Custom Solar Panels — Italian Manufacturer for Businesses and Individuals
We design and manufacture custom photovoltaic modules in any shape, size and power output. From SunPower back-contact cells to ETFE, glass or PET materials — every panel is engineered around your specific project, with full Made in Italy production.
Standard solar panels come in fixed sizes and shapes. When your project has architectural constraints, irregular spaces, aesthetic requirements or specific technical specs, the answer is not to compromise: it's to partner with a manufacturer who can design and build to your exact needs.

Standard vs. Custom Solar Panels: When You Need Customization
A standard solar panel typically measures 1650×1000mm or 1722×1134mm, with rated output between 350W and 600W. These work well for regular rooftops and conventional residential installations.
When your project requires different dimensions — irregular space, specific shape, aesthetic constraints, architectural integration, or particular technical requirements — the solution is a custom solar panel.
MR WATT designs photovoltaic modules from 50×50mm up to 2000×1000mm, in any geometric shape (rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, trapezoidal, curved or free-form), with any voltage and frontsheet/backsheet material (flexible ETFE, tempered glass or PET).
Why Choose MR WATT for Custom Solar Panel Manufacturing
Any geometric shape
We manufacture photovoltaic modules in rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, trapezoidal, curved or free-form shapes. Professional CAD software ensures precision cutting on glass and composite materials. Learn more about our laser solar cell cutting process.
Custom colors and aesthetic design
Colored solar cells, multiple transparency grades, custom backsheets. Your panels become architectural elements as much as technical ones, blending seamlessly into your design without compromises. See our colored solar modules for architectural integration.
High-efficiency SunPower back-contact cells
Certified monocrystalline and polycrystalline cells, with SunPower back-contact technology reaching up to 24.5% efficiency — among the highest on the market. Maximum energy yield per square centimeter.
Made in Italy production
Every panel is designed and assembled in Italy with traceable processes and strict quality control. No intermediaries — full control over quality from start to finish.
End-to-end technical support
We support you from initial consultation through prototyping to series production. Our technical team speaks the language of engineering offices and professional designers.
Rapid prototyping
Before series production we build a physical prototype to verify dimensions, power output and integration with your product or structure. Zero surprises, maximum precision.
What We Customize
- Frontsheet/backsheet materials: ETFE, tempered glass or PET depending on weight, durability and light transmission requirements.
- Cell technology: SunPower high-efficiency back-contact, monocrystalline or polycrystalline.
- Shapes and dimensions: rectangular, square, round, triangular or free-form, from mini (50×50mm) up to large-format modules (2000×1000mm).
- Frame: framed or frameless, depending on mechanical and installation constraints.
- Electrical connections: cables, connectors and junction box to customer specifications.
Applications of Custom Solar Modules
Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)
Facades, roofing, bioclimatic pergolas, non-standard roofs. Our panels integrate seamlessly without altering building design, even in heritage zones or areas with landscape restrictions. Ideal for architects who refuse aesthetic compromises.
Marine and Mobility
Flexible or rigid custom panels for boats, yachts, motorhomes, campers, vans and electric vehicles. Tailored shapes that fit perfectly to curved surfaces and limited spaces. RINA-compatible options available for marine applications.
Industrial Devices and IoT
Sensors, monitoring systems, autonomous electronic devices, industrial equipment. A custom solar module guarantees energy continuity without complex cabling or oversized batteries. See our OEM solar modules for IoT, wearables and e-mobility.
Agrivoltaics and Greenhouses
Panels with various transparency grades for greenhouses and agricultural structures that need to let through enough light for crops while still generating clean renewable electricity.
Aerospace and Solar Aviation
Custom photovoltaic modules for solar drones, RC aircraft, lightweight ground vehicles and university research projects. Reference project: DR1 v1.0, a solar-powered radio-controlled aircraft built in 2017 using SunPower Gen3 cells.
Urban Furniture and Signage
Parking meters, vending machines, advertising panels, traffic signage. Wherever solar power is needed without grid connection, panel shape matters as much as function.
Portfolio and Case Studies
MR WATT has a solid track record in designing unique photovoltaic modules for demanding sectors: from solar aviation to BIPV, from marine to industrial IoT. Notable projects: the DR1 v1.0 solar-powered RC aircraft (SunPower Gen3 cells), the wildlife deterrent device developed with the University of Castilla-La Mancha (custom oval module), colored panels for historic town centers and BIPV on heritage buildings, flexible ETFE modules for boat manufacturers in Versilia and the Adriatic coast.

Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Solar Panels
How much does a custom solar panel cost?
Cost depends on dimensions, materials (ETFE, glass or PET), cell type (SunPower, monocrystalline, polycrystalline) and order quantity. We provide a free personalized quote within 24-48 hours, no obligation.
What shapes and dimensions can I order?
Any shape: rectangular, square, triangular, hexagonal, trapezoidal, curved or free-form. Dimensions from 50×50mm mini panels for IoT devices to 2000×1000mm large modules.
What's the difference between standard and custom solar panels?
Standard panels have fixed dimensions (typically 1650×1000mm) and don't adapt to irregular spaces or specific technical requirements. MR WATT custom panels are designed around your real needs, guaranteeing maximum efficiency without compromises.
How long does it take to produce a custom solar panel?
Typically: 24-48 hours for consultation and quote, 5-7 business days for prototyping, 2-4 weeks from order confirmation for series production. Contact us directly for urgent requirements.
Can you produce colored or transparent solar panels?
Yes. We produce colored solar panels with special photovoltaic cells, and modules with various transparency grades — ideal for BIPV architectural integration, greenhouses and heritage zone projects.
Do you work on small quantities or only large series?
Both. Single prototypes and series production of thousands. For individuals we handle single-panel orders. For businesses we offer prototyping before series, allowing design validation.
What certifications do your custom solar panels have?
Certified materials and verified-quality cells. For B2B series production, specific certifications can be requested (IEC 61215, IEC 61730, RINA for marine, CE marking) based on target market.
Do you ship custom solar panels internationally?
Yes, throughout the European Union with insured courier. For non-EU orders we evaluate logistics case by case.
