Rollable Solar Arrays

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.
