Handling and Fitting Manual for semi-flexible solar panels EFLX series
Page 4 of 12
Never attempt to test the “local flexibility” of the solar panel by bending the material of
the solar panel near the edges or in the corners. This can easily cause solar cell cracks.
When handling or installing the solar panel, ensure that your grip does not pinch the
solar panel in such a way that causes the panel to bend.
III.
Maximum curvature
This solar panel is
semi-flexible
; which means that it can be curved to a certain degree,
but cannot be rolled up or folded.
The maximum allowed curvature for this solar panel corresponds with the
minimum
bending radius
of 2000 mm. In other words, once curved, the solar panel must follow
part of a hypothetical circle with a radius of
at least
2m. This implies that the solar panel
curve will be distributed uniformly across the full length of the solar panel (avoiding
“sharp” bending angles or corners)
