Ultralight fabric solar cells turn any surface into a power source - Chemical Engineering
(Page 1) Developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, these durable, flexible solar cells are glued to a strong, lightweight fabric, making them easy to install on a fixed surface. They are one-hundredth the weight of conventional solar panels, generate 18 times more power-per-kilogram, and are made from semiconducting inks using printing processes that can be scaled in the future to large-area manufacturing.
