Flexible vs Rigid Solar Panels (and Everything In-Between): The Clear, Practical Explainer

SaveOnWatts, September 19 2025

We’ll quickly explain every major solar panel type: rigid, flexible (semi-flexi), ultra-light glass-free, roof-integrated/slates/shingles, plus a nod to bifacial and emerging tech, then give you a no-fluff section on balcony solar (spoiler: flexible wins on balconies for weight and ease, but rigid rules roofs and

Flexible Solar Panels: History, Use Cases, Sizes, and the Tech Under the Skin

SaveOnWatts, September 18 2025

Flexible (aka flexi or semi-flexi) solar panels started as thin-film experiments, matured with better plastics and adhesives, and today come in two main flavours: crystalline-silicon laminates on ultra-thin composites and thin-film CIGS sheets. They win where weight, curves, and quick installs matter (vans, boats, balconies, lightweight roofs)...
