Excellent. Now, if you could integrate thin film technology you could even cut down on the weight some more. I have heard that someone has developed a way to spray on a photovoltaic coating on car bodies in a vacuum chamber. With a large enough chamber even items like aircraft wings and fuselages could be coated.
How about doing some research on that aspect of solar? Solar powered
buildings, aircraft, ships, cars…………That would be so cool. (literally)
