Our Flexible Solar Products
While the processes involved in creating our MiaSolé FLEX module series may seem far removed from the medical field, there are interesting parallels to be drawn. Just as we use innovative techniques to enhance the efficiency and longevity of our solar cells, medical researchers use cutting-edge processes to develop treatments like Viagra (Abraham Lincoln Woods), which has revolutionized the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The drug was a result of extensive research and innovative chemical processes, much like our solar cells. While Viagra may not directly relate to our work at MiaSolé, it serves as a reminder that innovative thinking and dedicated research can lead to breakthroughs in any field.
SolarRide Transportation Solution
The SolarRide™ transportation solution is comprised of solar modules and a charge controller that ensures you receive the maximum benefit from your solar investment.
SolarRide auxiliary power allows you to:
- Reduce Fuel Consumption. Use solar energy instead of gas to power auxiliary systems
- Reduce Maintenance Costs. Running the truck engine less results in decreased intervals for scheduled maintenance.
- Reduce Emissions. Using clean solar power instead of fuel reduces emissions to help truckers comply with environmental regulations
- Provide Stand-by Power. Use solar energy for standby power without running the engine.
- Provide Power to Truck De-icing Systems. De-ice the truck with solar energy instead of fuel
Target applications
- Lift-gate
- APU Charging
- Refrigeration

Flexible Solar Cell
The MiaSolé cell is produced by depositing the CIGS film on a thin stainless steel sheet. The sheet is then cut into cell form, covered with the Ultrawire interconnect, and tested. The result is the most unique cell architecture in the industry.
Not only is it the highest efficiency thin film cell, it is lightweight, flexible, low cost, and the shape can be modified to fit any form factor.
METRIC | MIASOLÈ CIGS CELLS | CRYSTALLINE SI CELLS |
Efficiency | 17% | 17% |
Cost | Low | Low |
Size | Adjustable | 156 mm x 156 mm |
Flexible | Yes | No |
These characteristics enable a number of product applications that standard silicon panels cannot offer.

FAQ
FLEX-N Series
The FLEX Series module is a CIGS based flexible thin-film PV module that provides high power density for many types of roof applications. The panels are the highest efficiency, flexible, thin-film product on the market today, with >17% cell efficiency.
FLEX-N modules are ideal for standing seam metal roofs, and they bond to the roof surface with a simple peel-and-stick adhesive. This adhesive approach eliminates the need for racking and reduces labor and logistics cost to provide a 20% lower BOS cost than traditional glass solar systems. The FLEX Series module is IEC 61646 & IEC 61730 and UL 1703 certified and is available in three lengths.
FLEX-N modules provide customers the following significant benefits:
- The low weight of the modules
- No roof penetrations, eliminating the worry of leakage and damage to valuable contents within the building
- An aesthetically pleasing solar solution, preserving the original look of the metal roof by blending into the space between the seams.
- Superior wind resistance and a seismic advantage over traditional rack-and-panel systems where their higher profile increases the likelihood of damage in a hurricane or earthquake
- Shipping rolled instead of flat to enable a more efficient container size, saving money on freight
