While it has taken over as the most widespread renewable energy source and the one most likely to power the future, solar technology is about to enter a new era that provides even greater opportunity to scale up further. Flexible cells will expand the possibilities by enabling integration into a variety of surfaces, such as clothing, windows, and curved structures, making the resultant energy more accessible and versatile. Dr. ANTHONY CHESMAN explains how their lightweight and adaptable nature also allows for easier installation in remote or unconventional locations and industries, enhancing the potential for greatly enhanced adoption.
