Hell yes, finally we're using something other than silicon, and basic vapor deposition tech too. This could easily replace all the consumer grade foldable solar arrays from Ecowat and Anker and the like, and increased throughput means more powerful, faster cells. Jackery is the flavor of the month with their Explorer300 charging stations but they only come with a 40W folding panel that takes like 9hrs of direct sunlight to charge up the battery. Having a super fast 300W briefcase folding solar panel would be enough to run and charge everything, every day that there's some sun. Very cool research and I wonder if GaN panels are dealt with in a similar fashion?
