Can Hanergy's thin-film solar products only be installed on the roof?

Hanergy's thin-film solar power generation chips are called thin films because copper indium gallium selenide and gallium arsenide are attached to stainless steel films and other materials by evaporation or sputtering, so they are soft and flexible. Power generation chip products include two kinds of packaging materials, one is float glass packaging and the other is waterproof film packaging (flexible material). Thin-film solar products can be installed not only on the roof, but also on the wall facing the sun instead of the glass curtain wall. Even flexible thin-film solar energy can be directly attached to the existing roof or wall without changing the structure of the original building. In addition to more installation environments, compared with crystalline silicon solar products, thin-film solar products have many advantages, such as weak light power generation, no hot spot effect, uniform and customizable colors, zero attenuation, fire resistance and earthquake resistance, and have great application potential in the field of green building materials.
