PowerFLEX 2

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document presents PowerFLEX™ BIPV, a Building Integrated Photovoltaic system designed to maximize power generation on rooftops with reduced Balance of System (BOS) and installation costs. It highlights the advantages of PowerFLEX™ BIPV over traditional solar panels.

Key Features:

Integration: No mounting hardware or roof penetrations required, minimizing wind load.
Flexibility: Suitable for various roof types, durable, and non-breakable.
Lightweight: Weighs 3.6 kg/m² with adhesive, eliminating the need for structural reinforcement.

Performance:

Efficiency: High efficiency CIGS technology with 10.4% to 12.7% aperture efficiency, outperforming a-Si by 50%.
Energy Production: Performs well in all light conditions and is shade tolerant, covering the entire roof area without tilt.
Cost Efficiency: Offers 30% to 40% savings in BOS and installation costs.

Technical Specifications:

Module Sizes: Available in 82-100 Watts with dimensions of 2.0 m x 0.5 m.
Operating Conditions: Temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, with certifications including EN 61646, EN 61730, and UL 1703.
Electrical Specifications: Includes details on capacity rating, voltage, current, and temperature coefficients.

Installation and Warranty:

Installation Location: Example provided for Munich, showcasing power generation and cost benefits.
Warranty: 5 years for materials and workmanship, 25 years for power output (90% at 10 years, 80% at 25 years).

Additional Information:

Hot Spot Protection: Features 2 bypass diodes at each cell and 1 at the junction box.
Materials: Lead-free and RoHS compliant, with color options for the backsheet.
Contact Information: Global Solar® Energy, Inc., Tucson, Arizona, USA.
