6 FAQs about [The problem with flexible solar cells]

Are flexible solar panels bad?

If you have flexible solar panels on the roof of your house, truck, or RV, the plastic can get scratched by branches and trees, which can possibly damage the solar cells as well. One bad hit is all it takes to crack a solar cell, and cracked cells lower efficiency. Rigid panels have a glass covering, which offers more protection from the elements.

What are flexible solar cells based on?

This is a summary of: Liu, W. et al. Flexible solar cells based on foldable silicon wafers with blunted edges. Nature 617, 717–723 (2023). Crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells were first developed 1 in 1954, nearly 70 years ago.

Can flexible solar panels crack?

Flexible panels can take being bent and flexed, which is part of their appeal. But too much bending and flexing can actually cause the solar cells to crack. If you have flexible solar panels on the roof of your house, truck, or RV, the plastic can get scratched by branches and trees, which can possibly damage the solar cells as well.

Are flexible solar cells efficient?

Emerging PCEs of flexible solar cells in the literature. Bending cycles decreased the PCE of the perovskite cell from 21% to 17%. For comparison, the certified PCE in this study of a 244.3 cm 2 c-Si wafer is also displayed. The dashed line indicates an efficiency boundary of 20%.

Can flexible solar cells be used in large power plants?

Silicon solar cells have been successfully used in large power plants. However, despite the efforts made for more than 50 years, there has been no notable progress in the development of flexible silicon solar cells because of their rigidity 1, 2, 3, 4.

Should solar cells be flexible or rigid?

Portable electronics, wearable electronics, and vehicle-integrated devices are a few examples where integrated solar cells should be flexible, whereas using rigid cells would affect the shape of the vehicle or the drone for instance and therefore affect its aerodynamics.
