Brooklyn-based Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology (SMIT) released a new product of its solar energy system called "Tensile Solar" which designed with the rapid evolution of photovoltaic technology. The system equipped with CIGS photovoltaic modules like a fabric that can protect as well as providing power.
Tensile Solar is weatherproof, structurally and it has interchangeable part of each photovoltaic module of the membrane structure that allows to replaced the modules without having to change the whole system that already exists. Its amorphous silicon will reach its peak performance when cloudy. Meanwhile, CIGS as the most efficient thin film technology will be able to support in low light and direct sunlight.
The company stated that Tensile Solar can seamlessly integrate the latest technology and allows for different characteristics of solar technologies. Its organic photovoltaic is free of toxins and recyclable.
