      Generally solar cells are fixed, like any other device. I am trying to make them flexible, which means the cells will be bendy. They can be stretched, bent etc. This us important because then, we can make the devices very much lighter in weight and also they can be easily integrated into other systems like textiles, patches etc and will widen the applications of solar cells.
