What is a Rigid Solar Panel?

Rigid solar panels, also known as framed or fixed panels, are durable photovoltaic modules typically encased in an aluminium frame with a tempered glass cover. Designed for permanent installations, they are ideal for rooftops, ground mounts, and RV systems. Known for their high efficiency and weather resistance, rigid panels offer long-term, reliable solar energy production. Unlike flexible panels, they perform better under direct sunlight and last longer in harsh environments. Whether you're powering a home or an off-grid system, rigid solar panels are a dependable choice for maximizing solar energy output.
