Market Overview  

The manufacturing, distribution, and implementation of photovoltaic modules designed for partial bendability, which bridge the gap between rigid crystalline silicon panels and fully malleable thin-film alternatives, are all included in the semi-flexible solar panels market. These panels increase solar accessibility in specialized technologies by achieving efficiencies of 19–22.5% and allowing installations on curved surfaces like maritime boats, RVs, and non-planar rooftops. Typically, they use materials like ETFE encapsulation and monocrystalline cells. The market caters to a variety of industries, including off-grid energy solutions, building-integrated photovoltaics, portable power systems, automotive, marine, and recreational vehicles. For instance, in January 2025, at CES 2025, Anker announced the Solix Solar Beach Umbrella, which comes with semi-flexible solar panels made of perovskite cells, capable of providing up to 100 W of power through USB-C and XT-60 ports around the world. The market is expanding as a result of the increased need for flexible, lightweight, and portable solar solutions for off-grid, commercial, and residential uses. In the market for semi-flexible solar panels, artificial intelligence is increasing production and efficiency by automating quality control, simplifying design, and lowering manufacturing faults.
