Flexible thin film PV Systems
The lightweight alternative to modules
Thin film is the affordable lightweight alternative to regular modules. Suitable where there are structural issues as it contains no glass. It’s Triple junction technology utilises three spectral light ranges and delivers higher returns despite:
- low light
- high temperatures
- partial shadow
- flat surface installation
Axter PV on Bitumen membrane. Traditional hot torched shown on the left, laid with a Sedum Roof in modular trays This is the ideal lightweight solution for larger scale installations where roof loadings are an issue.
Thin film has a lower efficiency than silicon modules but is competitive at low or unfavourable pitches and orientations. Because no glass is used in the encapsulation it is especially useful for sites where vandalism is a concern.
The solutions shown below are, from left to right, SF Uniflat and SF Unitape
