SolarWindow has launched ElectroFlex, an ultra-thin, flexible, self-adhesive star merchandise for level and curved surfaces. The caller merchandise features 24.4% compartment ratio and targets transportation, aerospace, buildings and different weight-sensitive applications.
US-based SolarWindow Technologies has announced the commercialized motorboat of ElectroFlex, an ultra-thin, elastic star merchandise designed to make energy connected level and curved surfaces.
The merchandise targets applications wherever accepted PV modules look limitations owed to weight, rigidity, aliases mounting requirements.
The institution describes ElectroFlex arsenic a “peel-and-stick” solution that tin beryllium applied straight to various surfaces without frames, rigid glass, aliases accepted support structures. Its size and colour tin beryllium customized to meet customer specifications.
The caller merchandise consists of a five-layer composite laminate measuring 0.85 mm successful full thickness. The stack comprises a 0.10 mm beforehand encapsulant, 0.16 mm high-efficiency star cells, a 0.04 mm copper compartment backing, a 0.30 mm composite laminate and a 0.25 mm rear substrate.
ElectroFlex is 0.85 mm heavy and integrates interdigitated back-contact (IBC) cells pinch a powerfulness conversion ratio of 24.4%, according to the manufacturer. It has a power-to-weight ratio of astir 73 W/kg.
SolarWindow said it besides supplies wiring, harnesses, electrical systems, and power-balancing components needed to merge the merchandise and present the energy it generates.
The institution is targeting applications successful the transportation, marine, aerospace, architecture, agriculture, infrastructure, utility, and specialty conveyance sectors.
Potential applications see information centers and buildings, roofs of commercialized trucks and fleet vehicles, curved train surfaces, and drone and craft structures, according to the manufacturer.
ElectroFlex is initially disposable to Tier 1 original instrumentality manufacturers (OEMs) successful the United States. SolarWindow said it plans to grow income to selected markets successful North America and Asia complete the coming quarters.
The institution is besides processing LiquidElectricity, a transparent coating designed to move solid and integrative surfaces into electricity-generating elements. SolarWindow claims the technology, which remains nether development, could make energy from earthy and artificial light, arsenic good arsenic low-intensity, shaded, and reflected light.
