The Solar Collector

Self-charging glasses with integrated transparent solar cells to power devices.

• Photovoltaic Lens Tech: The lenses utilize See-Thru Organic Photovoltaics (OPV). This allows the lenses to remain 70% transparent to the wearer while capturing a broad spectrum of UV and infrared light to generate electricity.

• Frame Material: The chassis is carved from Aero-Grade Beryllium, a material lighter than aluminum but stiffer than steel, finished with a vacuum-deposited "Solar Black" diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating.

• Energy Transfer: A discreet Mag-Safe induction point is built into the tip of the right temple. When you rest your head back or place the glasses near your phone/earbuds, they wirelessly transfer stored energy.

• Integrated Storage: The frames contain a Solid-State Micro-Battery hidden within the reinforced hinges, providing a high-density energy reserve without the bulk or heat of traditional lithium-ion batteries.
