Flexible solar panel is another amazing innovation in solar cell technology. They are made up of lightest thin film. Few companies have made it so flexible that one can roll up it like a paper. Its flexibility is based on the material being used for building solar and protecting polymer over it. Solar cells contained in these panels are integrated monolithically, which does not require a need for manual connections between solar cells. In most of the cases it utilizes very less amount of silicon material than required for building conventional solar cells. Also, in some of the product, it is said to be free of chemical toxics like cadmium.
