Flexible, thin film solar panels are great, as they can stick to the wall and even any curvy surfaces, that would turn a building or your house into a huge solar power house. Or the flexible solar panels can also be applied on gadgets or portable devices to ensure you'll never run out of juice as long as you have exposure to sunlight.
The company behind the flexible or thin-film solar panels is called SoloPower, which has raised another $51.6 million venture investment to design, manufacture and distribute their thin-film solar technology.
SoloPower also uses a proprietary electroplating-based process to manufacture its CIGS cells on flexible metal foil. The devices are then processed in a moduling line and laminated in an encapsulation system that provides a moisture barrier and environmental integrity. The company expects…to address the commercial and industrial rooftop and distributed solar power generation markets.
Hopefully, they can roll their flexible solar panels to the market asap, as there is a host of applications waiting for it out there. And it'll be a great helper for developing countries that have been facing shortage of power.
