The solar panels of Solarge from Eindhoven are so light that many more can be placed on a roof than is currently the case.
For a long time, this was considered impossible because plastic does not behave in the same way as glass. But with Dutch plastic expertise, it worked. And now the start-up So large is on the verge of mass-producing lightweight solar panels. That could be a revolution, especially for rooftop solar. “There could be an additional hundred square kilometers of solar roof,” says So large.
