"entirely printable using slot-die coater, deposits layers onto substrate 3 microns thick. Using screen printing... much thinner than human hair, are glued to strong, lightweight fabric... easy to install on a fixed surface... decouples the solar cell manufacturing from its final integration... 18 times more power-per-kilogram than conventional solar cells... rolling and unrolling a fabric solar panel more than 500 times, the cells still retained more than 90 percent of their initial power generation capabilities"
