Default Solara solar panels still in business?

Been trying to find a supplier for Solara bendable glue-on solar
panels. The SM225m model is a perfect fit on a slightly curved hatch
dodger on my boat, and I need the thinness of the SM series panels
because of clearance and aesthetic issues.

Is Solara a going concern? I've called their headquarters and East
Coast site numbers a dozen times the last few weeks, only get voicemail
with full inboxes so you can't leave a message, a sign of a dead or
dying company. The only place I've seen these things (besides their
glossy website brochures) is on Ocean racing Open class boats, like
Volvo 70s and Ellen Macarthur's boats.

There's a few websites that claim to market them, but I'm not excited
about shipping from England or Germany :-) I'm in San Diego, and would
prefer to examine one before plunking down my $600. I've looked for
similar panels (marine grade, flexible steel backing, no frame, about a
24"x30" form factor) to no avail.
