This 50W flexible solar panel is made of strong ETFE material which has a longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible solar panels. As a result, these particular flexible solar panels are extremely robust and less prone to cracking , delamination and corrosion. The lightly textured coating of this panel creates an anti-reflective surface which allows the panel to absorb a far greater amount of light, thereby increasing efficiency. ETFE material has long been used in applications where durability and high-temperature resistance is required, such as in the Eden Project, Cornwall. You can read more about ETFE and its benefits here.
This high efficiency 50W flexible waterproof monocrystalline solar panel is perfect for permanent outdoor use to provide free electricity for charging 12V batteries to power various applications, such as in a motorhome, caravan, camper, boat, or for solar lighting systems, off-grid and back up solar power systems, and complete household solar power systems. The panel can also be used to provide a direct power supply for applications not sensitive to changes in input voltage / current (e.g. electric motors or pumps) and for various grid-tie applications. The back-contact solar cells with efficiency of up to 25% make this panel ideal for applications where space is restricted, or where there are obstructions on the roof. Other benefits:
The panel is fitted with 2 x 0.9m of cable specially designed for solar panels to carry high currents with negligible power loss (2.5mm cross section). The cable comes with waterproof MC4 connectors which can be used for easy connectivity to your existing system, for linking several panels together or for connecting a 2.5mm extension cable. This flexible solar panel is normally fitted to a roof using a suitable sealant / adhesive (not included). It can also be screwed or bolted to the roof - holes for which can be drilled in the corners of the solar panel and sides where there are gaps between the solar cells. Please note: We recommend purchasing a waterproof cable entry gland to feed the solar cables through to the inside of the vehicle / building / below deck and ensure that everything is fully sealed and watertight. A detailed Handling and Installation Manual is available for this solar panel. If you are planning to use this solar panel for charging a 12V battery or battery bank: please note this panel requires a solar charge controller / regulator to charge a 12V battery.
