Technical FAQs 4

What is a flexible solar panel?

A flexible solar panel makes it easy to take solar power with you wherever you go. Some of these panels can be rolled up like a poster and brought along if you’re heading to the beach, camping, boating, or RVing. Others are not quite so flexible, but more on that later.

What are the advantages of flexible solar panels?

Extreme Flexibility: Can bend, fold, or roll up for easy transport—perfect for camping, hiking, and emergency power needs. Lower Cost: Requires less material to manufacture, making it the cheapest type of flexible solar panel. Less Durable: Without a protective silicon layer, thin-film panels are more prone to wear and tear over time.

How do roll up solar panels stay portable?

Roll up solar panels stay portable by using a flexible protective coating over ultra-thin silicon wafer solar cells or thin-film technologies like amorphous silicon or CIGS. Using a protective polymer known as ETFE instead of an aluminum frame and glass makes a roll up portable solar panel much lighter than a traditional panel.

Why are roll-up solar panels so rigid & bulky?

They are rigid and bulky due to their solid covering and rigid frame. Roll up solar panels stay portable by using a flexible protective coating over ultra-thin silicon wafer solar cells or thin-film technologies like amorphous silicon or CIGS.
