Global Solar Energy expands reach of thin-film solar panels

Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 01:55PM

PowerFLEX BIPV high-efficiency rooftop solar module from Global Solar.

Global Solar Energy has partnered with several leading building and roofing companies in the US to expand the availability of its PowerFLEX(^TM) BIPV solar roofing module.

Global Solar is partnering with Beachside Solar, the largest commercial roofing contractor in Hawaii and the South Pacific region; Inovateus, a national solar power distributor and integrator; Pfister Energy, a turnkey renewable energy systems provider; and Soprema, a manufacturer in the commercial roofing and waterproofing industry. As key players in the U.S. industrial building and rooftop industries, these partner companies will now integrate the Global Solar PowerFLEX BIPV module into large scale installations.

PowerFLEX BIPV panels offer a more cost-effective alternative to traditional heavy and rigid glass modules, as well as other flexible PV products. PowerFLEX BIPV is lightweight, fits all roof shapes, and requires no roof perforations or mounting hardware. The module is able to increase the value of each rooftop through improved roof surface coverage, high efficiency, and excellent low light performance. By integrating PowerFLEX BIPV into their offerings, Global Solar partners can offer a solar solution with twice the power of alternative roof modules.

The Global Solar PowerFLEX BIPV panel offers a simple integration, large format and high-power density that create low installation and balance of system (BOS) costs. The module rolls out flat onto the roof, so it can be installed in the field, eliminating wind load concerns and reducing costs. Additionally, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can take advantage of the flexible, high-efficiency characteristics of PowerFLEX BIPV to develop innovative, integrated, and value-added BIPV products for their own manufacturing lines and market channels.
