A flexible solar panel makes it easy to take solar power with you wherever you go. Some of these panels can be rolled up like a poster and brought along if you’re heading to the beach, camping, boating, or RVing. Others are not quite so flexible, but more on that later.
Now a startup in Israel is producing solar panels on a roll. They’re light, flexible, and they can be applied to virtually any surface. It opens up a world of opportunities, for ultra-thin panels on sidewalks, reservoirs, greenhouses, golf carts, even airplanes or car roofs.
Rollable solar panel design incorporates an amorphous technology so that no glass is used and a significant wattage range can be covered. In this way, rollable solar technology makes it possible to charge batteries up to 12V. Used with the right cables and accessories, it’s also possible to charge and run devices.
It’s likely that in the future, as people seek clean and cheap energy in more applications, most flexible solar panels will utilize thin film technology. Flexible solar panels are bendable, allowing them to be installed on curved surfaces such as the top of a camper.
Despite the rather obvious (and perhaps superficial) differences, flexible solar panels work a lot like conventional (flat) solar panels, as they are based on the same photovoltaic technology—the ability to generate solar power from direct sunlight absorbed by the material.
Roll up solar panels stay portable by using a flexible protective coating over ultra-thin silicon wafer solar cells or thin-film technologies like amorphous silicon or CIGS. Using a protective polymer known as ETFE instead of an aluminum frame and glass makes a roll up portable solar panel much lighter than a traditional panel.
