Technical FAQs 4

What are flexible solar panels?

Along with rapidly advancing battery technology, flexible solar panels are expected to create niche products that require lightweight, mechanical flexibility, and moldability into complex shapes, such as roof-panel for electric automobiles, foldable umbrellas, camping tents, etc.

What is a solar film?

Unlike conventional solar panels, solar films offer a level of flexibility and adaptability that was previously unattainable, marking a significant leap in solar technology. Heliatek, a German brand established in 2017, introduced HeliaSol, an ultra-thin, flexible solar film resembling a sticker.

How is a thin-film solar cell fabricated?

In general, a thin-film solar cell is fabricated by depositing various functional layers on a flexible substrate via techniques such as vacuum-phase deposition, solution-phase spin-coating, and printing. A flexible substrate provides mechanical support and environmental protection of the whole cell.

How flexible are solar cells?

The key aspect of the flexibility of solar cells is exhibited through the flexible substrate. The most common commercial substrate is glass, which demonstrates high transparency and robustness. However, due to the rigidity of traditional glass, it is not suitable for FPV.
