I believe this technology is too new to have any test data on durability. They only recently broke the barriers of the see through problem, along with the inexpensive "GREEN" manufacturing and application techniques

I got this from NENE's website, seems their film is less brittle which I would assume gives it less chance of breaking. I'm sure it won't stop a baseball or a rock though !! Those little kids in the yard!!! That's my thought.

Solar cells that are currently available are largely made of silicon wafers, an expensive and brittle material that can limit their commercial usability. Other newer generation, lower-cost, flexible thin film solar materials such as amorphous silicon, copper-indium-gallium-selenide, and cadmium telluride, often require high-vacuum and high-temperature production techniques, and are many times thicker than New Energy’s ultra-small solar cells. This generally limits the application of such thin films primarily to stainless steel, an expensive substrate material with limited prospects of delivering transparency.
