Solar panel

A pre-formed solar panel configured to be mounted on a support plane, wherein the pre-formed solar panel comprises:

• a first planar section;
• a plastically deformed section;
• and
• a second planar section,
• wherein the pre-formed solar panel has, in a direction from a first opposing end to a second opposing end, at least the first planar section, the plastically deformed section, and the second planar section,
• wherein the plastically deformed section maintains the first planar section and the second planar section relative to each other at an enclosed angle in a range between 30° and 170°,
• wherein an area of at least one of the first planar section and the second planar section is provided with a photovoltaic layer,
• wherein both the first planar section and the second planar section are formed with a common back panel comprising a honey comb panel formed of a thermoplastically deformable polymer composition sandwiched between a fiber reinforced front sheet thermoplastic polymer top layer and a fiber reinforced back sheet thermoplastic polymer bottom layer,
• wherein, between the first apposing end and the second opposing end, the pre-formed solar panel is formed as a stack comprising:
• a protective front layer;
• the common back panel;
• and
• the photovoltaic layer sandwiched between the back panel and the protective front layer,
• wherein the first planar section has a first length and the second planar section has a second length, respectively, between the plastically deformed section and a respective opposing end of the first opposing end and the second opposing end of the pre-formed solar panel such that, after being mounted on a support plane, the pre-formed solar panel has a panel height, defined as a distance between the support plane and the plastically deformed section, in a range between 20 and 150 cm;
• wherein the first length of the first planar section and the second length of the second planar section are such that, after being mounted on the support plane, an enclosed angle, in a range between 10° and 90°, is defined between:
• a planar section, of the first planar section and the second planar section, having the photovoltaic layer, and
• the support plane;
• and
• wherein a stiffness of the pre-formed solar panel between the first opposing end and the second opposing end is in a range between 100-5000 N/m.
