Washability performance evaluation for photovoltaic textiles. (a) Photographs of a fabricated textile-based OSC device, (b) electrical performance curves after passing through different washing cycles and (c) the demonstration of the relative changes in performance with respect to washing cycles such as Voc, PCE.

(d) In these set of images, five solar-E-yarns woven into a textile are shown in their dry state, soaked with tap water, and immersed in tap water. (e) The normalized ISC with different hand and machine-washing cycles, and (f) the number of fully functional solar-E-yarns after 25 washing cycles.
