New Solar Panels

The other day I was watching a TV show called Ecotech I think. Anyhow in that show they were showing a company, (That started with a K), that was developing a new solar panel. It was flexible, based with plastic, more efficient that the current available framed panels and they claimed it would be much cheaper because of the material cost.

It looked like thin plastic rolls and was flexible enough to take the round shapes of barrel tiles and I think each strip was only about 10" wide and I saw them spooling it in rolls.

Anyhow, did any of you catch that episode, know what I talking about or even heard of such a thing? This type of solar paneling would be ideal for the roofs of vehicles and I wanted to stay on top of production dates, costs, etc ..
