Solarge (mentioned last week:A 500W panel that weighs 50% less than glass/backsheet panels) has halved the weight of a 50% solar panel by replacing glass with reinforced plastic.
The use of 400°C plastics eliminates high temperature processes for glass and aluminium, reducing carbon emissions by 25%. This has no impact on the efficiency of the solar panel conversions.
A 206 x 99 cm panel weighs 10.5 kg or 5.25 kg/m².
Solarge plans to build a factory in Eindhoven by spring 2022 to produce 500,000 m² of panels per year.

Editor's note It would have been interesting to know the production capacity of this company. Is it confidential or does it have a solid base?
