Solar energy is evolving rapidly, offering new ways to generate power efficiently. Apollo Power’s flexible solar panels are transforming the industry by eliminating the limitations of traditional glass-based systems. Unlike semi-flexible alternatives, Apollo’s advanced polymer-based solar panels are lightweight, fire-resistant, and easily adaptable to various surfaces—without drilling, heavy mounting structures, or work stoppages.

What Are Semi-Flexible Solar Panels?
Apollo Power’s lightweight solar modules differ significantly from semi-flexible panels. While semi-flexible panels still rely on fragile silicon wafers encapsulated in a soft polymer stack, making them vulnerable to microcracks, Apollo Power’s patented flexible solar cell technology offers enhanced durability, impact resistance, and efficiency. Their modules can absorb hits, shakes, and environmental stresses without significant performance degradation. Independent third-party testing (TÜV Rheinland) demonstrated that semi-flexible panels suffered 4.9% efficiency loss after hail impact, whereas Apollo Power’s panels only showed a 0.7% degradation.

Expanding Solar Energy Access

As more businesses and property owners embrace solar energy, finding ways to optimize available space has become essential. However, many rooftops aren’t built to support traditional solar panels due to structural constraints. Apollo Power provides an innovative solution, making solar energy accessible even for challenging locations like:

  • Industrial facilities
  • Factories
  • Warehouses
  • Older buildings
  • Sports stadiums
  • Lightweight metal structures
  • RVs, buses, and trucks
  • Greenhouses

Apollo’s advanced technology ensures that even the most challenging surfaces can generate solar energy efficiently and safely.

Solar energy is booming. Governments are demanding cleaner energy, and companies are seeking cost-saving measures to reduce their electricity bills. But the option to join the solar revolution is not available to everyone. Around 30-50% of buildings suffer from structural issues, weight limitations, and more, therefore cannot use traditional solar panels.

Research and statistics throughout the years show that large industrial warehouses, old buildings, sports stadiums, greenhouses, and even certain metal-roofed buildings simply can’t hold the heavy glass-and-frame panels we’re used to. Many of these structures also cannot accommodate drilling or require non-intrusive solar solutions to maintain their integrity. That’s where flexible solar panels step in.

Apollo’s breakthrough technology enables solar energy in the sites mentioned in a safe and reliable way with a new technology that has brought solar energy to places we never thought was possible.

The Growing Demand for Disruption-Free Solar Installations

The rise in solar energy adoption is driven by increasing government incentives and economic benefits for businesses. Industries and property owners are looking for ways to cut electricity costs while enhancing their sustainability efforts. However, not all buildings are compatible with traditional solar panels, making alternative solutions essential.

Some examples of structures that require specialized solar solutions include:

  • Industrial facilities
  • Factories and warehouses
  • Older and Historic buildings
  • Sports stadiums
  • Lightweight structures with metal roofs
  • Buildings where drilling into the roof is not feasible
  • Greenhouses

This growing demand has paved the way for Apollo Power’s innovative technology.

What Are Lightweight and Flexible Solar Panels and Their Importance?

Flexible solar cells make flexible solar panels that are lightweight and bendable, allowing them to fit on curved or uneven surfaces. This feature makes them useful where traditional rigid panels cannot be used. Be it a dome-shaped stadium, an arched greenhouse, or an unconventional industrial building, these panels provide a perfect solution without having to incur expensive modifications.

In contrast to traditional solar panels, which require heavy mounting frames, Apollo Power’s panels are lightweight and easy to install on almost any surface. They do not require drilling holes or reinforcing structures, making them a convenient and affordable option for industries looking to incorporate solar power.

That means companies that never could install solar panels now have a viable solution. Even small firms with minimal infrastructure can now avail themselves of renewable energy without worrying about structural issues or exorbitant installation fees.
