That has to be a really useful thing!
Returned to the ice in Sept 2017 after a major leg injury in 1999. Skating in Jackson Elite Pro & MK Vision Syncro. Still scary after all these years.

Be interesting to see how it handles in the real-world long term; for example the efficiency of solar panels is decreased by dust, and dirty rain; the same issues could effect this.
