Berlin, 02.09.2021 – Solar panel manufacturer OPES Solutions and Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP have developed a flexible standard solar module for vehicle integration. SolFlex is based on crystalline solar cells and achieves around 30% more power per square meter than current flexible modules that use thin-film technology.
More information about vehicle integrated solar OPES Solutions is a leading manufacturer of custom off-grid solar panels. The company designs and produces various types of solar panels suitable for a wide range of applications, including industries where solar was not feasible before.
The SolFlex panel. Germany-based solar panel manufacturer OpesSolutions and the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP have developed a flexible, lightweight standard solar module for vehicle integration that is claimed to be particularly suitable for cargo bikes, as well as for electric buses, trucks and vans.
Retractable solar roofs made from flexible, glass-free PV panels can be used to charge electric vehicles in areas where snow is common. What if solar roofs could fold and bend to adapt to changing weather conditions? One innovative solar roof developer is working to achieve this with a major development in electric vehicle (EV) charging in Europe.
Creative approaches to solar panel engineering are required to make solar a viable power source for EV charging infrastructure worldwide. The glass-free panels are designed in modules to allow for extension and retraction as needed. Image used courtesy of Dhp Technology
By integrating solar panels directly into the car body, OEMs and fleet operators can extend vehicle range without adding extra batteries, reduce charging downtime, improve total cost of ownership, and offer customers a truly sustainable mobility solution. Our solar panels reflect over a decade of research, development, and testing.
