With the REFLECT Eternal, JBL has elected to use Exeger’s flexible Powerfoyle solar cells, which can draw power from direct and indirect indoor light, as well as that from the sun. This, in theory, means that it’ll continue to charge, even when dropped on a kitchen table with the curtains closed. They claim that the PV cells can provide 68 hours of playtime from just 1.5 hours of sunlight.
They have opted to crowdfund on Indiegogo (to Germany and US only) instead of releasing straight to market yet though.
