This is great! Flexible solar makes sense in a real-world environment where things tend to wiggle a bit. It should also avoid needing to make hundreds of little soldered connections between cells in a panel, and avoid needing the rigid backing plate. Good stuff!

There were rumors about a solar manufacturing plant coming to Eugene, anyone heard anything about that? I think I heard they were looking to use the old Hynix facility. Willsonville is too far north, darn it.

Just wanted to bump this and post an interesting find. Relatively speaking I would call these cheap especially for flexible solar cells. Might go nice on an ellipsoid base conical fairing

heard this also. I drive by the Hynix place every day on my way to work and have been watching for any signs of life and haven't seen much yet.
