Instead of those heavy, rigid panels we\u2019re used to seeing on rooftops, Heliotex weaves organic solar cells directly into fabric, making the material flexible in form and variable in color, pattern and density. It\u2019s basically the difference between slapping a bulky case on your phone and having protection built seamlessly into the device itself.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-586856\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-586856\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The designer has been working on this solar textile <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> for years, first developing it for wearable fashion like her Solar Shirt that could charge your phone. Now she\u2019s taken that same innovation and scaled it up to architectural proportions. Her studio has collaborated with Tentech over the past four years on developing this solar textile, which is now being applied for the first time on an architectural scale. Here\u2019s where it gets really interesting from a practical standpoint. Van Dongen suggests that buildings that aren\u2019t climate-neutral could get a second skin facade, and if made from textile, it could be a translucent mesh so you could still look out windows without any problems. It\u2019s like giving older buildings a sustainable makeover without the demolition and reconstruction nightmare.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-586857\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-586857\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-04.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"7e06f174b99c95e1c54d1d60-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"7e06f174b99c95e1c54d1d60-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The performance specs are worth noting too. The woven panels currently produce 53 watts of energy per square meter, which is about a fifth of what traditional silicon solar panels can produce. Before you dismiss that as underwhelming, van Dongen has a smart response. She explains they\u2019re applying this textile in places where traditional solar panels wouldn\u2019t be used anyway, so they\u2019re not competing with them. And the efficiency is already improving. Researchers from a Danish university have already doubled that output per square meter in their tests. That\u2019s the thing about emerging technology, it only gets better from here.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-586858\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-586858\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-07.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The material itself has been engineered to actually work in the real world. Heliotex was designed to resist weathering and UV radiation and is fire-retardant, and van Dongen specifically avoided using toxic PVC in the coating process. So it\u2019s sustainable on multiple levels, from the recycled materials to the non-toxic finishes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-586859\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-586859\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-08.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Umbra Pavilion, unveiled at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, isn\u2019t just a proof of concept sitting in a lab. By day, it offers cooling shade and a place to pause and reflect while its woven solar cells harvest the sun\u2019s energy, then as evening falls, the stored energy returns, enveloping the pavilion in atmospheric light. It\u2019s functional art that actually works. Van Dongen envisions this technology going far beyond pavilions. The technical textile is suited for shading cloths and shade structures for public spaces, building facades, and canopies or tents for festivals. Think about it: every festival tent, every outdoor market canopy, every building facade could be generating clean energy while doing its regular job of providing shade or weather protection.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-586860\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-586860\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/10\/24\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Solar Textile Turns Buildings Into Giant Energy Harvesters\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/10\/this-solar-textile-turns-buildings-into-giant-energy-harvesters\/umbra-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s particularly exciting about this project is how it makes renewable energy visible and accessible. Instead of hiding solar technology on rooftops where we forget about it, the pavilion offers a glimpse of a future where solar energy is woven into daily life, tangible, shared, and accessible to all.
