Power Plastic is an organic photovoltaic technology made from recyclable materials. Power Plastic solar panels are designed to be solar chargers or integrated into products made by other manufacturers. Lightweight, flexible, and thin, Power Plastic can be sealed between or adhered to glass to become part of windows or curtain walls, applied to soft sided structures for remote power applications, and is easily rolled for portability.
Energy Production Exceeds ExpectationsIn a year long study, data reveals that Power Plastic produces more energy per installed watt than its competitors, and more than NREL's database would suggest. Power Plastic is proving its competitiveness not just in flexibility, lightness of weight, colors and transparency, but where it counts most – performance. |

Performs in Sunny and Cloudy ConditionsPower Plastic maintains superior low light sensitivity. This means our solar panels are able to collect energy in a variety of locations and conditions. They perform well in direct lighting as well as indirect lighting situations. |

Stellar Results Even on an East Facing WallIn a BIPV pilot project, Konarka tested its solar curtain wall on both south and east facing walls. The two walls complemented one another’s performance and delivered a steady stream of power throughout each month of the year. |

Collects More Energy over Time than CompetitorsNot only does our low light sensitivity allow us to generate more energy from more places, but allows us to create more energy over time than all of our competitors. In addition to our low light sensitivity, our advantageous thermal coefficient (ability to perform in high heat) adds to our ability to generate more power over time than other solar technologies. |

Very Easy to InstallPower Plastic's flexibility enables it to integrate seamlessly with the unique, custom designs, and this ease of integration pleases everyone. The San Francisco Transit Shelter project is one example. "The modularity and simplicity of Power Plastic made it ideal for us." Ryan Hughes, project manager at Lundberg Design. |

Portable, Safe & CleanPower Plastic is a safe, clean alternative to kerosene and other non-renewable fuels for developing countries. Extremely light and rollable, it's a natural choice for anyone who needs portable power. Use it to charge a lighting device with USB connections, and you've got not just lighting, but convenience and communication, all powered with renewable energy. |
|
Thin, Flexible, Lightweight & AttractivePower Plastic's flexibility and attractiveness lends itself to custom applications conceived by creative architects and designers. It's also light enough to be easily incorporated onto canopies, carports, canvas tents and other unique shade structures. |
