Abstract

The present invention relates to modular electrical headwear systems for use in charging electrical devices and operating electrical devices on an article of headwear. One embodiment includes utilizing a photovoltaic cell on the visor of a hat to generate solar electricity. A battery is disposed on the backstrap of the hat for storing solar electricity and providing existing electricity to a variety of electrical devices. Various chargers, lights, fans, motorized objects, etc may be located on an article of headwear and utilize some form of electrical current for operation. An electrical charger may used to charge a user's cell phone while they wear the article of headwear. Various electrical components may be releasably secured to an article of headwear to allow a user to interchange, upgrade, add, and remove components from a personalized electrical headwear system.
