Solar Energy in Space Applications: Review and Technology …
[112, 113] Finally, flexible PV materials would allow the development of truly rollable and lightweight solar arrays. Currently, flexible blanket solar arrays have a specific power of ≈150 W kg −1 and an areal power density of ≈338 W m −2 which is higher than that of rigid panels (≈80 W kg −1 and ≈330 W m −2, respectively).
