Companies Plan Large Flexible Solar PV Modules for Rooftops
http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/news/story?id=46348

Littleton, Colorado Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. and PermaCity Solar are jointly developing a series of new products, including a large, flexible "plug-and-play" photovoltaic (PV) module for use in the commercial and residential rooftop markets. Ascent Solar predicts that these new modules, which will reduce installation from weeks to days, as they "snap" together, and will cut the cost of electricity generated with today's silicon-based PV systems by a factor of two.

1. I've got 1300 square feet of flat rooftop in the desert
and I'm just waiting for this stuff to hit the market.

I've been following the progress for about 5 years.

3. Do you have to have a flat roof?
I live in CA (edge of Ca desert) but I have a slope to my roof but would very much like to add these types of panels.
