Thank you! We appreciate your kind words and support!

Brazilian research shows a result impossible to happen due to the law of physics in electric power electricity. It absorbs 35 watts of power and powers the power to 140 watts, consuming only 35 watts of power. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6upi9Ck05-xnKM.html The hope of the world is in our research, who has energy has the power.

That’s probably cuz they don’t need to advertise much. Their biggest client is the US military. Lol

Where can one perches these panels

杜鹃花一号 you know too much😀

Eric, thanks so much for your comment. Solar can be extremely confusing at times. It's our pleasure to help you make sense of it!

That would be an interesting application of our solar technology for sure!

Or skin an airplane with.

Nice seeing you here!

Canadian Prepper and you N-. Hope you're well.

Solar charged laptop sounds like a bad Idea, at day its difficult to see anything on the screen which mean you need to crank up the backlight and cost more power and heat. Also most laptop user would prefer to be indoor anyway. But a solar charged portable energy generator might be better, with power sockets, detachable powerbank/batteries and rollable solar cell films. So you can charge it in sunlight and move the batteries/powerbank indoors or use it when needed. This will not limit the specs of the laptop as you can use whatever laptop you wanna use, instead of using Factory specs which often limited and difficult after sales services.

Thank you so much! We are passionate about producing reliable portable power solutions!

Thank you so much for being a customer. We appreciate you!

Absolutely! Our solar material can integrate into a seemingly endless number of materials. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the comment. We work with all different kinds of encapsulations and substrates. You are correct that the encapsulation/substrate is essential in achieving the thinnest possible panel that's also protected from the elements.

We appreciate the feedback and agree that automation is crucial. We are always looking for ways to improve!

@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy My hope is that one day your products can become so ubiquitous and inexpensive that portable solar setups just get called PowerFilms. Like Kleenex for tissues, and Dumpster for garbage bins. I would apply for a job with you guys if I lived close enough, though I have more experience in health and safety than I do in lean manufacturing. 13 years of kaizen events have made me look at everything from an efficiency perspective, sometimes to my detriment... 😖

​@@8Jory becoming that ubiquitous is the dream!

Thank you! Gotta keep it clean!

Nice seeing you here!

Our pleasure!

Thanks so much!

A lot has to do with the fact that the manufacturing is being done exclusively in the United States and we aren't producing the same volume of solar material as say, SunPower. If you are ever in the area please feel free to reach out to Marketing and Communications Manager, Seth Hansen at: shansen@powerfilmsolar.com to set up a tour!

PowerFilm Solar that is probably what I’ll do.

Sounds good. Have a good rest of your day.

Well China is talking all the credit now since they're Mass producing these things films & solar roof shingles made of this tech. maybe they bought the patent or something, these ideas that benefit us should be supported more & given government subsided just to boost this tech overall. It's what they're doing.

Thanks so much for the kind words! We are excited for the future as well.

Robin, thanks so much for reaching out. The applications we focus on are primarily portable. Would this be a building integrated solution? If you could email me at shansen@powerfilmsolar.com with more details I can share more information about the material. Thanks!

Marc, sorry it took a few weeks to get back to you. We offer many different products that you can see here: www.powerfilmsolar.com/products/foldable-solar-panels/ if you take a look at that web page and let me know if you have any questions I would love to assist you.

Thanks so much for reaching out! Our flexible material is roughly $10/Watt. Please feel free to email me at: shansen@powerfilmsolar.com

@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy I have copied all information provided by you. Thanks for getting back to me.

@@theodoreroberts3407 absolutely! Please let us know if you need anything at all. We are here to help.

I appreciate your comment but respectfully disagree. We have a track record of fulfilling different order sizes both large and small. You can prototype with our design team and ramp-up to full-scale production when you are ready. Please don't hesitate to reach out should you ever need a custom solar design.

@Will Swift Will, thanks for the comment. Automation can be incredibly powerful, and we are always interested in optimizing our efficiency. We appreciate the feedback!

Thanks so much for your comment. I would suggest our 160W Crystalline Foldable Solar Panel: www.powerfilmsolar.com/products/foldable-solar-panels/160-watt-crystalline-foldable-solar-panel

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I am happy to assist.

Thank you for your reply. I've made a purchase. :)

Please let us know if you ever need assistance!

Hello, powerfilm. So, I ordered the 120 foldable panel. What is the connector called that fits the port in order to connect it to a bluettie battery?

We do international business, yes. Are you looking for a specific application type that we've had success with? Feel free to email me at: shansen@powerfilmsolar.com and we can talk further. Thanks!

Absolutely! We offer waterproof versions of our products that are IP67 rated. Are you interested in a specific panel size/power?

@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy When i can afford them i will be buying the 120watt model with the inergy flex system, glad to know there weatherproof.

@@stevenlawhon3695 our Foldable series is water-resistant, but if you were to get the panels wet, just hang them to dry completely before folding and storing them. Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy Many thanks good to know

@@stevenlawhon3695 Absolutely. Please let us know if you have any other questions. We are happy to help!

Thanks so much. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all!

@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy ~ yes, my design idea is centered around a mobile truck/trailer system. I envision having the panels on a roof of the RV but because of the nice thin solar material I think I can make a slide out array of panels. Thin material is a plus in my book. Does your company have a Store/link to see the product line or is it all a "made to order" business? ty for responding .... many don't.

​@@diggydice9041 you can see our standard products as well as our custom capabilities by visiting our website: www.powerfilmsolar.com we specialize in custom solutions and helping folks just like you take a product to market. If you'd like to continue the conversation please send me an email: shansen@powerfilmsolar.com and we can go from there. Thanks!

