Flexible solar modules do not require specific or complex mounting systems due to their lightweight and flexible nature, they offer more versatility in how they can be installed.
- Adhesive Mounting: Flexible solar modules can often be adhered directly to surfaces using industrial-grade adhesives. This method is popular for surfaces like roofs, boats, and vehicles, where drilling holes for traditional mounting brackets might not be desirable.
- Velcro: In temporary or portable applications flexible modules can be mounted using Velcro, making it easy to remove or reposition them as needed.
- Lightweight mounting structure: For rooftops or other surfaces that may still require some form of a mounting system, flexible modules often use simpler and lighter brackets or frames. These systems are generally less expensive and easier to install compared to the heavy racks required for traditional panels.
- Integrating to materials: Flexible modules can be laminated or built directly into roofing materials, facades, or other building elements, requiring no separate mounting system at all.
