This has its own applications but I can't say I've ever heard anyone complain about thickness of solar panels. Efficiency, power generated, etc. Sure.

Use cases increase if they are thin. Instead of limited to rooftops. For example, take a look at what Aptera is doing.

Burning investor money on a DOA meme product just like Lightyear One did?
