Yeah, if the UT solar power sources are "too heavy" then that's an indicator that UT is dated and Real Life (TM) has surpassed it. (Sort of like with 3D printers.)

flexible solar cell when hiking.

I'd say that when we start bringing up mountaineering gear or
crops that we're beyond the realm of "legally sufficient" life-pods and well into the realm of mini-colonization ships. :) Or, at least mini-exploration ships.
