There's a new super-thin solar cell out there

I saw this solar cell made by Exeger, called powerfoyle. Apparently, it can go straight onto a device, like headphones, and can charge its battery, even indoors. But I'm not sure if the output will be anything substantial. Can anyone share their thoughts? Would this be viable?

Like with battery tech, you pretty much have to assume that a solar cell that's not currently being produced and shipped is 99.99% likely vaporware.

Yeah, I suppose. It's strange how fast we've developed other tech (like GPUs) but still struggle with limited, old, inefficient energy production and storage systems.
