Plastic panel photovoltaic industry
Three companies are swapping out aluminum and glass in favor of plastic to save weight and add flexibility. We look at the pros and cons. Three manufacturers, Merlin Solar, Solarge, and LG, are making a move away from the standard aluminum and glass solar panel in a bid to lower weight, emissions, and cost.

Plastic for solar panels? Three companies are swapping out aluminum and glass in favor of plastic to save weight and add flexibility. We look at the pros and cons.
We have developed organic photovoltaic modules embedded into plastic parts through high throughput injection molding. We have successfully adapted the industrial plastic processing conditions to obtain in-mold modules with neglectable efficiency losses and a remarkable process yield close to 90%.
Solarge’s PFAS-free solar panels are manufactured in cooperation with SABIC, a global leader in the plastics industry. With the elimination of most toxic chemicals, such as antimony and PFAS.
South Korean company LG Chem has developed a new plastic material that it says could replace the metal frame of a PV module, making it much lighter. The company says it has already secured mass.
