Solar panel set flexible 100 Watt shingled - ETFE

Product information

Suitable for

• Water pump
• LED lighting
• Charging phone

Product description

Flexible solar panels are flexible and light, making them ideal for applications where weight is an issue, such as a plastic roof on a camper or when the surface is not flat, such as on a boat or yacht. This flexible panel has a rhombus pattern, which ensures that even more light falls on the cells, which contributes to the high power. The panels are equipped with 50 centimeters of cable with standard solar connectors.

The latest innovation in flexible solar panels

The shingled flexible solar panels are the latest innovation in flexible solar panels. In this type of solar panel, the solar cells are divided into 6 equal parts and placed on top of each other like roof tiles. Shingled flexible solar panels are 40% less sensitive to micro-cuts, these are small cracks in the solar cells and are 15-30% more efficient when the panel is partially in the shade. In the image below, the shingled solar panel is shown on the left and the traditional way on the right.

An ETFE top layer that lasts for years

It is known that flexible solar panels have a shorter lifespan than glass panels. This is because flexible panels use a plastic layer instead of glass to cover the cells, and plastic ages faster than glass. In order to make the lifespan as long as possible, we have chosen a top layer of ETFE (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer) when designing these panels. Of all plastics, this plastic has the longest lifespan with the least ageing, so you can enjoy your own generated energy for years.

Charge controller

This set includes a Victron MPPT charge controller. This smart controller continuously searches for the maximum power point, or the point at which the panel supplies the most current. This quickly produces 10 to 30% more energy compared to conventional PWM controllers. This MPPT controller can transmit 220 Watts of solar energy to the battery, so a second panel can be connected.

Cable and mounting kit

To complete the set we supply 5 meters of red and 5 meters of black solar cable, for between the panel and the controller and which can also be used between the controller and the battery. A tube of Zettex MS 25 kit and because it is very flexible it ensures a longer life of the flexible solar panel. And a connector set to connect the panels to the cable to the controller.

Energy supply

This kit is a great addition to your energy supply for your camper, boat or caravan and is easy to install yourself with minimal tools required.
