Waaree Energies Launches Ultra-Lightweight Flexible Solar Modules
Waaree Energies has unveiled a revolutionary product for India’s solar industry – ultra-lightweight flexible solar modules that are 70% lighter than conventional glass panels. These innovative panels are transforming solar integration on challenging surfaces from metro facades to railway infrastructure.
Solar Technology for Urban India
India’s congested urban spaces demand solutions beyond traditional solar installations. Waaree’s FLW modules, requiring just 8 kg/m² roof strength, overcome structural limitations. They’re ideal for applications where industrial rooftop solar faces weight restrictions.
Key Technical Specifications
- Thickness under 3.5mm – thinner than standard panels
- Power outputs from 84W to 500W options
- 18% module efficiency with excellent low-light performance
- ETFE frontsheet for superior weather resistance
Flexible Solar Modules for Various Applications
From agrivoltaic installations to petrol pump canopies, these modules open new possibilities. Their flexibility allows integration on curved surfaces and structures with minimal load capacity.
Solar Innovation and Energy Storage
Waaree’s solar modules can be paired with energy storage solutions, like Enphase’s smart energy systems. This enables users to store excess energy for later use, enhancing energy independence and grid stability.
Expanding India’s Renewable Energy Horizon
This innovation aligns with India’s goal of achieving 60% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, as outlined in the National Solar Mission. The Beems rooftop solar strategy, led by Anubha Shukla, is a complementary effort in the residential solar space.
