Traditional cells are made with silicon, which is brittle, and are covered with glass, which can be damaged by hail. Sunflare modules start with a flexible, stainless steel substrate with a layer of semiconductors less than one micrometer thick. Then they are covered with a polymer top sheet. So you can be sure these modules won’t crack under pressure.

Fast and low-cost installation. With PowerFit there are no roof penetrations needed. The modules come with a butyl adhesive backing--just peel and stick for a secure hold that can withstand gale-force winds.

Sunflare delivers more energy than traditional solar in low light conditions.

Cloudy days, fog, and high humidity, no problem.

Whenever you talk about solar, you need to consider shading. The panels might be shaded by trees, debris and neighboring buildings that can affect the amount of power the panel produces. Sunflare modules are better than traditional silicon panels in partial shade. Each cell has a bypass diode--that means only the shaded cell turns off. Other panels have one bypass diode per string, so that if one cell in that string is shaded, the whole string goes out. Depending where the shade is hitting, the whole panel could be knocked out.

The good news about Sunflare as it relates to power production is two-fold:

1. Our panels are better in partial shade. Each cell has a bypass diode so that only the shaded cell turns off. Other panels only have a bypass diode per string, so that if one cell in a string is shaded, the whole string goes out. Depending where the shade is hitting, the whole panel can be knocked out.

2. Sunflare produces more energy at dawn and dusk because our chemical make-up of our semiconductors produces more power in low light performance. And more power at midday when temperatures are hottest because of the low temperature co-efficient of CIGS.
