IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO TEXTILES INCORPORATING PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS
A photovoltaic cell deposited onto a textile and a method for making the same. The textile is treated such that the area where the photovoltaic cell is deposited conducts electricity and the fibres forming the textile in said area are stuck together to enhance electrical conduction in the device. The area of the textile may be treated with a conductive material such as a conductive polymer and the fibres can be stuck together at their cross-over points.
