With the continuous breakthrough and innovation iteration of flexible module technology, MWT back contact technology becomes a very suitable production technology for flexible modules. The full name of MWT technology is Metal Wrap Through - a technical route to produce high-efficiency, high-reliability, low-cost, more attractive and eco-friendly PV modules.
As a major photovoltaic manufacturer, Shawllar Energy introduced the European 4.0 fully automated industrial production line, and uses MWT technology as the core technology, only to manufacture quality and advanced flexible modules.
It came to our attention that low center of gravity and light weight have recently become the trend of RV manufacturing. The impact of low center of gravity and weight on B-type and C-type caravans is especially obvious in terms of height and weight limit and mountain road driving, and the impact on caravans is especially significant in every aspect.
The RV itself has such strict requirements for weight, the demand for lightweight RV accessories is urgent, in this major trend, how to choose between flexible and rigid panels, we can make some simple comparisons.
Rigid modules are heavy, weighing 70Kg per 1000W, and due to the addition of rails, resulting in increased wind resistance and unstable center of gravity, especially when driving through corners and are more likely to be affected by side winds, affecting the vehicle's maneuverability and stability.
The flexible module is light in weight and thin in thickness, only 14kg per 1000W, and it is installed close to the roof, which greatly reduces the impact on the center of gravity and does not bring additional wind resistance, and the flexible module can be installed on the curved roof, which is suitable for a variety of RV models and increases the installation capacity.
After comparison, it is well approved that flexible solar panels are more suitable for RVs than rigid ones.
