Flexible Solar Panels - Consumer Ready Modules - OEM
Silicon Solar > Solar Panels > Flexible Solar Panels
Solar technology has reached its most
convenient, lightweight form: the newly-engineered flexible solar panel.
Silicon Solar is the proud carrier of over 50 modules of flexible solar panels,
offered in a variety of sizes.
Through recent developments, Silicon
Solar has provided ways of listing thin, light weight, flexible solar panels
allowing for multiple applications to now be solar accessible that never were
before.
Thin Film solar cells and panels now
allow for several types of application to be introduced into the market
including solar backpacks, solar thin film clothing and athletic apparel. We at Silicon Solar have taken these methods to
the extreme and receive requests from customers who give us incentive and
constructive feedback on developing new ways of utilizing this technology not
only for them, but for you as well. Each flexible solar panel can be rolled up
to 2 inches in diameter, making the paper thin solar cell one of the most
durable and long lasting solar modules on the market.

| Our 3-4v OEM series flexible modules are great for integrating into your custom solar battery charger. With solder pads at both ends of the solar cells, it makes interconnecting our 3-4v flexible series modules a simple task.
The low voltage thin film solar cells make soldering easier and safer than ever before. No more having the solar cells from a polycrystalline solar cell crack. Just place down, hold with hand, and solder away. Once done soldering you can easily re-seal material with a light weight epoxy or glue form seal allowing no air or water to get in to solar cell. Once soldering is complete, expect for years of enjoyment and little maintenance.
Our 3 or 4 Volt flexible thin film solar cells are great for small projects with kids and family members on the prowl for alternative energy education. Each solar cell can be hand touched without damage or worry.
Ideal for backpacking and using small emergency devices such as cell phones, lighting equipment, and or emergency receivers with battery back up. The 3V-4V solar panels make great charging devices for AA, AAA, C and D batteries. |

Our 6-7v OEM series flexible modules are great for integrating into your custom solar battery charger. With solder pads at both ends of the solar cells, it makes interconnecting our 6-7v flexible series modules a simple task.
Each of our thin film solar cells solve the old problem with solar cells being too heavy, fragile, bulky and most importantly, not flexible. The durable, paper-thin, light weight thin film solar cells make carrying, transporting, and shipping of any solar cells easy and hassle free. This allows for places of dangerous terrain to even be able to access this new technology making there environment more energy free from gas and other fossil fuels.
Each solar cell can be soldered on the copper tape at the end of each solar cell and all have an extra seal of weatherproof protection and adhesion. For secure connection we recommend crimping on the copper tab, ribbon or use of a soldering iron if available. |
| Features |
| » 6-7v output |
| » great for recharging 6v battery packs |
| » lightweight, flexible design |
| » utilizes latest flexible solar cell technology |

Our 12v OEM series flexible modules are great for integrating into your custom solar battery charger. With solder pads at both ends of the solar cells, interconnecting our 12v flexible series modules is a simple tasks.
Each of our thin film flexible solar modules come pre-built with a durable junction box and a reverse blocking diode made from marine grade material.
However, depending on the size of your system, we recommend use of the flexible solar cell accessories which allow you to attach extensions for longer reach from solar panel to solar battery, or to protect against higher output given from a large power source. We recommend that each solar panel have a charge controller to limit any chances of damaging your thin film flexible solar panel.
Each thin film solar cell is designed to be monolithically integrated in each solar cell allowing it to be more flexible than its predecessors. Each thin film module perform great in well diverse in environments including hot direct sunlight or cold weather temperatures. Each panel is cadmium free.

Flexible solar panels use the same concepts as traditional semiconducting solar panels. They are
capable of being flexible because of the production process used: thin film
deposition.
It is possible to deposit thin layers of silicon
onto flexible substrates, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The silicon
is able to bend along with the flexible PET substrate without compromising
structure because the silicon layers are only micrometers thick.
Thin Film Processing:
Thin film processing has an advantage over
typical manufacturing techniques due the ease of manufacturing and reduction in
manufacturing costs. The process allows manufacturers to create large rolls
that can later be cut into smaller pieces. Not only are flexible solar panels
inexpensive but they are also lightweight in comparison to their non-flexible
counterparts.
This makes the flexible solar panel ideal for
portability and where available space can be an issue. Practical applications
for these solar cells include, but are not limited to, charging AA, AAA, 6
volt, and 12 volt batteries.
In the Flexible Solar Panels Subcategory, you
will find 12v Consumer Ready Panels, 12v Flexible Solar Panels, 3v-4v Flexible
Solar Panels, 6v-7v Flexible Solar Panels, and a selection of Flexible Solar
Panel Accessories. The 12v Consumer Ready Panels are available wattages ranging
from 5 watts to 50 watts. The 12v Flexible Solar Panels offer large solar pads
which allow easy interconnection. The 3v-4v Flexible Solar Panels are ideal
panels for charging AA, AAA, C and D rechargeable batteries. The 6v-7v Flexible
Solar Panels are a good choice recharging 6v battery packs. |
