Belgian thin film solar modules

What are thin-film solar panels?

In Summary Thin-film solar panels have solar cells with light-absorbing layers that are far smaller than the ones in conventional silicon panels. As a result, they are the lightest PV cells that offer efficiency and durability. Typically, flexible solar panels are made from thin sheets of plastic, metal or glasses.

What are the advantages of thin-film solar?

With thin-film solar the active layer is magnitude thinner compared to conventional solar. This has several advantages, it saves costly materials and it can be made flexible. Shared research and working with partners in academia and industry, creates new perspectives and forces you to think creative, let’s you see the other party’s perspective.
