The installation is one of the barriers for the total triumph of the solar panels. China wants to fix it with “stickers”
Betting on the installation of solar panels is something that seems key in the Ride for decarbonization in which we are immersed. And the country that has proposed to dominate the production and sale Of these panels is China. Multitude of companies have risen to the ship of the production of photovoltaic panels, so much that a Price war that is not favoring To the industry itself. And in that wild competitiveness, betting on innovation is key. As a result, one of these companies has recently shown its new products. The objective: fill all the roofs of these flexible solar panels. The keys. That company is Polyshine Solar, a Shanghai -based company that has been focusing solar panels that can boast something very unique: being light. This is not easy, but at the opening of the World Smart Energy Week, held in Tokyo, the Chinese company has shown His new flexible panels. These panels stand out for three key features: their simple installation with an adhesive layer that allows a fast deployment, its flexibility to adapt to various surfaces and a weight 70% lower than conventional glass panels. Behind those happy lords are the panels “Paradigma change”. Although what attracts attention is the weight of the panel and a flexion radius that the company has affirmed that it is 0.5 meters, which define As a “paradigm change” in the energy transition is the ease of application of the panel. Thanks to this simplification of the installation by reducing the action to a process of “paste and generating electricity”, Polyshine Solar considers that it will be something that democratizes access to renewables. Characteristics. On the margin, these modules are available in several versions with powers that vary between 505 W and 535 W. The energy conversion efficiency is between 19 and 20.1% and the panels have dimensions of 2,246 x 1,185 x 2.5 mm and a weight of 7.5 kg. This combination of weight, flexibility and the ease of placing them, “eliminate installation barriers on curved surfaces or structures with low load capacity, without additional reconditioning costs,” Comment The company. Apart from the adhesive surface, you can also hang and hold with straps. Guarantees. Polyshine states that, after 25 years, their panels will maintain at least 84.8% of their output power. They have IP68 protection against water and dust thanks to an EVA encapsulated and can operate in a temperature range between -40 ° and 85 ° Celsius. For a few years, the company’s light panels have been placed In areas such as acoustic barriers for roads within cities, resisting vehicle vibrations. And challenges. Now, as well Comment The company, getting a reduction in weight is not easy and is something that is at odds with efficiency. Each 0.1% increase in lightness and flexibility represents a challenge because it is something that can affect energy production. To face this, these years have opted for highly transparent materials, and the fruits are modules that generate 2% more energy in the same conditions as similar products. They do not specify what these similar products are, but they do comment that, although 2% look little, when 1,000 m² of their panels are installed, there are additional 5,000 kWh per year. Beyond corporate discourse, this progress reflects a change of focus on industry: they not only seek Improve energy efficiencybut optimize weight and ease of installation for Accelerate the adoption of renewables.
