I want these rolled up as camper trailer/rv awnings. One on each side, park pointed North South and drink in the power. Not little awnings either, big ones. You might get more surface area than roof mounted. Or do roof and awnings.
I could also see them being good as those portable awnings people take to the beach. Roll them out instead of fold out, and provide power outlets and usb hub.
Would be really awesome to have that kind of flexibility for options. I was looking around for random solar stuff a couple months ago, and saw some articles about Anker showing off a solar panel umbrella a few years ago. Was super psyched because my parents have a deck table that the big umbrella has been messed up beyond use for years. Would be awesome to have something that large for my Solix C1000X (if compatible). But they never released it. So if China starts making these at scale, maybe something like the deck umbrella will finally come out. Really want to have options that can be multipurpose. Awnings would be very nice options like you said.
Oh yea, umbrellas would be cool. I can also see how smaller rolls would be great for camping/backpacking. The current ones are more battery than panel and take forever to recharge via the panel. But a roll the size of a sleeping pad could do a LOT for cellphones and other portable electronics.
