Nomadic Supply Company sells the highest-quality flexible solar panels on the market.

Flexible solar panels are also called “thin film solar panels.” Flexible solar panels are constructed with silicon layers over 300 times smaller than those of standard solar panels, allowing them to be flexed and still retain their functionality. The big problem with flexible solar panels is that they’re much less efficient than rigid panels. Today’s average rigid solar panels are about 16-22% efficient. Thin-film flexible solar panels are only 7-15% efficient; meaning you’ll need more of them (and more space) to produce the same amount of electricity that a rigid panel produces.

Flexible solar panels are a great option for anyone needing lightweight and portable power. Flexible solar panels are ideal for mobile applications such as sailboats, yachts, RVs, and camper vans, that don’t require large power outputs.
