A flexible solar panel 2 comprises warp members 4 and weft members 6 in a woven, non-woven or knitted form where the warp and/or the weft members 4, 6 enable the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. The warp members 4 are connected together with electrical connectors 8, 10 connected to a positive terminal 12. The weft members 6 are also connected by electrical connectors 14, 16 connected to a negative terminal 18. In one embodiment the warp members 4 comprise a p-i-n structure while well members 6 are conductive yarns. The solar panel is lightweight and easy to fold or roll away and can be used as awnings, sails, kites, tents, roofing, clothing, or as a covering for football pitches or swimming pools. |
