Last week, researchers at solar firm Konarka Technologies said they'd made a breakthrough in the move to incorporate solar power into clothing. Their finding was a new, more efficient type of photovoltaic wire that could one day be added to clothing, shop awnings and sails to generate renewable electricity. Here we take a look at the history of solar fashion so far, from bags to jackets
上周，太阳能公司科纳卡技术公司(Konarka Technologies)的研究人员表示，他们在将太阳能发电整合于服装方面取得了突破性的进展。他们发现一种新的更为有效的光电换能线，将来会被配置于服装、商铺遮蓬以及船帆上，产生可再生电力。在这里，我们来看看迄今为止太阳能时装的历史，从手袋到夹克。
