are flexible solar panels possible?
Is there a material that is capable of absorbing enough UV radiation to make it worth using as a flexible solar cell?
Not flexible as in aluminum, but a material such as plastic (polycarbonate).

Yes, they already exist. I have one here.
Of Coarse! In fact flexible solar panels have already been invented. Ever hear of a solar panel shirt? Instead of the standard crystalline silicon cell these new solar panels use a flexible polymorphous silicon cell to pull in power from the sun’s rays. They can be placed on clothing, cell phones, and virtually anything else.
Yes it depends on the material of the bearings fixed, on the “to be Moved” pivots!/–Fulcrums/turning points/hinges.etc. but the wiring for commands has to reach them keeping them moveable in unhospitibale temperatures.The heating effect of an electric current is benificial too.
