Flexible solar panels are lightweight and versatile, making them particularly useful if you need a portable solution. Flexible, rollable and folding solar panels use amorphous technologies, which tend to cover a larger area per watt than crystalline technologies. However, with no glass, they are less fragile and lighter than rigid, framed panels, and perform well under low light conditions.

These types of panel are useful for remote applications. A lot of foldable solar chargers make use of this technology. Very popular in military applications for supplying power to camps and portable equipment.
