Via Coroflot<\/figcaption><\/figure>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s far from being a reality, but an Italian product designer has a vision for solar-powered laptops.<\/p>\n

The Luce Solar Panel Powered PC is by Andrea Ponti<\/a> would be powered by two solar cells, one behind the monitor and the other under a keyboard, writes Get Solar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ponti is an industrial designer whose research is focused on international projects between Italy and Japan; his design portfolio is nothing short of impressive (check out his amazing Sustainable Water Container<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Energy conversion and battery life are the key elements that need to be improved to make this product a commercial reality. But as the Get Solar article points out, there is a technology called electronic ink display that is very energy efficient and which could provide the answer for it.<\/p>\n

For now, the closer you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get to a solar power<\/a> experience at the laptop is sitting at a cafe on a sunny day with a cup of coffee. Luce, however, is definitely a snapshot of things to come. <\/p>\n
