Solyndra
Solyndra Solar Panels
Solyndra offers an exciting innovation in solar-electricity roof-top applications with their introduction of cylindrical-shaped modules, designed to capture sunlight across a 360-degree photovoltaic thin-film surface. This shape allows the modules to capture direct, diffuse, and reflected sunlight and convert it to electricity. Therefore, Solyndra panels are able to generate higher production-yields than a similar thin-film laminate or panel with the same footprint.
Solyndra’s unique shape allows for effective generation even when mounted horizontally, and because wind can blow right through them, there is typically no need for expensive mounting hardware or ballast to secure the system to the roof. Because they are able to capture reflected light, Solyndra solar panels are an excellent choice for white roofs.
