Notched islands on a thin elastomeric substrate serve as a platform for dual‐junction GaInP/GaAs solar cells with microscale dimensions and ultrathin forms for stretchable photovoltaic modules. These designs allow for a high degree of stretchability and areal coverage, and they provide a natural form of strain‐limiting behavior, helping to avoid destructive effects of extreme deformations.
