Featuring PowerFLEX Technology™
PowerFLEX™ BIPV 300W
Applications include metal roofs, synthetic membranes, and Bitumen membranes.
PowerFLEX™ BIPV. Global Solar’s high efficiency CIGS solar modules are designed for rooftops. The flexible module fits all roof shapes, is lightweight, and requires no roof perforations or mounting hardware. We increase the value of each rooftop through improved roof surface coverage, high efficiency, and excellent low light performance.

DIRECT COSTS
BOS | Installation Labor | Mounting Racks
When direct project costs are divided by its 300-Watt module rating, the PowerFLEX system offers a cost advantage of up to 40% vs other technologies.
INDIRECT COSTS
Permits | Engineering & Design | Overhead
When indirect project costs are divided by the total array power, PowerFLEX's higher power density can result in a comparative savings advantage of up to 50% vs other technologies.
