Dreplets are placed in public space. Employing organic
photovoltaics they produce electricity from sunlight and store
it in batteries. Each dreplet comes with two battery packs.
Whilst one battery is charged within the solar device the other
one is used to charge gadgets on the go. Users publish the
position of a dreplet online so that other users may find one and
exchange their empty batteries. Thus, an autonomous network
of collaborative and renewable energy is established. The ultimate
aim of dreplets is to affect people’s consciences by giving
them the possibility to take energy matters in their own hands
and connect with like-minded people.
