Solbian manufactures flexible solar panels by encapsulating photovoltaic cells between polymer layers. Solbian is not the only one to have followed this path, but it is the first to have developed a flexible, lightweight photovoltaic module using crystalline silicon cells, that are robust enough to pass the stringent tests of the IEC certifications (61215 and 62730).
Solbian uses the best crystalline silicon cells from quality suppliers, however, the various polymer layers that encapsulate and protect the cells are an exclusive patented recipe, elaborated and improved over five years and constantly evolving to keep up the pace with technology.
