Flexible Cell Polysilicon

Rigid • Not bendable • Requires racking to install

Heavy • Roofs require reinforcement to support

weight

Breakable • Can shatter

Requires Mounting Hardware • Drives up installation costs • Subject to theft

Flexible • Can fit around curved structures • Can be integrated into materials Lightweight • No retrofitting required • Can be used in applications such as

consumer goods where weight is a concern

Durable • Won’t break / Resistant to vandalism

Bonded Directly to Surface • Lower installation costs • Resistant to theft
