Australian soldiers to be powered by the sun

Australian soldiers to be powered by the sun

Everybody's going green these days, and it's been reported that even the soldiers in Australia will soon be joining the movement. The Australian National University (ANU) have managed to create wearable lightweight solar panels that convert light directly into electricity using SILVER solar cell technology. Designed for the Department of Defense, these silver cells have a bendable radius of around a few centimeters, which allow it to be used as part of the soldier's gear. The wearable solar panels can be placed on soldier's helmets, on their fronts, their back packs, on their weapons, and even their tents.
