Solar panels with glass replaced by plastic

[admin]

A Dutch firm, Solarge, has come up with an interesting tweak to the solar panels. They have dispensed with the glass and applied a plastic coating to the solar panels, making them significantly lighter than conventional solar panels. While these solar panels will cost a bit more than conventional, the advantage is that these could be installed on roofs that cannot bear the weight of the conventional solar panels.

And the company feels that is a fairly large and uncontested market.

Sounds like an interesting development indeed.
