Common Product Specifications

Product Manufacturing Process

The flexible rooftop solar panels are manufactured using advanced thin-film photovoltaic materials. Amorphous Silicon (a-Si), Cadmium Telluride (CdTe), Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS), and Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) are used in different layers to achieve high efficiency and flexibility. The process involves the deposition of these materials onto a flexible substrate, followed by lamination to ensure durability and protection. The integration of non-destructive cutting technology and PID resistance enhances the performance and longevity of the panels. According to authoritative papers, this multi-layered approach ensures optimal energy conversion and adaptability to various surfaces.
