Ovonics was doing roll-to-roll solar cells in the 1980s, were they not? This is exciting if the technology scales better or something, but I can't help feeling that we've stagnated a bit.

costs of solar panels of all sorts have dropped 100 fold in that time. I'm not sure I'd call that stagnation.

What material though? Nanosolar was also doing CIGS roll-to-roll cells, and that didn't work out too well for them.
