Polyshine Solar, a Chinese solar module manufacturer, has unveiled a flexible solar module for rooftop applications at the PV Expo last month in Tokyo, Japan. 

The JY1-72HxxxPC 505-535W module series is available in seven different varieties and power output will range from 505W to 535W. Power conversion efficiency spans from 19% to 20.1%, with the open-circuit voltage is 47.50-48.70V and short-circuit current is 13.47-13.77A. 

The panels measure 2,246mm x 1,185mm x 2.5mm and weigh just 7.5kg or 2.92kg/m2. 

In a statement the manufacturer said that the solar module was designed to “redefine rooftop solar adoption worldwide”, and the product combines ultra-lightweight engineering and easy installation and has a light transmittance of more than 91% and ultra-high UV blocking ability. 

It also features peel-and-stick adhesion or strap-fastening options that reportedly enable rapid, secure deployment. It can also operate within a temperature range of -40C to 85C and exhibit an operating temperature coefficient of -0.28%/C. 

The modules will also feature an IP68-rated junction box and an encapsulant based on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). 

The company said: “Utilising patented polymer encapsulation technology, the modules achieve a remarkable weight reduction of 70% compared to traditional glass-based panels. 

“With a bending radius of 0.5 meters, they eliminate installation barriers for curved surfaces of low-load-bearing structures, requiring zero retrofitting costs.” 

Polyshine Solar offers a 25-year linear power output guarantee of no less than 84.8% of the nominal output power, and a 12-year product guarantee.
