SoloPanel SFX1-i3 Series Features the photovoltaic solar cell that changes the energy equation SoloPower’s nextgeneration CIGS technology and innovative thinfilm manufacturing techniques enable mass production of highefficiency solar cells at a fraction of the cost of fabricating traditional siliconbased cells. The SoloPanel SFX1Series converts sunlight into solar energy with higher power density than competing thin film technologies. The company’s unique manufacturing process combines a capitalefficient and scalable production capacity with a commitment to environmental vigilance. And SoloPower’s breakthrough electroplated flexible CIGS photovoltaic cell brings to life the dream of almost endlessly replenishable solar energy in the form of lightweight flexible modules. The flexible approach to renewable energy Our proprietary electrodeposition manufacturing system utilizes a low cost, rolltoroll process with very thin films. This enables us to produce very thin, flexible solar cells, substantially shrinking our environmental footprint. Because our solar cells and panels are designed and manufactured to generate clean electricity for over 25 years, they will help the world’s population avoid decades of continued dependence on fossil fuels, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that can cause catastrophic climate change. www.solopower.com Designed and manufactured in California Key Features One hundred and eighty (180) high efficiency CIGS solar cells optimize panel performance Flexible lightweight form factor enables ease of installation and avoids roof penetration Weather proof front sheet, sealed junction box and protective backsheet provide a reliable moisture barrier Each panel undergoes visual and electrical performance verification and testing at SoloPower prior to shipping Multiple, application dependent, lightweight mounting options and an IP65 Jbox with locking quick connects allow ease of installation into most system configurations Designed for minimum power loss due to shadowing, ensuring maximum system performance Manufactured in a highly automated stateoftheart plant Comes with a 5year limited warranty for defects in materials and workmanship 25year power output warranty guarantees energy output at 90% of nominal rated power for first 10 years, and 80% through year 25 PRODUCT DATA SHEET SFX1

SoloPanel SFX1-i3 Series 

Features the photovoltaic solar cell that changes the energy equation 

  

 

   SoloPower’s  next‐generation  CIGS  technology  and innovative  thin‐film  manufacturing  techniques  enable mass  production  of  high‐efficiency  solar  cells  at  a fraction  of  the  cost  of  fabricating  traditional  silicon‐based cells. The SoloPanel SFX1‐Series converts sunlight into  solar  energy  with  higher  power  density  than competing thin film technologies. The company’s unique manufacturing process combines a capital‐efficient and scalable production capacity with a  commitment  to  environmental  vigilance.  And SoloPower’s  breakthrough  electroplated  flexible  CIGS photovoltaic  cell  brings  to  life  the  dream  of  almost endlessly replenishable solar energy in the form of light‐weight flexible modules.   The flexible approach to renewable energy  Our  proprietary  electrodeposition  manufacturing system utilizes a  low cost, roll‐to‐roll process with very thin films. This enables us to produce very thin, flexible solar  cells,  substantially  shrinking  our  environmental footprint.  Because  our  solar  cells  and  panels  are designed  and  manufactured  to  generate  clean electricity  for over 25 years,  they will help  the world’s population avoid decades of continued dependence on fossil fuels, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that can cause catastrophic climate change.  www.solopower.com Designed and manufactured in California 

Key Features   One hundred and eighty (180) high 

efficiency CIGS solar cells optimize panel performance  

Flexible light‐weight form factor enables ease of installation and avoids roof penetration  

Weather proof  front sheet, sealed junction box and protective backsheet provide a reliable moisture barrier  

Each panel undergoes visual and electrical performance verification and testing at SoloPower prior to shipping  

Multiple, application dependent, lightweight mounting options and an IP65 J‐box with locking quick connects allow ease of installation into most system configurations  

Designed for minimum power loss due to shadowing, ensuring maximum system performance  

Manufactured in a highly automated state‐of‐the‐art plant  

Comes with a 5‐year limited warranty for defects in materials and workmanship   

25‐year power output warranty guarantees energy output at 90% of nominal rated power for first 10 years, and 80% through year 25
