This research proposes and evaluates a lightweight PV module concept using glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) based on epoxy composites within the module stack. The usage of GFRP as front material as proposed in this work, reduces weight by 44–74 % compared to conventional glass-back sheet modules.
In particular, flexible PV panels, which benefit of high power to weight ratios, can find application as building-integrated PV by replacing the construction materials in new buildings (e.g., roof and façades) and, more interestingly, as building-applied PV for retrofitting existing buildings and improving their energy efficiency.
Thanks to their superior power to weight ratios, flexible printed PV can be used for avionics and space applications as well as for agrivoltaics, including PV installations, where land is covered by PV panels at such a height it can still be farmed or used for livestock, and also PV greenhouses and PV fences (Meitzner et al., 2021).
This research serves as a proof-of-concept study for the design of lightweight and impact-resistant PV modules using GFRP front-sheets with promising optical transmission.
For this type of applications, the advantage of using flexible PV relies in the possibility to integrate a lightweight product, whose weight is typically less than 1 kg m −2, on a building which is not usually designed to carry larger loads.
