Because PowerFilm integrated solar panels (thin film on plastic) are developed and manufactured with a proprietary roll-to-roll process, by PowerFilm, Inc., they are truly rollable unlike other thin film technologies that are only somewhat flexible. PowerFilm solar panels are monolithically integrated which eliminates the damage-prone manual connections of individual solar cells. PowerFilm is made of silicon, a natural resource in abundant supply. PowerFilm performs well in diverse enviroments, including hot sun, and does not suffer from wasted over-voltage. Cadmium Free.
Features:
Ultra Rollable:
PowerFilm products are ultra rollable because they are manufactured on a roll up to 2400 feet long, using the proprietary roll-to-roll manufacturing technology platform of PowerFilm Incorporated. PowerFilm Incorporated is the first and only company in the world to sell solar products manufactured on a true roll-to-roll process using a plastic substrate.
Durable:
PowerFilm products are monolithically integrated which eliminates the damage-prone manual connections of individual solar cells. PowerFilm products are constructed using a durable polymer (plastic) substrate.
Easily Integrated:
Several features enable easy integration: Paper thin low profile; Ultra flexibility allows conformity to shapes; Complete product design eliminates need for unsightly bolt-on frames.
Fabric Integrated:
Integrated with a fabric backing for enhanced product functionality.
Lightweight:
Constructed using a proprietary combination of thin and lightweight materials.
Environmentally Friendly Profile:
Cadmium Free! (Other solar technologies such as CIS, CIGS, and CdTe contain cadmium which is considered an extremely toxic metal by the Department of Labor.) If comparing products, check to be sure they are Cadmium Free. Primary element used in PowerFilm is silicon, a natural resource in abundant supply.
