20 Core FAQs About X-SOLAR Flexible and Lightweight Solar Modules

Direct answer: The XSFM-560-T2 family is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The answers below separate published product facts from decisions that require roof-specific engineering.

1. What is XSFM-560-T2?

It is X-SOLAR’s 560W N-TOPCon module platform offered in frameless flexible and framed lightweight configurations.

2. What are the frameless configuration dimensions and weight?

2260 × 1200 × 2.7 mm, about 8.4 kg per module and approximately 3.1 kg/m².

3. What are the framed configuration dimensions and weight?

2260 × 1245 × 25 mm, about 13.5 kg per module and approximately 4.8 kg/m².

4. What is the minimum bending radius?

For the flexible configuration, the published minimum bending radius is 0.5 m. Project geometry must still be verified.

5. Can the module be folded or repeatedly bent?

No. A minimum radius is a static installation limit, not permission to crease, fold or repeatedly flex the module.

6. Is it suitable for every curved roof?

No. Roof radius, support, wind, drainage, substrate and fixing conditions must be evaluated.

7. Is it suitable for every low-load roof?

No. Lightweight modules reduce module dead load but do not prove the existing structure can support the complete system.

8. Can adhesive bonding be used?

It may be considered where the substrate, coating, surface preparation, adhesive system and project conditions are validated.

9. Is every installation non-penetrating?

No. Penetration depends on the selected mounting system and roof design.

10. Can framed modules use rails or clamps?

Yes, compatible rails or clamps may be used subject to engineering and manufacturer requirements.

11. Is module weight the same as system load?

No. Include mounting, cables, inverters, walkways, ballast where applicable and installation loads.

12. Is a structural review required?

Yes. A qualified party should verify drawings, actual roof condition, capacity and load distribution.

13. How are wind and snow loads determined?

They are project-specific and depend on location, height, roof zones, local codes and system design.

14. Must waterproofing and drainage be reviewed?

Yes. Fixing, cable routes and module layout must preserve drainage and manage waterproofing risks.

15. What can certification prove?

Only the exact certificate holder, model, standard, scope and validity shown in the official document.

16. How should warranty be confirmed?

Use the formal warranty document and contract for the exact product and project; do not rely on a summary alone.

17. Is there a public project example?

X-SOLAR reports a completed and grid-connected 2.5 MW Tangshan Jinzhou Steel Plant curved industrial metal-roof project using flexible modules and adhesive fixing. This is supplier-published evidence.

18. What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide location, roof drawings and photos, structure, wind and snow data, usable area, mounting constraints, electrical scope, destination and schedule.

19. Which configuration should be selected?

Select only after roof geometry, allowable load, mounting concept, handling and maintenance requirements are compared.

20. How can I contact X-SOLAR?
