SMIT Tensile Solar: Customizable, organic membrane structures promise peak performance under gloomy sky

SMIT (Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology) burst into the green scene with their modular wind-powered solar panels in 2008. And now they are once again back into the sustainable scheme of things with the all new and advanced Tensile Solar system. At the first instance, the product may look like some shroud with a definitive fabric element, but, in reality, it is a shading ‘device’ embedded with weatherproof and structurally reinforced CIGS photovoltaic modules.

Convenient adaptability fused with architectural precedence: this seems to be the dictum followed by the innovative company in contriving this conception. One can easily change and replace an individual photovoltaic module without affecting the whole system. And on the other hand, it can serve a myriad of aesthetically pleasing, yet practical applications. For example in garages and parking lots, the conception can act as an artistic shading cover, while at the same time powering up the vehicles with clean solar energy.

According to the company:
Tensile Solar is a system designed with the rapid evolution of photovoltaic technology in mind.
Organic PV is the first type of photovoltaic to be free of toxins and completely recyclable. Amorphous silicon can reach its peak performance in cloudy conditions. CIGS performs well in low light and is currently the most efficient thin film technology in direct sunlight.
