Stretchable solar panel is the key concept of Kuaray solar panel, designed by Ruben Freire.
Having organic particles of plastic, lithium ions, discarded aluminum soda cans and corn the stretchable solar panel is fully recyclable. Its plastic case is the intriguing part because is made by a biodegradable resin called Mirel, produced by Metabolix.
Kuaray include a bio based light activated plastic developed to a lithium-ion battery in a configuration that allows the solar panel to charge electronic devices and to serve as a container for the same. Its stretchable solar panel is printed in a continuous roll to roll process that reduces costs and lowers the environmental impact more than traditional silicon based solar.
