The Foldable line of flexible solar panels from ME2 Solar is a revolutionary way to charge your electronic devices. Now you can have power whenever and wherever you need it.
Incorporating solid state, crystalline CIGS solar cells, the ME2 Solar provides an excellent choice for applications that require lightweight, flexible, durable, silent power.
Models: 6.5 Watt, 12 Watt,
General:
Solar cells directly convert sunlight into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. This occurs when photons are absorbed by a solar cell which generates a voltage across the terminals. ME2 Solar's high efficiency, flexible, durable solar cells are based on the revolutionary CIGS technology. CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide) is a crystalline material, which provides consistent power and does not degrade when exposed to sunlight, unlike amorphous Silicon cells. Laminated on tear-resistant nylon, the Foldable solar power panel is a light-weight portable power solution that utilizes clean renewable energy.
Features:
Flexible and durable solar cells based on the revolutionary c-CIGS technology: a proven innovation used in space, military and large grid installation
Designed to provide years of reliable service with patented high performance flexible photovoltaic cells
