There are many advantages of using portable or flexible solar panels.This articles will focus on only 6 benefits.

1. Solar Power is a Stable Source of Alternative Energy: These panels are powered by the sun’s energy through photovoltaics. While it is possible to run out of fossil fuels, the sun’s energy will be around for a long time to come.

2. Portable: Until recently solar panels have had their limitations. They were too big and bulky. Because of the increased desire for people to find better sources of energy for themselves and families, better designs have been created to make solar panels smaller and easier to carry around. Portable and flexible solar panels can be easily layed out flat on the ground or roof of your car to bring power to cell phones and ipods and then rolled up to easily fit in your backpack.

3. Waterproof: When they were first developed, the stability of the solar panels were such that they had to be protected by a special casing which severely limited their capabilities. A technology called thin-film is allowing solar cells to be used in a variety of ways. You can conveniently bring these flexible and portable solar panels on your boat and easily charge items like your Ipod.

4. Variety of Uses: A flexible solar panel can be used in a variety of situations, such as to recharge batteries, charge your cell phone, iPods, etc. Portable and flexible solar panels have been manufactured inside of jackets and backpacks. For the adventurer, this thin-film technology allows you to document your travels more efficiently then ever before. You no longer need to carry many heavy batteries.

5. Durable: Because these rolled panels are an amorphous solid, you can depend on it for durability. Because there are not glass parts, they will not break. They are weather tolerant, making them usable almost anywhere.

6. Can Be Used Almost Anywhere: Flexible solar panels or rolled solar panels can be carried and used practically anywhere, even in the middle of the ocean. Several extreme sea kayakers used this thin-film technology to document their journey. For those who are not extreme hikers and kayakers, we can use this thin-film technology and use it as well. If you are spending the day on the lake or going camping in the mountains, you can roll out the flexible solar panels on the ground or boat and power your equipment.
