Technical Overview
The SHFM-430-T3 400W Flexible Solar Panel incorporates advanced N-TOPCON cell technology, which enhances light absorption and reduces electron recombination, resulting in higher efficiency and better performance in low-light conditions. The cells are arranged in an 8x10 configuration, optimizing the panel's energy conversion capabilities. The module's temperature coefficients are meticulously engineered to ensure stable operation across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +85°C. This makes it suitable for installation in diverse climates, from scorching deserts to freezing mountainous regions.
How It Works
At the heart of this solar panel lies the N-TOPCON cell technology, which leverages a sophisticated passivation layer to minimize energy losses and maximize photon absorption. When sunlight strikes the panel, the cells generate direct current (DC) electricity, which is then channeled through the IP68-rated junction box and output via MC4-compatible connectors. The panel's flexibility is achieved through a durable polymer substrate that replaces traditional glass and aluminum frames, allowing it to conform to various surfaces without compromising structural integrity or performance.
Application Scenarios
The versatility of this flexible 120W panel opens up a wide array of applications across diverse sectors:
-
Building & Construction Integration: Ideal for commercial and industrial roofs with limited load-bearing capacity, where its lightweight nature eliminates structural concerns. It is also the perfect solution for curved and special architectural structures, such as arched canopies, awnings, and heritage buildings, enabling seamless solar integration without compromising design.
-
Transportation Infrastructure: Can be deployed on highway slopes and noise barriers, turning underutilized public infrastructure into efficient power-generating assets, contributing to smart city and greenway projects.
-
Agriculture & Aquaculture: Excellently suited for PV agricultural greenhouses and flower markets, where its semi-transparent properties and light weight allow for simultaneous crop growth and solar generation, reducing energy costs for climate control.
-
Portable & Mobile Energy Systems: Perfect for balcony PV systems (BIPV) for urban residents, and for integration onto the roofs of vehicles, buses, and train carriages. This provides auxiliary power for air conditioning, lighting, and electronic devices, enhancing energy independence for mobile applications.
