At a time of major ecological reflections, Sony Interactive Entertainment could be a very good candidate, since the Japanese manufacturer would be working on a solar energy dualsense controller. This is at least what a new PlayStation patent reveals to us, which would allow the controller to recharge by exposing it to light. Spotted by Tech4gamers, this Sony Interactive Entertainment Brevte is titled “Device Operation” and reveals that this PlayStation controller has “Several photovoltaic elements” on its case and a storage area that “Accumulates the energy generated by these photovoltaic elements”, This allows you to recharge the controller with solar energy. On the sketch, it is clear that these photovoltaic elements are identifiable on the upper half of the case, around analog joysticks and different pimples.
Of course, like many patents, this solar energy PS5 controller can never see the light of day, but Sony Interactive Entertainment also mentioned the desire to get rid of the rechargeable battery to be more Eco-Friendly. It remains to be seen whether the Japanese manufacturer will go to the end of his ideas, or if it is once again than a vain attempt. We remember that last year, we had seen a joystick concept using conductive ink.
