SoloPower, a California-based manufacturer of thin-film solar
photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, today announced that a prototype of
its flexible CIGS photovoltaic module will be on display at the 3M
booth, #377, at the Solar Power International 2009 conference in
Anaheim, California on October 27-29, 2009.
SoloPower worked with 3M to develop a flexible CIGS photovoltaic module
that includes the 3M Ultra Barrier system, which is designed to
provide protection against the elements for a long and reliable
operating life in the field.
SoloPower's flexible CIGS modules represent a breakthrough solar
product. Because of their lighter weight, they will be deployable with
lower installation costs, providing less expensive solar electricity for
utility, commercial and industrial customers. SoloPower's flexible
modules will present new opportunities to large rooftop sites that
glass-plate modules cannot service due to factors such as weight, high
wind conditions, or roof penetrations.
SoloPower flexible CIGS modules are expected to be available for sale
later in 2010.
