Yes! Very interesting. Not just for space, but any mobile application of solar power, where weight matters. E.g. Solar charged electric vehicles. Power producing tents for camping in remote places. Electric thrusters for astronauts to be able to move around in space without tethers. Incidentally, I noticed in the pictures shown during your video, there were solar panels which were being automatically wiped clean. Obviously needed for rovers on other planets!

@garethrobinson2275 Yes you are right. I was misled by a statement that these new cells were "much more powerful". I did not realize when I wrote that, that they were much more powerful; weight for weight as against area for area. However, if they can be easily folded, you could carry a big area of solar cells in the boot and unfold it when you arrived to charge up your car's battery, perhaps?
