Thin film photovoltiacs may one day power fabric structures

PV Flexibles on PTFE membranes
I recently came across this interesting article about thin-film photovoltaic cells and how they could be applied to fabric structures. While it appears they are still in early stages of development, preliminary results look promising. We are currently working with a research group at the University of Virginia School of Architecture on real-world application of this technology. Perhaps one day a fabric building will generate power for its owners?
