    They printed them on Dyneema? You’re telling me we now have the technology to make solar-powered tents and tarps? Fuck yeah!

      It could be totally incredible! I wonder how they get it to stick, and stay stuck, to dyneema though. In my experience it’s quite not-glueable. Dye hardly even sticks to it.

    Another win for solar. This industry has been exploding for years with no end in sight.

    Should be much easier to apply PV to vehicles if these prototypes become as easily commercially produced as they appear to be.

    Very exciting

      Yup. If we also get transparent solar panels (that only absorb invisible light), we could put them basically anywhere. Solar panel picnic blankets. Solar panel doormats. Solar panel monitors!

      Someone said this on the original post on one of the technology communities. They probably meant very thin

    Can’t wait to buy a roll of Solar Sheet to put on the roof - or over a tent.
