# Super Skinny Solar Panels Sulfurcell Offers Minimalism With Modular Solar Panels By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-11-16 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-solar-panels References: [sulfurcell.de](http://www.sulfurcell.de) As the size of technological devices get smaller, so too are size of *eco*-technological devices. The solar energy company Sulfurcell has created ultra-thin, modular solar panels to generate energy. The modular solar panels from Sulfurcell can be added to any building as they are entirely self-contained (they don't need to be built into the existing structure). Special design details of the modular solar panels include a protective glass exterior, hair-thin semi conductor layer, 82 strips of thin-film solar cells on each module, and rear-ventilation for efficiency and cooling. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Minimalist Solar Panels:** Opportunity for companies to develop ultra-thin, modular solar panels that can be easily integrated into any building. - **Self-contained Energy Systems:** Potential for creating self-contained solar panels that don't require building integration. - **Efficient Cooling Technologies:** Innovation opportunities in developing rear-ventilation systems for solar panels to improve efficiency and cooling. ### Who This Affects Most - **Solar Energy:** Solar energy companies can explore the development of minimalist solar panels and self-contained energy systems. - **Green Building:** The green building industry can benefit from the integration of self-contained solar panels that require no structural modifications. - **Ventilation Systems:** Ventilation system manufacturers can seize the opportunity to create efficient cooling technologies for solar panels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Efficient Scalable Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perovskia-solar.md) - [Flexible Solar Film Energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heliafilm.md) - [Solar Powered Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e55000.md) - [Origami-Inspired Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sego-innovations.md) - [Origami-Inspired Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levante-origami-solar-panel.md) - [Ultra-Thin Solar Panel Coatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-panel-2.md) - [3D Solar Panel Modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipa.md) - [Heritage Building-Blending Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-solar.md) - [Colored Glass Solar Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beautiful-solar-panels.md)
