SolEnergy to represent MiaSolé in Louisiana, Maryland and North Virginia

Copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin-film photovoltaic solar cell and panel maker MiaSolé of Santa Clara, CA, USA (which was founded in 2004 and acquired by Beijing-based renewable energy firm Hanergy in December 2012) has agreed for solar power and energy solution provider SolEnergy LLC to represent it in Louisiana, Maryland, and North Virginia.

SolEnergy will sell MiaSolé's FLEX modules, which are claimed to be the most efficient thin-film lightweight flexible modules on the market (with an energy efficiency rating of +16%). The FLEX modules bond directly to a roof surface with a simple peel-and-stick adhesive. The low-profile FLEX module provides what is claimed to be superior wind resistance and a seismic advantage over traditional rack-and-panel systems (where their higher profile increases the likelihood of damage in a hurricane or earthquake), making FLEX modules suitable for solar carports and commercial buildings. The adhesive approach also eliminates the need for racking and reduces labor and logistics costs, providing a 20% lower BoS (balance-of-system) cost than traditional glass solar systems, it is claimed. In addition, FLEX modules use by-pass diode technology that enables better shade performance. The FLEX-02 Series module in particular is IEC 61646 & IEC 61730 and UL 1703 certified.
