PowerFLEX? BIPV

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed comparison of PowerFLEX™ BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) with traditional solar panel systems, highlighting its advantages in terms of power output, installation, and cost efficiency.
Key Features:
  • Integration: PowerFLEX™ BIPV integrates seamlessly with roofing surfaces without the need for mounting hardware or roof penetrations, reducing wind load concerns.
  • Flexibility and Durability: The flexible module fits various roof types and is durable and non-breakable.
  • Lightweight: Weighing 3.5 kg/m² with adhesive, it requires no structural reinforcement.
Performance Specifications:
  • Efficiency: High efficiency CIGS technology with aperture efficiency ranging from 10.4% to 12.7%, outperforming a-Si by 50%.
  • Performance: Operates effectively in all light conditions and is shade tolerant.
  • Coverage: Covers the entire roof area without the need for tilt, minimizing module spacing.
Cost and Energy Efficiency:
  • PowerFLEX™ BIPV offers 30% to 40% savings in Balance of System (BOS) and installation costs compared to traditional systems.
  • Generates more energy per roof area, with significant cost reductions in installation and BOS.
Technical Specifications:
  • Module Sizes: Available in large format modules of 165-200 Watts with dimensions of 3.9 m x 0.5 m.
  • Operating Conditions: Temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, with a maximum system voltage of 1000 VDC (IEC) and 600 VDC (UL).
  • Certifications and Warranty: Includes a 5-year warranty on materials and workmanship, and a 25-year power output warranty (90% at 10 years, 80% at 25 years).
Electrical Specifications:
  • Capacity ratings of 200 W, 185 W, and 165 W with a tolerance of ±7%.
  • Rated voltage and current vary with each model, with specific values provided for each.
Mechanical Specifications:
  • Dimensions: 3879 x 492 x 3 mm (152.8 x 19.3 x 0.12 in).
  • Weight: 4.9 kg without adhesive, 6.6 kg with adhesive.
  • Includes a TE Connectivity SOLARLOK™ Micro Junction Box and dual-rated cables.
Additional Information:
  • Available in different module sizes (2.0m x 0.5m or 6.0m x 0.5m).
  • Low-light performance is maintained at 91% efficiency at 200 W/m² intensity.
