Summary
"Anything that is made of fabric and can sit in the sun is an opportunity to generate electricity," says Colin Touhey, CEO, and co-founder of Pvilion, a company that specializes in designing and manufacturing flexible solar-paneled fabric with versatile functionality.
Pvilion's innovative solar-powered fabric can be integrated into a range of products, from consumer items like backpacks, bags, and coats, to architectural structures, such as building facades, sports stadiums, canopies and awnings, wedding tents, airplane hangers…the list continues to grow! This technology is particularly useful in providing energy in remote locations for rapid response teams and military camps.
