The AE-S Solar PV Awning
The modern, sustainable solution that combines the benefits of solar photovoltaic technology with the functionality of traditional awnings.
WHO WE ARE
Awnings
The AE-S Solar PV Awning are the modern, sustainable solution that combines the benefits of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology with the functionality of traditional awnings. AE-S Supplies Awning is available from 3.2 meters wide x 2.5 meters in length. For smaller vehicles 2.2 meters wide by 2 meters in length. Highly efficient rollable photovoltaic modules are seamlessly incorporated into the awning casing, these convert sunlight into electricity while providing effective shading.
AE-S solar flexible rollable canopies are made from advanced Japanese CIGS-ETFE flexible solar technology to deliver superior performance encapsulated into our unique 12V powered winding cassette operated by key-fob, ensuring seamless and effortless operation when opening and closing. Durable and efficient with scissor arms to support the awning and options of either back to vehicle legs or upright extending supports both designed within the casing.
TWO SYSTEMS
825Wp vs 440Wp
Two integrated awning systems, each combining flexible solar cells into a durable, weather-resistant awning that provides shade while it generates clean energy.
WHY CHOOSE AE-SUPPLIES?
A Comparative Analysis: CIGS vs. HBC Flexible Solar Cells
At AE-Supplies we take pride in our distinctive products. Here is the full technical comparison behind our choice of CIGS technology.
Flexibility
CIGS significantly outperforms HBC in flexibility and mechanical robustness.
Product Reliability & Lifetime
CIGS demonstrates superior long-term stability, especially due to absence of LID and inherent hot-spot resistance — though it demands high-quality encapsulation. HBC flexible variants lack sufficient lifetime validation.
Cost Analysis
CIGS holds a clear advantage in manufacturability and cost scalability; HBC flexible cells remain in R&D/pilot stages with high costs.