Great question. We have panels that are in the field anywhere from 10-20 years. The key factor for longterm performance is encapsulation. If it's going to be outdoors and exposed to the elements daily we would select an encapsulation that would be able to weather those conditions. Here's a post we wrote on the importance of encapsulation for solar panels: www.powerfilmsolar.com/about-us/the-horizon-blog/2018/03/09/sealing-the-deal-why-encapsulation-matters If you have more specific questions I'd love to help answer those for you. You can send me an email at: shansen@powerfilmsolar.com

In general, amorphous is between 5-7% efficient. We specialize in lightweight solutions where a user has to carry their power source with them.

Thanks so much for reaching out. We are always open to new ways of utilizing our manufacturing capacity. Please send me an email at: shansen@powerfilmsolar.com. As for hand-soldering, the majority of the work we do is very custom and smaller runs. Look forward to speaking with you!

My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. We recycle as much as possible and also will sell panels that aren't up to spec at a discounted rate at tradeshows we attend. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy What tradeshows do you attend?

The best place to see what tradeshows we will be attending is the upcoming events portion of the website: www.powerfilmsolar.com/about-us/upcoming-events/

@@glenbartholomew1058 you can see all the upcoming events we will be attending here: www.powerfilmsolar.com/about-us/upcoming-events/

Rinard, thanks so much for reaching out! If you could send me an email at shansen@powerfilmsolar.com and tell me a little more about what your needs are I can direct you to the best place to make a purchase. Thanks!

Rinard, were you able to reach out? I haven't received an email from you.

That's a great question. We do our best to ensure that the overwhelming majority pass spec, but there are always those that don't. Many times if it's an OEM module it is scrapped but if the panel has been built into a finished product (i.e. 120 Watt Foldable Solar Panel) we will sell that product at a trade show for a discount with the understanding that it is either slightly low electrically or there is a cosmetic issue. Thanks so much for the question!

Thank you for the response. I like that you guys sell finished products that sub spec at discount, that's pretty nice of you, but I accidentally said panels when I meant cells or modules. You mentioned those get scrapped if they fail check and I understand that with laminated technologies repair is an improbable topic, but do you think a skilled technician could get some of those cells operational, and if so is there any way I could acquire some for cheap to play with?

Thanks for your message. Do you have a specific application in mind? We might be able to provide samples.

Well, if they're modules that are rejected for simply not producing at spec I can imagine them still being viable for many lower power applications like micro weather stations, keeping a trickle charge on stored lead acid batteries, or perhaps even powering nodes on mesh net style communications networks, and I would be eager to test that out because they seem like they would still be environmentally robust due to the quality of the manufacturing and materials. If they're ones that failed as nonoperational, then my interest is purely in exploring the failure modes and testing procedures to restore limited operation. What can I say, I'm a field repair tech at heart, and the thought of useful tech falling to waste makes my skin crawl just a little. I would be more than happy to record and report any substantive findings.

What's a good email for you? We can chat there directly.

You can see the different panels we offer and where to purchase them on our website: www.powerfilmsolar.com. Here is a link to our distributors: www.powerfilmsolar.com/explore/how-to-buy/distributors please let me know if you have any additional questions. I am happy to assist you.

Is there anything I can do for you?

@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy the first to see sollar cell film,my be in Indonesia nothing yet

Thanks so much for the comment. Yes! We often use ETFE film.

Thank you! I am getting in touch because we do produce ETFE films!

Thanks for your comment, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Is there anything I can do to assist you?

Hey, Samuel. Amorphous silicon is between 5-7% efficient compared to 15-23% for crystalline silicon. So you are correct in many cases. The biggest benefit of our amorphous silicon thin-film material is durability, weight, and shade performance (check out this video to see how shade can affect different solar panels: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLejqLJy1NXJe3U.html) If you are looking for higher efficiency, something like our line of Soltronix panels would be perfect (www.powerfilmsolar.com/products/soltronix-solar-panels/). These are crystalline silicon solar panels backed on fiberglass with integrated charge controllers for easy connection to batteries. Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!

@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy Hi thanks for the reply .i guess the selection of material strongly depends on the application this technology is quite amazing on that note could you recommend a reputable retailer for flexible solar film preferably in a tape form thanks

@@sammy5576 we manufacture flexible panel with adhesive backing if that would work for you? Send me an email and we can talk about different options. My email is shansen@powerfilmsolar.com Thanks!

Apologies for my late reply. What product are you interested in?

We can absolutely help you! If you would send me an email we can get the process started. My email is shansen@powerfilmsolar.com

We do not, but thank you for the question!

We are always trying to increase our efficiency, but you are correct. If cost is the primary driver for a person we most likely won't be a good fit. Thanks for the comment!

Great question! Amorphous silicon is more flexible, durable, and portable than crystalline but is less efficient (between 5-8%). If you are looking for an ultra-light solution, amorphous is an excellent option. If you were looking for something more efficient, and weight and portability aren't significant concerns, crystalline options are ideal.

Thanks so much for reaching out. You can learn more about our products here: www.powerfilmsolar.com. Please let me know if you have specific questions that I can answer!

PowerFilm Solar actually, im interesting to sell in my country, Indonesia. Do you can sent us a sample this item. Im ready to be a distributor or agent in Indonesia. Because, Indonesia is The Big Market Potential for solar energy. Especially flexible solar. Thanks

Muhamad, please send Marketing and Communications Manager, Seth Hansen, and email at: shansen@powerfilmsolar.com and he will get you more information on what it takes to be a distributor.
