Trust AE Supplies

We pioneer flexible thin-film solar technology providing lightweight, robust systems for off-grid mobility within Southern Africa's extreme weather.

Modern Flexible PV Tech

Resilient CIGS photovoltaic energy solution conforming to contours, delivering high output where traditional rigid modules remain ineffective.

Minimized Weight

At under 3kg/m², our integrated solar PV system reduces structural stress, protecting vehicle handling while maximizing overall energy efficiency.

Tested Resilience

Tough ETFE armor ensures an integrated solar PV system remains stable against UV exposure and impact, verified for the African wilderness.

Off-Grid Performance

Our solar power generation system ensures top thermal dissipation, beating standard panels within high-temperature desert environments.

AE-Supplies CIGS

  • Flexibility - Specialized metal foils or thin glass
  • Minimum Bending Radius - 1–3 cm; high cycle durability
  • Mechanical Durability - Superior ductility and fatigue resistance
  • Reliability - High-tier encapsulation barriers
  • Stability - Zero LID; light-stable chemistry
  • Safety - Mitigation of hot spots via blocking diodes

Other Suppliers-HBC

  • Flexibility - Brittle thin crystalline wafers
  • Minimum Bending Radius - ~5–10 cm; limits application
  • Mechanical Durability - High risk of microcracks
  • Damp Stability - Possible moisture ingress issues 
  • LID Impact - Performance loss from light degradation
  • Safety - Hot spot risk; necessitates bypass diodes

Highly versatile integrated solar PV system, perfect for specialized wearables, curved building structures, and portable energy needs. CIGS flexible thin-film solar technology exhibits better long-term performance due to LID absence and thermal safety, provided high-quality sealing is used. Alternative variants lack field validation. This technology leads in cost efficiency and BIPV integration for various mobile power sectors across the continent.
