This is a highly durable semi-flexible solar panel that comes in black color which is reinforced with fibreglass plastic and has a strong ETFE surface. It is made from monocrystalline solar cells and has a high-efficiency of 270W. This solar panel is perfect for permanent outdoor use and can be used to charge 12V batteries to power various applications such as motorhomes, caravans, campers, boats, solar lighting systems, off-grid, and backup solar power systems. It can also be used for direct power supply for applications that are not sensitive to changes in input voltage/current, like electric motors or pumps, and for various grid-tie applications.
The panel is robustly constructed using plastic reinforced with glass fiber which creates a sturdy and durable solar panel. Furthermore, it has a special textured surface that significantly reduces light reflection and improves performance in low light and cloudy conditions. The highly flexible design of the panel makes it ideal for curved roofs and surfaces where bonding is preferable, but it can also be fixed by bolts or screws.
The black backing of the solar panel makes it ideal for discreet and aesthetically pleasing installation on dark-colored roofs, vehicles, or mounting surfaces. Additionally, the panel is incredibly light, weighing only 5.00kg, and very thin, just 2mm, which is great for all vehicles. It is also highly resistant to saltwater environments, making it perfect for boats and marine applications. The sealed waterproof design ensures that it can be used in all weather conditions.
The surface of the 270W semi-flexible solar panel is made of strong ETFE material, which has a longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible solar panels. This makes the panel extremely hard-wearing and less prone to cracking, delamination, and corrosion. The textured coating of this panel creates an anti-reflective surface that 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.
This panel also features new generation 9-busbar solar cells, which are more efficient than the 2, 3, 4, or 5 busbar solar cells used in most other solar panels. They are able to extract more power from the same surface area, resulting in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited.
The panel has a unique black backing that makes it ideal for discreet and aesthetically pleasing installation on dark-colored roofs, vehicles, or mounting surfaces. The textured surface of this solar panel reduces the reflection of light while maximizing the absorption of light from every possible angle, ensuring high performance in low light or cloudy conditions, or when the light falls at an angle (in the morning, evening, or winter).
The panel is fitted with 2 x 1m of cable specially designed for solar panels to carry high currents with negligible power loss (6mm² 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 6mm² extension cable.

If you are planning to use this panel for charging a 12V battery, it will require a 30A MPPT solar charge controller. To view the full range of MPPT solar charge controllers we offer please visit the Solar Charge Controllers category of our online shop. Note that with a standard non-MPPT (PWM) solar charge controller in a 12V system, the efficiency of charging will reduce significantly.
