Abstract
A self-contained, small, lightweight, portable, renewable, modular integrated power source. The power source consists of a recharging means such as solar cells that are laminated onto a rechargeable energy source such as a solid state polymer battery which in turn is laminated onto a substrate containing circuits which manage the polymer battery charging. Charging of the battery can occur via solar energy or, alternatively, via RF coupling using external RF charging equipment or a hand held generator. For added support, the integrated power source is then bonded to an applications housing or structure. This integrated power source can independently power the electronic application. It can also serve as casing or housing by taking the shape of the application enclosure.
