Abstract:Stretchable photovoltaics have garnered increasing attention due to their adaptability to various surfaces and applications, meeting the rising demands for portable and flexible power sources. In this work, stretchable solar modules are demonstrated by sandwiching electrically connected rigid solar cells between top and bottom polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers, which are then attached onto an elastomer with an island and trench structure. The electrical connection of solar cells is achieved by dispenser‐print… Show more
