Type of Flexible Solar Panel
If you want to know the types of flexible solar panels and know how to choose the right type of flexible solar panels for you, this article will teach you how to choose the right flexible solar panels and meet your different usage scenarios. Whether you are a distributor or an individual user, this article is suitable for you.
1.Type of Flexible Solar Panel
2.Advantages of Flexible Solar Panels and Semi-Flexible Solar Panel
Semi-Flexible Solar Panels:
Advantage 1: The panels are 100% sealed with double-sided ETFE material, making the solar panels more waterproof.
Advantage 2: The surface of the solar panel has a solid large-particle ETFE design, and people can walk on the surface of the solar panel.
Advantage 3: Semi-flexible solar panels are more suitable for marine use scenarios, such as yachts, buoys, water photovoltaic systems, etc.
Flexible Solar Panels:
Advantage 1: The solar panel material is designed to be lighter, and the 100W panel is only 1.8KG.
Advantage 2: Anti-cracking materials are added inside the flexible solar panel, which can better protect the solar cell from breaking when encountering vibration and bending. It is more suitable for installation on the roof of the car and curved surfaces and use scenarios with weight requirements.
Why can't Semi-Flexible Solar Panels Bend?
Because the semi-flexible solar panel is a lightweight and strong design, the solar panel has a fiberglass material inside, which can help increase the strength of the solar panel. However, the semi-flexible solar panel cannot be bent because the fiberglass material is very strong. A slight bend will cause the solar cells inside the solar panel to break, resulting in a decrease in the power of the solar panel.
Why Can Flexible Solar Panels Bend?
We added a layer of anti-crack material inside the flexible solar panel. The purpose of this material is to protect the solar cell from breaking when it is bent.And it can also effectively prevent the solar panel cells from breaking in a vibration environment.
How Should I Choose The Right Type of Flexible Solar Panel For Me?
First of all, we need to know in which application scenarios the flexible solar panels are installed? Is there a curved surface in the installation area?
Semi-flexible solar panels are suitable for installation on flat surfaces and in environments without long-term vibration.
Flexible solar panels have more diverse installations and can be installed on curved surfaces or roofs.
Conclusion:
If you are installing on a yacht or marine application, the installation surface is not curved, and there is a high requirement for waterproof performance, then semi-flexible solar panels are the best choice for you.
If you are installing on the roof or curved roof, and there is a requirement for installation weight, then flexible solar panels are the best choice for you.
