PV Flexibles

Solar Power in Its Most Flexible Form.

A new generation of highly flexible thin-film solar cells has reached maturity phase. Together with our sister company, SolarNext, we are able to offer this technology integrated with membrane and foil structures.

In a large-scale lamination process this coated substrate foil is encapsulated in two layers of fluorpolymer-foil. Being used in the building sector for decades, fluorpolymers have proved their value through long-term durability and a self-cleaning surface.

The high light transmission of the fluorpolymer-encapsulation ensures the highest energy output of the photovoltaic cells possible.

The degree of shading is dependent on the chosen membrane material. Conventional shading systems might become dispensable and therefore can be omitted. The heating up of the building due to solar irradiation and the resulting cooling loads in the summer are minimised.

PV Flexibles are produced in a roll-to-roll process in a very economical way. The width of the photovoltaic film is 30cm at a length of currently 3m maximum.
