Solar Power Bra" in Tokyo on Wednesday. The bra features a solar panel worn across the stomach.
The bra though isn't going to be generating energy anytime soon.
The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it."
The bra may get a little stinky as you are not allowed to wash it least you damage the solar power panel.
