From sunlight to power:
solar panel technology overview
Advanced photovoltaic technology backed by experience
Solbian’s solar panel is based on advanced photovoltaic technology using monocrystalline silicon solar cells, known for their high efficiency and long-term durability. Instead of traditional protective glass, each unit is manufactured by encapsulating the photovoltaic cells between multiple polymer layers. Though the crystalline cells are extremely thin (less than 0.2 mm), they are protected by a carefully engineered combination of polymer layers and surface treatments, which transforms them into flexible and robust panels. The result is a thin, adaptable module that integrates easily onto curved or irregularly shaped surfaces without compromising energy output.

The science behind solar
A photovoltaic module, or solar panel, converts sunlight into electricity using solar cells, typically made of silicon, the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust. Each crystalline silicon cell generates approximately 0.6 volts and a current that depends on the intensity of light. To reach a usable voltage, solar cells are connected in series. For example, a 32-cell module offers about 19 V of output, while its power under full sunlight can reach 200W, depending on the size and efficiency of the cells. Since sunlight varies throughout the day, energy is best stored in batteries for stable use. In off-grid systems, a complete setup includes the panel, a battery, and a charge controller to manage energy flow and ensure reliable, continuous power. Together, they provide the essential foundation for achieving energy independence through solar panel technology.
Constant innovation, proven in the field
Innovation at Solbian is guided by real-world application. Our solar panels are innovative because they use a patented, glass-free encapsulation method that transforms fragile crystalline silicon cells into flexible, lightweight, and durable modules. Solbian was the first to achieve IEC certifications (61215 and 61730) for this type of panel using crystalline silicon in a polymeric-only environment, a milestone reached in 2011.
While the cells come from top-tier suppliers, the unique protective polymer layering is the result of years of in-house development. Beyond modules, Solbian advances the full ecosystem of solar panel technology by developing high-performance electronic components, including custom charge controllers and innovative solutions for mechanical mounting and electrical connections.
Energy, shaped around you
Every environment is different. That’s why our photovoltaic technology is modular in principle and adaptable in execution. Solbian panels are engineered for a wide range of applications, including those where conventional solar technology falls short.
Each panel can be customised in size, shape, and cell type, with options for different backsheet colors, graphic designs, and surface finishes. A range of adaptable fixing systems allows for seamless integration on different surfaces, while electrical connections can be customized, or developed from scratch, to suit the installation.
The value behind every panel
Durable, light and flexible
Built to withstand extreme conditions, from salt spray to desert heat, Solbian’s solar panel technology features a flexible layered design that integrates easily onto surfaces with curved or irregular perimeters without compromising electrical performance. This resilience makes them ideal for mobile, remote, or architecturally challenging installations where conventional panels fall short.
High-efficiency cells
Solbian panels are built using the most efficient solar cells available on the market, ensuring maximum energy yield even in limited space. These high-performance cells are selected for their proven reliability and efficient conversion of sunlight into electricity. Offering both power and portability, our modules are ideal for either mobile or permanent installations. This performance is guaranteed by Solbian’s expertise in selecting the specific cells that best synergize with our advanced polymeric encapsulation.
Customised solutions
Every module is part of a solution. Ready-made options are available, but our strength lies in adapting systems to meet the specifics of each challenge, be it electrical, structural, or aesthetic. Close collaboration ensures that the final product is not only technically sound but also aligned with the context and vision of the project.
Proven quality
Each panel is manufactured using ISO 9001-certified processes and undergoes rigorous testing at every stage. Our in-house-developed polymer encapsulation system is continuously evolving to keep pace with advancements in solar panel technology, ensuring maximum durability, efficiency, and flexibility.
