These solar panels are almost unbreakable and you can carry them in your pocket

Flexible solar panels are made of high efficiency silicon, like standard panels, but with a new shape that makes them revolutionary.

We are already used to it. Every time that fiction plays to dream of a new technology, science goes and turns it into reality. This time it's about flexible solar panels, what you read, solar panels that bend.

We've been talking about it for a while, but it seems that mPower Technology has been able to get it and its potential customers are already testing prototypes of this technology they have called Dragon SCALES.

These panels are also made of silicon, like standard models, but make up a flexible network of tiny solar cells. This "fragmented" structure is what allows the solar panels to bend and, therefore, be more easily transported. Something impossible for standard models, encapsulated in glass panels over one and a half meters long.

Thanks to this new system of manufacture, a satellite could transport the pieces of solar panels folded to the space and stretch them to reach the orbit, a rulot could take them in the trunk and take them in the middle of the camping to have solar energy, or ourselves to save them Folded in the pocket of the jacket.

According to their creators, due to their network structure, they are more resistant, more durable, require less raw material and are more economical to install. In addition, they have a huge advantage, if some of the cells are shaded or damaged, does not affect the whole system. In this way the installation of these innovative panels in roofs or windows, being much lighter than the conventional, is simpler and faster.

Fortunately, it is increasingly common to see houses or systems powered by solar energy, but with news like this, this type of renewable energy could become a true sustainable revolution.
