Because PowerFilm® integrated solar panels (thin film on plastic) are
developed and manufactured with a proprietary roll process by PowerFilm Incorporated, they are truly rollable unlike other thin film
technologies that are only somewhat flexible. PowerFilm® solar panels
are all monolithically integrated which eliminates the damage-prone
manual connections of individual solar cells. PowerFilm® is made of
silicon, a natural resource in abundant supply. PowerFilm® is Cadmium
Free, unlike some other solar technologies, and performs well in diverse
environments, including hot sun, and does not suffer from wasted over-voltage.
PowerFilm® products are ultra rollable because they are manufactured
on a roll up to 2400 feet long, using the proprietary roll-to-roll manufacturing
technology platform of PowerFilm Incorporated. PowerFilm Incorporated is the first and only company in the world to sell solar products manufactured
on a true roll-to-roll process using a plastic substrate.
PowerFilm® products are monolithically integrated which eliminates the
damage-prone manual connections of individual solar cells.
PowerFilm® products are constructed using a durable polymer (plastic)
substrate.
Several features enable easy integration: Paper thin low profile; Ultra
flexibility allows conformity to shapes; Complete product design eliminates
need for unsightly bolt-on frames.
Integrated with a fabric backing for enhanced product functionality.
Constructed using a proprietary combination of thin and lightweight
materials.
Cadmium Free! (Other solar technologies such as CIS, CIGS, and CdTe
contain cadmium which is considered an extremely toxic metal by the
Department of Labor.) If comparing products, check to be sure they are
Cadmium Free. Primary element used in PowerFilm® is silicon, a natural
resource in abundant supply.
