Portable Light
More portable, wearable solar panels and lighting systems being designed for a native culture that does not live in permantent structures. Just think how this will benefit camping trips. 
The simple solar technology customized for the Wixaritari (the plural form of Wixarika) is designed to eliminate some of the duress associated with a lifestyle increasingly threatened by an industrialized economy for which they have little preparation. It borrows high-brightness LEDs from applications such as pedestrian walk signs, amasses them together with flexible photovoltaic power panels, and embeds them in textiles produced and worn by the users during their everyday pursuits. The sunlight absorbed by the exposed panels on these shoulder bags and shawls may be stored in a single large capacity battery (such as that used for a car) or directed to the equivalent of several rechargeable cell phone batteries that power smaller, detachable light “candles.” The lightweight units are unbreakable and use just two watts of power; they may also be grouped to provide energy for charging laptops and powering equipment in medical clinics, in which case eight watts of power yields an illumination output equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent bulb.
