Greendix has released five innovative shapes of solar panels following the successful launch of the leaf-shaped solar panel last month. Sonelis Technologies handles supply and distribution in the Americas (N. and S. America) for this new exciting product line.
Greendix’s debuts these five different shapes to showcase the potential of its proprietary technology to create custom-shaped solar panels. These panels are also available in a variety of colors, so designers are not longer restricted by the usual rectangular shapes and dark colors. These panels are as efficient as the regular square shaped panels (over 13%).
Joseph Lin, President of Greendix commented, “We hope that these different shapes can help designers and users think outside the box and not limit themselves to the conventional square-shaped solar panels.”
Michael Yu, Director of Technology at Sonelis Technologies added, “These new shapes will allow designers to come up with original designs that will make solar panels the must have design element in a variety of products.”

I have this idea. If there is a leaf shaped solar panel, why doesn’t someone just design a tree of green solar panels. They have cell towers in tree shapes so how about you make a tree out of solar panels so people can put them in say a back yard and create power that way. They will still have shade from a tree but not mess and get power in return.

Curious… why can’t for instance, 2 panels be mounted vertically on a pole, and angled towards East/West to catch all the sun’s energy? In places where space is limited and sunshine is a rarity rather than a given, wouldn’t that make more sense? Perhaps using a low powered motor to keep 3 vertical panels facing the sun.
