When people search for bendable solar panels, it’s often because their building’s roof can’t support the weight or rigidity of glass panels. We hear concerns every day from architects, engineers, and commercial property owners. What you’re really asking for is a solar solution that adapts to your structure.
We design and manufacture bendable, ultra-lightweight solar panels that install easily on surfaces. Our technology is built to perform in the toughest environments while cutting installation time and system weight.
Let’s explore what makes our bendable solar technology the best in the world, and why smart businesses, from greenhouses to logistics centers, are making the switch.
What Are Bendable (Flexible) Solar Panels?
Bendable solar panels are photovoltaic modules that can flex to match the shape of a non-flat surface. These are not to be confused with semi-flexible solar panels, which still rely on brittle silicon wafers and soft polymers. True bendable panels are constructed with polymer-based materials and patented flexible solar cells, making them:
- Lightweight
- Durable
- Highly efficient
- Resistant to impact, weather, and vibration
These characteristics make them ideal for commercial and industrial buildings, especially those with curved, metal, or flat roofs, or roofs with load limitations.
Apollo Power: Pioneering Bendable Solar Panel Technology
We don’t just manufacture flexible panels. We lead the global market in bendable solar innovation.
Since our founding in 2014, we have grown into a publicly traded company on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, developed Israel’s first and the world’s largest factory for fully flexible modules (190MW/year), and partnered with global leaders like Amazon, VW, Hyundai, and Audi.
Our Vision:
“To empower human imagination with limitless energy”
Our mission is to redefine how and where solar energy can be used, making clean energy accessible in ways never imagined before.
With over 120 team members and a commitment to technology, creativity, and performance, we are trusted worldwide for projects where glass solar panels simply won’t work.
Why Businesses Are Choosing Bendable Solar Panels
Buildings with glass solar panels often face significant challenges.
We’ve worked with facilities that:
- Struggled with cracks and microfractures from wind, vibration, or movement
- Faced high costs in mounting structures and labor
- Were unable to support glass panel weight on older or lightweight roofs
Our Panda Module is built to solve all of that.
Key Benefits:
- Weight: Less than 3 kg per square meter
- Flexibility: Fully bendable – adapts to your roof’s shape
- Durability: Outperforms semi-flexible options with microcrack-tolerant technology
- Efficiency: 17% cell efficiency, 300Wp per module
- Installation: Fast, adhesive-based or screw-mounted system – no racking needed
- Labor Savings: Up to 50% reduction in labor time
- Warranty: 10-year product, 25-year performance
Flexible vs. Semi-Flexible:
It’s important to distinguish between truly bendable solar panels like our, and the many semi-flexible options on the market.
The difference:
| Feature | Semi-Flexible Panels | Bendable Solar Panels |
| Durability | Prone to microcracks | Shock and vibration resistant |
| Weight | 5-8 kg/sqm | 2.8 kg/sqm |
| Installation | Needs extra mounting | Peel, adhere, or screw down |
In short, semi-flexible panels may bend a little. But our solar power flexible panels bend to your vision.
Designed for Commercial and Industrial Buildings
Traditional solar panels were designed for ground-mount systems, not rooftops. This technology is engineered from the ground up to work on buildings.
We work with:
- Logistics Centers
- Greenhouses
- Sports Complexes
- Commercial Towers
- Historic Buildings
If your roof has weight limitations or your architect demands clean lines, our panda solar panels are what you need. We preserve design, reduce risk, and maximize clean energy output.
Certifications, Reliability, and Real-World Testing
This module is:
- Tested for steel, PVC, bitumen, cement, and polycarbonate surfaces
- 95% recyclable, meeting WEEE standards
- Certified to IEC 61215/61730, UL, and Broof T3 fire safety
- Wind tested to EN16002 (ETAG006)
- Compatible with all solar inverters and energy storage systems
Why Bendable Solar Panels Make Sense for Certain Buildings
Not every building can support the weight or rigidity of traditional solar panels. Flexible or bendable modules offer a solution where standard panels aren’t an option, work best for lightweight roofs, curved surfaces, or designs with structural limits.
We focus on making these panels reliable and scalable for real-world use.
- World’s largest production facility for fully bendable modules
- Partnered with top automotive and tech leaders
- Developed automotive-integrated solar for VW, Audi, and more
- Continuously investing in solar technology, recyclability, and sustainability
Our panels are not experimental. They’re proven, certified, and scalable.
