Can these panels be cut and can they slightly flex? They need to be applied to a concave circular disk. Thank you.

Greetings dear, I do not have him answer because they did not receive the product damaged cells and bequeathed a company did not answer me

They are not at all flexible, quite the opposite. They will break even at the slightest bending. How ever there is a solar tape that is much better for what your asking. Unless you can make a large multi sided hexagon shape.

You mean the individual photovoltaic cells can be cut? Yes, but I won't recommend it. You need a very nimble hand and tools to do it. The cells are thin and can break. You can ask the manufacturer to cut the cells to suit your specs because they must have a special tools for it. You can flex the cells at most between 1-6 deg. bent. Beyond that the cells could break.

no not that flexiable, the silicone blade is but not the handle and holder. you would have to go from side to side on the curve

The lengths of the segments are such that if not overlapped would require cutting. That is not recommended due to injection of unnecessary additional handling of the strips with no benefit in the finished product. As noted above, a single strip would require bending of a straight reflector tape which, unless it is stretchy, will result in kinks. Stretchiness does not lend itself to high reflectivity, so the segments that are not bent, are the best solution.

I used this product as quarter round for my curved baseboards. It worked out great! No. This will not bend around a corner. If you are turning a corner, you need to use a hacksaw with a yellow miter box (both are available to purchase at Home Depot) to cut the moulding in a 45 degree angle. To learn how to do this task, check out the many 'how to cut baseboards or moulding' videos on You Tube. That's how I learned. If I can do this, you can, too! FYI - I used moulding glue to adhere this to my baseboards.

You'll need a really big supply of box cutting blades & a ruler but once you score the tile they do snap easily. The one part I didn't like was they are VERY sticky so if you're careful with the tile placement they'll stay aligned. I hope this helps! &#128522;

It can only flex a little bit. Not very springy. Try silicone or rubber, just so you know it won't be as study as the metal.

You can cut them to the size you need. The panel is a solid molded plastic; very strong. there are no predrilled holes for screws. The only consideration you should make is the length. You need to span 2 wall studs to secure it without risking failure. That would make the smallest length about 17". Paint may be a issue. The hardware will scratch the paint off if you are not very careful installing it in the grooves.

Good afternoon, we have had some people in the past do this, and had great succses, however, if you were to do this, we would not be able to take any return. They are solid core, so if you chose to cut them, it SHOULD work. Thanks, Aaron

Hmm, I did all kinds of cuts, and in hard flooring, I noticed not a bit of deflection. Note, these are premium blades, so even though they are thinner, I believe the central plate is properly hardened and stiff to avoid these issues.

I have cut my disc to fit a smaller surface and worked just fine for me.as for working on metal...I have not tried it yet.

You can bend them about as much as a half circle without breaking them. They are a little persistent and will want to return back to their original shape though but if you can hold them down at the bend you want you should be ok

The panels are 1 1/2" and are constructed with baffles inside them so they are not solid. They are quite strong and are easily modified because they are not solid. I think you will enjoy them.

no. Each panel can only bend to the right so you can put it in circle or you can put it as a single line barrier. You can also (with a Phillips head screwdriver) remove one or more panels to create smaller sections.

They are pretty flexible, but I wouldn't flex it all the way to a circle. It might initially work, but then start splitting. At most, I would only bend it enough to make the ends meet, which would make a tear drop shape.

each segment of the panel is seperated, cutting off lower segments will reduce amps but not volts , thats all.so YES, you can cut them.

Yes,you should be able to as each piece is adjustable...ie, just adjust it so far out of the way so it doesn't slice.

From what I remember, no, they should not be bent. How big is the window you are trying to cover? The trick to getting all the 'bubbles' out and flat is to start with one side and smoothe it out as you are pressing the other side with your other hand.
