Solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays are providing an increasing fraction of global electrical demand, with an accelerating rate of new installations. Most of these employ conventional glass-fronted panels, but this type of PV array does not satisfy applications that require a light-weight, flexible PV generator. An option discussed in this article is to consider textiles for such solar cell substrates. As explained in this review, combining the choice of PV cell type with the choice of textile offers alternative structures for flexible PV cells. In particular, the relative advantages and disadvantages are contrasted, either forming PV-coated fibres into a fabric, or coating an already formed fabric with the PV materials. It is shown that combining thin-film amorphous silicon PV technology and woven polyester fabric offers one solution to realizing flexible fabric PV cells, using well-understood coating methods from the textile and semiconductor industries. Finally a few applications are presented that are addressed by this approach.

“…This generally requires components with high conductivity for sensing, signal transmission, monitoring and actuation (Wang et al, 2010;Meinander, 2005). Most textilebased materials are organic polymers; these are insulators that have little conductivity, so imparting conductivity to these materials is needed for development of a smart textile system.…”

“…Poor spinnability, processibility and deterioration of mechanical properties become problems in these techniques, in addition to the high cost associated with the need for a large amount of conductive fi ller, which is often expensive. Thus, conductive coating is most desirable and provides a cost-effective way to impart conductivity because a small amount of a conductive layer created by the coating is often suffi cient to provide enough conductivity for the required applications (Wang et al, 2010).…”

“…Conductive polymers are polymeric materials that conduct electricity, and their electrical properties are sensitive to external effects such as radiation, temperature and chemicals (Wang et al, 2010). The most well-known conductive polymers are polypyrrole (PPy) (Meinander, 2005), polyaniline (PANI) (Koncar et al, 2007), polythiophene, and their derivatives (Wang et al, 2010).…”

A coating paste consisting of microdispersed carbon or conductive particles in a polymer also can be used for conductive coatings.…”

Some key requirements for a sensor to qualify as a wearable sensor include biocompatibility, aesthetics, comfort, reliable sensing, and signal reliability. The last three are essential factors for acquiring continuous and stable data from a human body. [5] Textile-based sensors are often developed through techniques [6,7] with certain limitations in creating free-form sensor designs because of their complex manufacturing processes. Machine stitching has recently been studied as a potentially scalable method to fabricate textile-based sensors. [8] Different stitch classes have been investigated to study the impact of loop-based stitch structures on the performance of sensors. [9] Also, the effect of stitching parameters on the sensing performance of piezoresistive sensors has been studied. [10] Developing a high-performance textile-based pressure sensor requires an electrically conductive textile medium (fibers, yarn, or fabric) with durability against external forces. [11] Conventional textiles are nonconductive materials and require some practical
