Konarka does not currently create consumer applications; rather we make a light-sensitive material (Power Plastic) that other manufacturers can integrate into their products to turn them into energy-capturing devices.

Some of the applications currently under development by our manufacturing partners include:

Portable battery chargers – for charging laptops, cell phones and lanterns
Microelectronics such as sensors, smart cards, remote starters
Personal care devices such as electric trimmers and toothbrushes
Outdoor gear such as tents and backpacks – which can power portable electronics and lighting
Emergency power generators – which will enable police, military and emergency personnel to maintain vital communications
Shade structures– which will power personal electronic devices anywhere the sun is shining
Carport covers – which will trickle charge an electric car
Window shades and integrated window panels – which will capture and convert solar energy for both office and residential use
