Flexible solar panels —also known as bendable solar panels or solar power flexible panels —are ultra-lightweight photovoltaic modules made using thin-film or back-contact monocrystalline technology. They are ideal for curved or lightweight surfaces like RV rooftops, tents, or boats.

Estimates vary, but the total installed capacity across Somaliland hovers around 60 to 80 megawatts (MW) —a tiny fraction of what the population actually needs. To put this into perspective, experts use a rough rule of thumb: 1 million people need about 1,000 MW of electricity.
