Flexible Solar Panels

This project was born after the start of the solar car project for the Bridgestone competition. This project also has the goal of generating innovative technologies to solve the problems of renewable energy.

Flexible solar panels are quite different from the rigid, rectangular, glass-encased standard solar panels typically found on rooftops. Rather, flexible solar panels come in all shapes and sizes, and are expected to be used in a greater number of situations than standard panels— think of just about anywhere where converting sunlight to electricity is financially worth it.

This project is projected to be completed within the next year, meeting the agenda of the Bridgestone race solar car project.
