Product catalog summary

Overview of PowerFLEX®+ BAPV Advantages
PowerFLEX®+ Building Applied Photovoltaic (BAPV) systems offer several advantages over traditional polycrystalline silicon (p-Si) systems, including a 4.5% higher annual energy yield. These systems perform better in high temperatures, low and diffuse light conditions, and at low incidence angles. They also exhibit superior shade tolerance and are 90% more efficient than flexible amorphous silicon (a-Si).

Key Features

Lightweight: Weighs 3.0 kg/m² (0.68 lb/ft²) including adhesive, which is 26% of the weight per roof area compared to p-Si.
Durability: Resistant to damage from natural events like earthquakes and hurricanes, and designed to avoid theft and vandalism.
Versatile Integration: Can be applied to any roof type with a simple peel-and-stick method, requiring no mounting or grounding hardware.
Low Maintenance: Features a soiling-resistant surface that requires less cleaning and enhances annual energy production.

Technical Specifications

Operating Conditions: Temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, with a maximum system voltage of 1000VDC.
Certifications and Warranty: Includes a 5-year warranty on materials and workmanship, and a 25-year limited warranty on power output (90% at 10 years, 80% at 25 years).
Mechanical Specifications: Dimensions vary by model, with weights ranging from 2.3 kg/m² to 3.0 kg/m².
Electrical Specifications: Models range from 100W to 315W, with varying voltage and current ratings.

Performance and Efficiency

PowerFLEX®+ systems are designed to maximize energy yield in diverse environmental conditions, including hot, overcast, or low-light environments.
They are equipped with bypass diodes for hot spot protection and have a low-light performance efficiency that exceeds standard test conditions.
