However, the main disadvantage of the standalone solar power systems is that its efficiency is much less
than the conventional rigid panels. While rigid silicon panels can reach as
high as 20 percent efficiency in converting sunlight, flexible panels can be
less than 10 per cent.
What is important to you, the consumer, is whether or not
this technology can be of benefit to you, and further reduce household energy
bills. The fact is that for a decent solar panel system for your home or
business you will have to pay in the tens of thousands of dollars, and while
this will prove a wise investment over time, the immediate capital can be hard
to come by. Flexible solar panels promise such a reduction is cost that getting
the capital should no longer be a huge problem.
Solar technology is advancing quickly and there is little
doubt that within a few years the standard for solar power systems will be with
flexible solar panels, which anyone can spread over their roof or along their
house wall, if they wish.
