"US-based SolarWindow Technologies has announced the commercial launch of
ElectroFlex, an ultra-thin, flexible solar product designed to generate
electricity on flat and curved surfaces.
The product targets applications where conventional PV modules face limitations
due to weight, rigidity, or mounting requirements.
The company describes ElectroFlex as a “peel-and-stick” solution that can be
applied directly to various surfaces without frames, rigid glass, or
conventional support structures. Its size and color can be customized to meet
customer specifications.
The new product consists of a five-layer composite laminate measuring 0.85 mm
in total thickness. The stack comprises a 0.10 mm front encapsulant, 0.16 mm
high-efficiency solar cells, a 0.04 mm copper cell backing, a 0.30 mm composite
laminate and a 0.25 mm rear substrate.
ElectroFlex is 0.85 mm thick and integrates interdigitated back-contact (IBC)
cells with a power conversion efficiency of 24.4%, according to the
manufacturer. It has a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 73 W/kg.
SolarWindow said it also supplies wiring, harnesses, electrical systems, and
power-balancing components needed to integrate the product and deliver the
electricity it generates.
The company is targeting applications in the transportation, marine, aerospace,
architecture, agriculture, infrastructure, utility, and specialty vehicle
sectors.
Potential applications include data centers and buildings, roofs of commercial
trucks and fleet vehicles, curved train surfaces, and drone and aircraft
structures, according to the manufacturer."
