This could revolutionize camping. Think of a tent with the PV material capable of producing enough electricity to power a campsite. No noisy generator powered by gasoline.
Just a few battery packs for the individual requirements.
Quite campgrounds would be just like camping used to be. No noisy generators drowning out the boom boxes and tv’s /sarc

A few yards of the PV fabric could supply electricity to even the most remote village, with very little transportation cost.

If it is as good as they represent, why should it take 20 years to become viable?

So could my bathing suit power my computer?

Because it's never as good as they represent.
