Installation of  Flexible solar panels on a roof surface

What is Flexible solar panels?

Flexible solar panels use the best technology of alternate energies these days due to it's ease to use and low cost also it provides alternative energy clean and silence for Indoor and outdoor purposes.

The vast majority of flexible solar panels depend on solar cell technology. The flexible solar panels are typically made with a roll-to-roll manufacturing approach that deposits thin-film amorphous silicon, which is placed over polymer substrates.

Why Flexible Solar Panels is your best choice?

unbreakable:

Unlike conventional crystalline silicon PV modules, which are based on bulky and bright glass, flexible solar PV modules are made of thin and flexible polymers, which are tough, durable and safe to use.

customized and integratable:

By using the roll-to-roll manufacturing method you will get several of lengths and widths in PV module's final production, thus make these PV panels integrated to be customized with many applications and purposes.

highly flexible:

The true mechanical of flexibility PV modules allow for the integration with elements of various shapes and sizes and the design of innovative solar products. thin and light weight: The lightness of flexible solar PV foil makes it suitable for applications where weight is important. Such very PV foil enables the aesthetic integration with various materials.

environmentally friendly:

In addition to these unique properties, flexible solar PV foil is environmentally friendly the electricity produces is clean and the manufacturing process is based abundant, recyclable materials. The energy payback of flexible products is 3-4 times faster than products based on conventional PV technologies.

How does thin film solar cell works?

A thin film solar cell or thin film photovoltaic cell "as shown in figure" made from photovoltaic material printed with fast newspaper printing technology on a roll of conductive plastic, Using this method, we can get high-quality material and good sensitivity to light, also can reduce the cost per kilowatt hour (kWh) compared with rigid panels, The roll-to-roll manufacturing process enables us to get several sizes from the roll by cutting them to specified width and length. Work is still continuing to improve the properties to the cells produced in this way to produce cells capable of absorbing light full term to improve the production of electricity and reduce costs.

Flexible Photovoltaic cells integrated with buildings

Flexible solar panels are integrated with new buildings

Flexible solar panels can be installed directly onto the roofs of buildings or combined with material covering, the advantage of down weight and weatherproof gives these panels the flexibility to apply in several ways. Some designers work on it to be apply to glass. Thin film technology is being developed for building integrated photovoltaic in the form of semi-transparent solar cells that can be applied as window panes. These cells function as windows tinting while it generates electricity.

Purchasing and prices:

Many sizes available in markets for Flexible solar panels

Flexible solar panels come in the form of peels like the old photographic films of course they have different sizes. Their sizes are numerous, for example:The 144 watt panel has the size of:

 213.1"length,14.69" width, 0.12" thickness (541.3x37.3x0.31) cm   (about 150$)

The 68 watt panel has the size of:

112.1” length, 15.5” width, 6” thickness       (284.7x39.4x1.5) cm 

The 124 watt panel has the size of:

216.4" length, 15.5" width, 0.2" depth (520x132x.02) cm

Furthermore, there are some mini sizes, which can be used to recharge a cell phone …… etc.

the 0.5 watt panel has the size of:

7" length, 1.6" width, 0.04" thickness (18x4x0.01) cm   (about 12.0$)

There are many companies that work within this field. Therefore, there are a lot of brands and so a lot of prices the difference between prices of different brands isn't that wide.
