This might be enough for [[rooftop solar]] to provide about half of the world's [[energy demand]] if all rooftops were covered in organic solar panels.

===Flexibility===
{{basically|Useful feature|good}}
Organic solar cells are far more bendable than other photovoltaic materials. They could be installed in places other solar cells can't.{{xn}}
