Why Organic PV

Design features:• Flexible

• Thin

• Light-weight

• Impact Resistant

• Low light sensitivity (indoor/outdoor)

• Multiple colors: red, green, gray

• Transparent version

• Customized voltage

Truly Green:• Recycleablility

• Environmental impact on a per Watt peak basis which is 80-95% lower than silicon*
