>MONTREAL, Canada and KETCHUM, Idaho - ICP Solar Technologies Inc. (ICP),
the world's largest developer of solar products for consumers, and SCOTTeVEST
>LLC (SeV), the leading Technology Enabled ClothingŪ (TEC) company, will
>unveil the first solar power jacket prototypes designed to allow wearers to
>carry, connect and charge their portable digital devices, at the 2004
>International CES, January 8-11, Las Vegas.
>
>The ICP Global Solar division is integrating ICP's flexible thin-film
>photovoltaic technologies (CIGS) in three models of SCOTTeVESTŪ jackets.
>These jackets will allow wearers to carry, connect and charge their
portable
>digital devices in one convenient and fully integrated package.
>Strategically mounted CIGS panels are pre-wired, providing solar power to
>individual devices for power storage (charging) or immediate consumption.
>
>"These prototypes clearly show the full commercial potential of ICP's
>exclusive flexible solar technology in the world of intelligent clothing,"
>said Sass M. Peress, President and CEO of ICP Solar Technologies Inc. ICP
>Global Solar CIGS technology is a high efficiency, ultra lightweight
>personal solar power solution that has proved itself in numerous
>applications, ranging from marine to desert environments. It is a highly
>durable and self-repairing solar technology, ideally suited for mobile
>applications. Combined with integrated charge control and optional
>battery/charger systems, it provides the conveniences of back-up and always
>on, on-demand small scale solar electrical power.
>
>Through its wholly-owned division, Technology Enabled ClothingŪ (TEC),
>SCOTTeVEST LLC will assist ICP in showcasing the potential of integrating
>solar technology into clothing. TEC owns the intellectual property rights
>associated with the incorporation of third-party wires into clothing
through
>a series of internal, hidden conduits referred to as a Personal Area
Network
>(P.A.N.). In addition to incorporating the solar panels in SCOTTeVEST
>products, TEC expects to assist ICP in bringing solar technology into other
>mainstream outerwear clothing products using its patent-pending P.A.N.
>design.
>
>"We are constantly seeking solutions to build state-of-the-art wearable
>technology. We believe that this project represents the next logical step
in
>consumer wearable computers. No longer will you have to rely on traditional
>power sources to recharge your mobile electronic devices. We expect solar
>panels together with the P.A.N. to be incorporated into approximately 30%
of
>all outerwear in the next three to five years.", said Scott Jordan,
Chairman
>and CEO of SCOTTeVEST LLC.
>
>The prototypes will be presented at the ICP booth at the 2004 International
>CES, located at booth # 21704 SO 3&4. Fashion show times are: January 8,
