With back adhesive tape or non-adhesive film back, offers a wide options of installation methods for customers.

The products are specifically designed for rooftop installations. 

 

MiaSolé is the producer of powerful, lightweight, shatterproof andflexible solar cells. The innovative solar cell is based on the highestefficiency thin–film technology available today, and its flexible cell architecture makes it ideal for a wide variety of solutions ranging from off-grid transportation solutions to commercial roofing solarpanels to flexible mobile devices.

 

Why flexible Solar:

Flexible lightweight shatterproof solar cells and modules can go where rigid breakable glass modules can’t. This makes it possible to add solarenergy generation to curved surfaces, vehicles, structures such as carports and storage facilities, floating reservoir covers, landfill membrane covers,low load capacity roofs, as well as mobile devices and many other applications.

1.Strong Light Absorption

CIGS PV draws on the best characteristics of copper, indium, gallium, and selenium. It absorbs light over the widest spectral range, not only within the visible light spectrum in the same manner as crystalline silicon and amorphous, but also absorb light in the infrared range, from 700-1,200 nm. This means that CIGS PV can capture light for a longer period of time during a given day, a crucial advantage for high latitudes and altitudes where sunlight may be limited, or for short winter days.

2.Stable Energy Generation

Crystalline silicon PV exhibits light diffusion and photo deterioration when exposed to the sun for long periods of time, thus causing their power generation capability to gradually decline. CIGS PV does not suffer from these phenomena. Thus, from the long-term perspective, CIGS PV offers more stable energy generation and requires less maintenance costs.

3.High Transfer Efficiency, High Overall Electrical Output

According to the National Renewable Energy Labs (NREL), CIGS PV can currently attain up to a 19.9% efficiency rate. However, the highest rate recorded in the industry has been up to 16%, with an average rate of 12%. It is worth noting that when crystalline silicon (efficiency of 16%) and CIGS are tested together outdoors, the latter generates 1.2 times more energy than the former. Even though the current in use CIGS PV’s efficiency be lower than that of silicon-based, CIGS PV absorbs more sunlight per day and so produces more energy in total.

4.Low Production Costs

The main cost of CIGS PV lies in its raw materials—copper, indium, gallium and selenium. However, it requires only ordinary soda glass as opposed to special ultra-white or thin-film conductive glass. While the aforementioned metals are precious metals, CIGS PV requires no more than a 3 um (1 um = 1/1000mm) coat, giving it a competitive per unit cost.

5.Short Energy Payback

Time Renewable energy offers many benefits. However, manufacturing the technology to produce such energy is itself resource-intensive. Thus, in assessing whether a particular type of renewable energy is genuinely sustainable, one needs to look at not only its efficiency but also how long it takes for the renewable energy produced to offset the resources needed to produce that facility. This is known as “EPBT”(energy payback time). According to the U.S. Department of Energy, assuming a 30-year lifespan for solar installments, the EPBT of crystalline silicon PV has been estimated to be about 2-4 years. By contrast, CIGS PV is estimated only  1-2 years. In other words, any of the PV systems above mentioned would have a roughly 26-29 year lifespan of truly pollution-free use. In a nutshell, CIGS comes out on top.

How do we do it?

We begin with high–grade stainless steel foil and use an advanced semiconductor deposition process, PVD, to produce the most controlled,stable, and powerful flexible stainless steel CIGS cell in the world. Once the cell structure is deposited on the foil, special transparent conductiveoxides are applied, and a specialized plastic-cell interconnect meshwire system is laminated to the cell, which is in turn protected by special water barrier plastics. The transparent water barrier is key to the longevity of MiaSolé FLEX modules. The special plastic back sheet has an internalaluminum film to prevent water transmission from eroding the powerfulstainless steel CIGS cells.
