Applying energy harvesters to textiles

Energy harvesters enabling micro-power generation provide new levels of efficiency and automation in the built environment, process control, vehicles and healthcare.

Roofs could technically generate up to 40% of EU's electricity demand

With a total ground floor area over 22,000 km2, 40% of all building roofs and 15% of all facades in EU 27 are suited for PV applications. This means that over 1,500 GWp of PV could technically be installed in Europe which would generate annually about 1,400TWh, representing 40% of the total electricity demand by 2020.

Unique conference Energy Harvesting focuses on printing

The subject of energy harvesting making small electronic and electric devices self-sufficient, usually for decades - is changing rapidly.
