A necklace conceived and tested in collaboration with Ash Tiwari as an application for mini solar panels.

The design consists of 60 mini solar panel sewn into neoprene and making contact with conductive nylon ribbon as a way to pass power through the garment to a charge controller. Along the way, we tested many different methods for getting the mini panels into fabric, including with conductive snaps, soldered wire, and copper tape. More documentation at idmwearables.club
