FlexiSolar - Flexible Solar Solutions For Increased Productivity

Posted by star8australia on July 22nd, 2014

Of late, the need for solar power has increased and a variety of solar products are in the market, viz., Solar Panels, Solar Tiles, Solar Roofing, Solar Glass etc. While new construction allows the liberty to choose from the options, the existing building owners find themselves stuck-up with fewer options.

Problems of existing buildings in solar conversion:

• Located in a place not conducive to tap the full sunlight potential

• Buildings do not support the weight of the traditional solar installations

• May have an architecture structure that inhibits 100% conversion of their existing roof structures to be made solar-powered

• Uneven roof surfaces posing installation issues of solar panels

• High cost Engineering reinforcements required for solar conversion

• Solar installations are considered to make visual pollution, as it alters the original structural beauty of buildings

• Heavy weight solar installations cannot be considered for aged-buildings or buildings of heritage and traditional values

• Hard installation works for erection of solar installations involves significant cost element and long duration of work, affecting the usage of the Building

Solution to the above – Star8’s FlexiSolar:

The leading Solar Company in Melbourne, Australia, Star8 provides the exact solution for these issues. Star8 has “ FlexiSolar “ which is specifically designed for large surface areas. Star8 is the holder of innovation patents for Flexible Solar, in addition to various other patents.

FlexiSolar is a lightweight, flexible solar module, which can automatically flex to the needs of the surface to be mounted on. No hard installation work and high-cost engineering reinforcements required, as installation of FlexiSolar is very simple by just removing the backing sheet and applying the sticky side to your roof.

FlexiSolar has thin film solar cells which ensure energy production even during low sunlight and cloud covers. Highly-efficient solar cells supported in a unique polymer aids in obtaining maximum solar energy productivity. Subject to location, 5 KW of solar power can be generated from less than 80 m2 of FlexiSolar.

The panels have no glass components or metal backing thereby allowing complete flexibility. We offer uniquely designed flexible solar in Melbourne and across the nation which ensure that there is no visual pollution and the building retains its elegance of look. This feature ensures even buildings of traditional values and heritage can still look at the option of going for solar.

Without metals or glass components and with just flexible panels, the product results in significant weight reduction and the light-weight feature makes FlexiSolar to be the preferred choice for solar energy installations.

Another advantage of installation of FlexiSolar roofing is that it prevents degradation of the roof, which happens due to exposure to corrosive environments and thereby provides a “ Protective Solar Glove “ in addition to Energy generation.

FlexiSolar is available in a range of sizes and thereby gives enough installation choices for various roofing layers and goes well for camping and marine applications too.
