Claim 17:
18. A method of manufacturing an energy harvesting tape, the method comprising:
constructing a plurality of energy harvesting layers for a flexible tape segment using one or more roll-to-roll processing techniques, the plurality of energy harvesting layers including:
a solar cell layer configured to capture solar energy,
a thermoelectric layer configured to capture thermal energy, and
one or more piezoelectric layers configured to capture mechanical or radiofrequency energy and to transmit a radiofrequency signal; and

assembling the plurality of energy harvesting layers directly atop one another to form the energy harvesting tape having a length, a width, and a thickness, where the length is greater than the width, and the width is greater than the thickness.
