Co-design and integration of the components using printing and coating methods on flexible substrates enable the production of effective and customizable systems for these diverse applications. In this article, we review photovoltaic module and energy storage technologies suitable for integration into flexible power systems.
Balancing a large share of solar and wind power generation in the power system will require a well synchronized coordination of all possible flexibility sources. This entails developing market designs that incentivize flexibility providers, and define new flexibility products.
If the energy storage, solar module, and substrate for the circuitry are all flexible, the entire system can be flexible, enabling attachment to flexible or curved surfaces or integration with flexible load devices.
As a result, flexible solar cells are ideal for applications such as portable lighting systems in off-grid rural regions and portable power for the military .
Many flexible PV power systems have therefore been produced by fabricating the solar module, energy storage device, and circuitry using separate manufacturing lines, then laminating the layers together [29, 33, 119, 152, 153].
The flexible solar cells can not only be applied to portable or wearable devices ( Fig. 1 c), but also reduce the cost of transportation and installation of solar panels. During recent decades, the sector is moving away from heavy, fragile glass-coated silicon panels to become more focussed on thin-film technologies.
