Material Characteristics
Power Plastic is a lightweight, thin-lm photovoltaic material that is much more versatile in application than traditional solar panels. Konarkas unique technology is based on patented photo-reactive materials made from conductive polymers and organic nano-engineered materials. These materials can be printed or coated onto exible plastic using an inexpensive, energy-e cient manufacturing process. Power Plastic reacts with both indoor and outdoor light, greatly expanding its potential applications. By integrating Power Plastic into everyday products, devices can produce their own low-cost source of renewable energy.

Construction Characteristics

Operating temperature range: -20C to 65C (-4F to 149F) Weatherproof materials User friendly design: Easily integrated Laminate encapsulation: High light transmissive polymer Power terminals: Option 1: Solderable leads Option 2 and 3: Pre-wired and available with felt backing for easy product integration

Total Energy Collected

During morning hours, Power Plastic begins collecting energy earlier. During midday hours, Power Plastic energy collection increases at a faster rate, due to our superior thermal coefcient. Power Plastic continues to collect energy later in the day, while others atline.

BackOption 2 Solderable wires

BackOption 3 Barrel connector

Konarka Power Plastic takes light in and delivers power out. When integrated into products, this direct current (DC) electrical energy can be used immediately or stored for later use.
The initial electrical characteristics are within +/- 10% of nameplate values under standard test conditions.
