It is based on polymeric solar cells, so that the resulting solar panel has a thickness less than 1 mm! The active layer is however only … 2 microns, and the rest is protective covers that provide a panel of appropriate properties.
The panel is not only light and thin, but also scratch resistant and splash, which makes it very durable and can safely carry it always with you in your purse or pocket.
