With an efficiency gain of nearly 1% in just six months, SoloPower has had certified a new, wider flexible CIGS module that is capable of producing up to 260Wp and has 12.1% aperture efficiency, as measured by NREL. The SFX3 module is claimed to be the most powerful flexible CIGS module currently in production. SoloPower says it has the first and only flexible CIGS products certified to both UL 1703 and IEC (61646 and 61730) standards.

“Achieving the certification of both our wide and narrow modules to the necessary UL and IEC standards allows us to provide efficient and cost-effective solutions to a broad range of market channels and geographies,” commented SoloPower CEO Tim Harris. “With the SFX3 module passing the same certification standards as the SFX1 recently did, we can deliver powerful, lightweight products optimized for use on both low-slope and standing-seam metal roof systems in Europe, North America, and Asia.”
 
SoloPower said it was in the process of shipping both SFX1 and SFX3 modules to customers in Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Japan, and Korea, as well as to multiple locations in North America.
