Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the innovative integration of flexible, rollable photovoltaic films into marine applications, developed by a team of technicians and engineers specializing in sailmaking, canvas, energy, materials, and solar engineering. This technology is particularly suited for use on sailboats to ensure energy independence.

Specifications
- Photovoltaic films range from 25μ to 65μ in thickness.
- Output of MPPT 12V: 5.4A/sqm.
- Weight: 350 to 450 gr/sqm.
- Tested temperature range: -60°C to +90°C.
- Wind-up test durability: 15,000 cycles.
- Peak power at STC: 1000W/sqm, AM 1.5G, 25°C, wind 1m/s.

Technology and Integration
The integration of aSiGe and Cigs PV films is performed in a clean room using an automated production line. The films are bonded using a solvent-free thermo-fusion process under vacuum and hydraulic pressure.

Applications
- Power Sails: Designed for blue water cruising, ocean racing, and zero-emission sailboats.
- Power Bimini: Suitable for family cruisers, these can be installed on biminis and spray hoods using velcro, zip, or grommets.

Case Study
The document highlights the Vendée Globe 2016-2017, where Conrad Colman's IMOCA 60 sailboat utilized flexible photovoltaic films integrated into the mainsail, alongside a hydrogenerator, to produce all its electricity.

Industry Impact
The marine industry is increasingly focusing on clean energy solutions, with solar power being a key component in reducing environmental impact. The Solar Cloth System is at the forefront of this movement, providing innovative solutions for energy-autonomous boats.

Contact Information
Solar Cloth System is based in Mandelieu-La Napoule, France. Contact details include an email address and phone number for inquiries.

Media Coverage
The technology has been featured in various media outlets, emphasizing its role in promoting clean energy and sustainable practices in the marine industry.

Power Bag Lazy bag or boom sun shades can be covered with thin, lightweight, very flexible photovoltaic solar cloth. Directly integrated onto an acrylique or polyester canvas, they will ensure the energy independence of your cruising sailboat. Vendée Globe 2016-2017. Conrad Colman’s Foresight 100% natural energy IMOCA 60 produced all its electricity from only its speed and the sun. Electricity was supplied by a hydrogenerator as well as flexible photovoltaic films integrated into the mainsail, and also, more conventionally, fixed on the deck. The electricity was then stored in batteries, which...
