Konarka does not currently create consumer applications; rather we make a light-sensitive material (Power Plastic) that other manufacturers can integrate into their products to turn them into energy-capturing devices.

Some of the applications currently under development by our manufacturing partners include:

• Portable battery chargers – for charging laptops, cell phones and lanterns
• Microelectronics such as sensors, smart cards, remote starters
• Personal care devices such as electric trimmers and toothbrushes
• Outdoor gear such as tents and backpacks – which can power portable electronics and lighting
• Emergency power generators – which will enable police, military and emergency personnel to maintain vital communications
• Shade structures– which will power personal electronic devices anywhere the sun is shining
• Carport covers – which will trickle charge an electric car
• Window shades and integrated window panels – which will capture and convert solar energy for both office and residential use

Power Plastic applications fall into four main categories: microelectronics, portable power, remote power and building integrated applications (BIPV).  Click on the category that interests you to download a general information sheet.
