Rollable Solar Arrays

Published in Technology

Ooh, PowerFilm Rollable Solar Array [via The Red Ferret Journal]. And rather reasonably priced (300mA – $150, 600mA – $250, 1200mA – $480). Looks like a really good option for traveling power supply.

Harkens back to my days on the UVA Solar Airship project. Would have been nice to have flexible solar arrays.
