Don’t be alarmed if next time you’re at the beach you see the girl on the towel next to you plug her iPod into her bathing suit.

While it might look like some kind of new cyber geek fetish wear, this panel-clad bikini is actually a way for beachgoers to charge up their electronics using the sun’s rays. The brainchild of Brooklyn-based designer Andrew Schneider, the Solar Bikini can juice up iPhones and other small electronics, but remains completely safe to wear in the water. Even though the PV cells terminate in a 5 volt regulator, all of the power is transferred directly into your electronics, so you don’t have to worry about being electrocuted when you decide to take a dip.

And this isn’t just some pie-in-the-sky concept either, Schneider is already accepting custom orders.
