This series is based on **glass-free technology** using advanced polymer materials, which drastically reduces the weight of the entire system while maintaining the high efficiency of monocrystalline cells. Thanks to its **exceptional flexibility**, these panels can be freely formed and adapted to curved hall roofs, bitumen shingles, or the coverings of campers and yachts. The greatest advantage is the **non-invasive adhesive mounting**, which eliminates the need for drilling holes in the roof covering and the use of massive support structures, directly reducing labor and logistics costs. A distinguishing feature compared to the competition is the high resistance to micro-cracks and degradation caused by external factors, ensuring stable energy production for years. It is a product that solves the problem of modernizing old industrial facilities and the need for mobile power in tourism. Shinson offers **maximum load reduction** with an aesthetic, dark finish, making it **the most versatile lightweight module** currently available for installers seeking innovation beyond standard mounting patterns. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 20.3% matches the \*\*Flexible 400-450W\*\* median - Power density of 202.5 W/m² matches the \*\*Flexible 400-450W\*\* median - Temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C matches the \*\*Flexible 400-450W\*\* median - Ranked #11769 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### Are the Shinson Ultra Light Flexible modules suitable for curved industrial hall roofs? Yes, the Ultra Light Flexible series is specifically designed for curved surfaces — arched roofs of industrial halls, warehouses, and sports facilities. The glass-free flexible construction using advanced polymer materials allows the module to conform to the roof curvature without risking damage to the monocrystalline cells. Module weight is dramatically lower than standard glass panels, making this series ideal for buildings with limited roof load capacity. ### What warranty does Shinson offer on the Ultra Light Flexible series? Shinson Technology provides a 15-year product warranty and a 25-year linear power output warranty on the Ultra Light Flexible series. This means the manufacturer guarantees a specified minimum power output for a quarter century — warranty terms comparable to premium glass modules from higher-tier manufacturers. ### How are Shinson Ultra Light Flexible panels installed — do you need to drill holes in the roof? No, the Ultra Light Flexible series is designed for non-invasive adhesive mounting. Modules are bonded directly to the roofing surface using structural adhesive, with no drilling required and no heavy racking systems. This significantly reduces labor costs, eliminates the risk of breaching roof waterproofing, and shortens overall installation time. ### What is the maximum power output of the Shinson Ultra Light Flexible module and is it viable for large commercial installations? The maximum power output in the Ultra Light Flexible series reaches up to 450 Wp per module. Monocrystalline cells deliver high conversion efficiency despite the glass-free encapsulation. The series is well-suited for commercial rooftop installations on large industrial buildings as well as smaller off-grid mobile applications — camper vans, trailers, and yachts. ### How do Shinson Ultra Light Flexible modules differ from standard glass PV panels? The key differences are weight and flexibility. A standard glass PV panel typically weighs 20–25 kg and is rigid, while Shinson Ultra Light Flexible modules are significantly lighter thanks to glass-free construction using advanced polymer materials. They require no aluminum frames or heavy mounting hardware, making them the right choice wherever conventional panel installation is impossible due to structural or logistical constraints. ### Do Shinson Ultra Light Flexible PV modules work well on camper vans or sailboats? Yes, the Ultra Light Flexible series is one of the best solutions for mobile applications. Low weight, vibration resistance, and adhesive mounting compatibility make these modules an excellent fit for camper van roofs, caravan tops, and boat decks. The flexible form conforms to rounded bodywork shapes, and resistance to microcracks ensures long-term durability under demanding road and marine conditions. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/Shinson-Flexibale-PV-module-450W-SSL430-450W-60CW-d7dbc70b3aba.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | Cooler, heavier, +4.2 pp | | [Suntech STP-NT11/48QGSF-490](https://comparepv.com/panel/suntech-stp-nt11-48qgsf-490) | 490 W | Cooler, 15 kg heavier, +4.2 pp | | [JA Solar JAT54S40-485/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat54s40-485-lr) | 485 W | Cooler, heavier, +4.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A485-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a485-mce54mw) | 485 W | Cooler, heavier, +4.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A485-MAH54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a485-mah54mw) | 485 W | Cooler, 15 kg heavier, +4.0 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-54HG-485M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-54hg-485m) | 485 W | Cooler, heavier, +4.0 pp | | [Heckert Solar ZEUS 3.0+ 108 485WP](https://comparepv.com/panel/heckert-solar-zeus-3-0-108-485wp) | 485 W | Cooler, 18 kg heavier, +4.0 pp | | [Shinson Technology SSL430-60CW](https://comparepv.com/panel/shinson-technology-ssl430-60cw) | 430 W | -10 W, -0.5 pp | | [Shinson Technology SSL435-60CW](https://comparepv.com/panel/shinson-technology-ssl435-60cw) | 435 W | -0.3 pp | | [Shinson Technology SSL445-60CW](https://comparepv.com/panel/shinson-technology-ssl445-60cw) | 445 W | Very close match | | [Shinson Technology SSL450-60CW](https://comparepv.com/panel/shinson-technology-ssl450-60cw) | 450 W | +10 W, +0.4 pp | | [Shinson Technology S465M60NT3B](https://comparepv.com/panel/shinson-technology-s465m60nt3b) | 465 W | Cooler, 18 kg heavier, +1.2 pp | | [Shinson Technology S470M60NT3B](https://comparepv.com/panel/shinson-technology-s470m60nt3b) | 470 W | Cooler, 18 kg heavier, +1.5 pp | | [Shinson Technology S475M60NT3B](https://comparepv.com/panel/shinson-technology-s475m60nt3b) | 475 W | Cooler, 18 kg heavier, +1.7 pp | | [Shinson Technology S480M60NT3B](https://comparepv.com/panel/shinson-technology-s480m60nt3b) | 480 W | Cooler, 18 kg heavier, +1.9 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | +120 W, 18 kg heavier, +4.5 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/shinson-technology-ssl440-60cw Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
