Solar-Powered Smart Wearables Set for Trial at Osaka Expo

W. Syaban

March 28, 2025

A Toyota affiliate called Toyoda Gosei Co. plans to test energy-producing smart attire equipped with flexible solar panels during the forthcoming World Expo in Osaka, aiming to move this technology nearer to mass production.

The pilot project demonstration at the expo starting on April 13 intends to evaluate the resilience and various features of these protective garments. Each vest includes four perovskite solar cells produced by EneCoat Technologies Co., a spin-off from Kyoto University, affixed to their rear section.

Toyota Gosei, which primarily focuses on producing automotive components, intends to introduce the item in restricted amounts this year depending on customer feedback.

The trial vests will be worn by exhibition personnel serving in a corporate booth, where the produced electrical energy should suffice for minor gadgets like portable collar fans.

Since investing in EneCoat Technologies in 2023, Toyoda Gosei has been collaborating on the development of this smart wearable technology. Textile maker Seiren Co.'s innovation allowed for the seamless integration of solar cells onto garments wirelessly, whereas Toyoda Gosei focused on designing the energy storage component.

Possible upcoming applications for this technology encompass providing energy for integrated heating and cooling mechanisms as well as incorporating sensors to track the user's wellbeing.

Perovskite solar cells, being more affordable to produce compared to traditional solar panels, offer flexibility as well. This makes them adaptable for installation on various surfaces such as the exteriors of tall buildings and glass windows.
