Adhesive Solar Tile Sacks

The Stick It Bag Seeks the Sun's Rays in Separate Pieces

— September 5, 2011 — Eco
The Stick It Bag by Jamie Yeo is far from the first satchel to incorporate solar panels onto its outer face, but this particular invention proposes a remarkably unique way to catch the sun's rays. Instead of relying on the carrier to expose it to ample light outside during the day, this concept incorporates removable solar cell tiles that can be stuck directly to the window pane.

This cutting-edge idea means that you no longer have to abandon your briefcase to bake on the front porch or spend unnecessary hours sitting in the direct sun. The adhesive squares turn bright yellow once they've absorbed their capacity of energy, and when applied back to the Stick It Bag, they can help to charge your cellphone, laptop and a range of other gadgets.
Trend Themes
1. Removable Solar Cell Tiles - The concept of removable solar cell tiles offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to enhance portability and convenience of solar-powered devices.
2. Adhesive Solar Technology - The use of adhesive squares that stick directly to window panes presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for integrating solar power into everyday objects.
3. Portable Solar Charging - The development of portable solar charging solutions, like the Stick It Bag, provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for convenient energy generation on the go.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - The technology industry can explore the use of removable solar cell tiles and adhesive solar technology to develop innovative solar-powered products and solutions.
2. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry can embrace portable solar charging solutions to expand access to clean energy and promote sustainable practices.
3. Fashion and Accessories - The fashion and accessories industry can adopt adhesive solar technology to incorporate solar power capabilities into clothing, bags, and other wearable items.
