IEC lays ground for flexible silicon solar module standards

In its second monthly column for pv magazine, the IEC highlights the research on flexible crystalline silicon solar cells led by researcher Zhengxin Liu, the Vice Chair of IEC Technical Committee 82, which prepares standards for solar PV energy systems. Although crystalline silicon solar cells possess many merits, including their material abundance, high power conversion efficiency and operating stability, as well as their mature production process, it has always been taken for granted that they cannot be used in flexible applications, because of the brittle characteristics of crystalline silicon ...
