YOU STUMPED THEM AT FLEXIBILITY:

Carroll's Cambridge-based Solar Cloth Company makes lightweight, flexible solar panels which can be rolled and fitted onto curved and flexible structures such as domes or coverings for agricultural land, as well as on the roofs of buildings unable to sustain the weight of glass panels.

"Solar is moving from being a hard, inflexible and one-colour product to being soft lightweight, flexible, and maybe even multicoloured," he said. "In solar everybody only knows those glass panels going on roofs and on farmland, fields, solar farms. Why can't solar be everywhere in all different types of aspects?

Why can't it be so that when you pull your car into your driveway that there is a canopy that charges the thing?"
