Eco Factor: Glares with built-in solar panels generates electricity for your gadgets.

Generating clean energy has never been as easy as it is with these Self-Energy Generating Glasses, or simply SIG glasses. Apart from protecting your eyes from the harmful radiations of the sun, the glasses are incorporated with dye sensitized solar cells that collect the sun’s energy and convert it into useful electricity. The stored electricity can be transferred to your much loved gadgets via a power jack at the back of the frame. Designed by Hyun-Joong Kim and Kwang-Seok Jeong, the glasses use a cheap and organic dye that promises clean energy at a small price.

The Dark Side:

We all know that the efficiency of solar cells directly depends on the angle at which sun’s rays are falling on these cells. Though SIG is an innovative way to generate solar energy, we are still skeptical about the efficiency such a product could offer considering the fact that not many individuals would want to walk with their eyes always fixed at the sun.
