Solar panels that are ultra-flexible, thin-film (CIGS), light, and useful for tents, trucks, drones, and airships.
Solar Cloth makes thin-film, ultra-flexible solar panels that are less than 1 mm thick and can be installed in places where other solar panels can’t be used. This opens up a new market for solar panels. It can be attached to a light building, a fabric area (shade fabric, tents, etc.), a truck or small vehicle, a boat, or it can be folded up and used in greenhouses or other places.
Positive facts about Solar Cloth thin film photovoltaic panel
1 square meter = 176Wp, less than 2kg and below 1mm thickness
