly for the infantry soldiers and defense industry. During war field, soldiers having various harms such as very cold temperature and some region like hot weather. Hence, in this risky process they cannot always be having the tools with battery for communication equipment and still in case they are prepared with batteries, it will be a big burden for them. Thus, to overcome this difficulty, a light weight wearable solar device being designed especially for the warrior. The proposed research contains a design, which is a portable-charging unit that utilizes flexible solar cells. The flexible solar cells are tested in different environment to find out the best arrangement and design for soldier‟s bag.
