The modules are based on mono-crystalline silicon Sliver cells. Tests have been developed to specifically test flexible modules, including their flexibility, abrasion resistance, power to weight ratio, and partial shading. The results of a 0.1 m2 module with 13 W power output and 178 W/kg are presented.Keywords: Flexible modules; Partial shading; Photovoltaic modules; Power out put; Power-to-weight ratios; Photovoltaic effects201010.1109/PVSC.2011.61866262016-02-24
