(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.
