100W SEMI-FLEXIBLE FIBREGLASS SOLAR PANEL WITH DURABLE ETFE COATING

?ÿ100W SEMI-FLEXIBLE FIBREGLASS SOLAR PANEL WITH DURABLE ETFE COATING

TEXTURED FIBREGLASS SOLAR PANELS

Highly durable semi-flexible solar panel?ÿreinforced with fibreglass plastic?ÿand a?ÿstrong ETFE surface?ÿand made from?ÿmonocrystalline solar cells. This high-efficiency?ÿ100W solar panel?ÿis 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 backup 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.

Product features:

• Robust construction using plastic reinforced with glass fibre?ÿcreates a sturdy and durable solar panel
• Specially textured surface significantly reduces light reflection and improves performance in low-light and cloudy conditions
• The highly flexible design makes this panel ideal for curved roofs and surfaces where bonding is preferable (though it can also be fixed by bolts or screws)
• The panel is incredibly light (only 1.90kg) and very thin (just 2mm) which is great for all vehicles
• High resistance to saltwater environments makes it perfect for boats and marine applications
• The sealed waterproof design ensures it can be used in all weather conditions

Strong ETFE coating:

In addition to the fibreglass reinforcement, the surface of this 100W semi-flexible solar panel is made of strong?ÿETFE?ÿmaterial which has a longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible solar panels. As a result, these particular semi-flexible solar panels are?ÿextremely hard-wearing?ÿand less prone to cracking, delamination and corrosion. The lightly textured coating of this panel creates an?ÿanti-reflective surface?ÿwhich 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?ÿhere.

High quality 9-busbar solar cells:

This panel also features?ÿnew-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, and are able to extract more power from the same surface area. This results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited.

Anti-reflective textured surface:

The textured surface of this solar panel reduces the reflection of light whilst maximising the absorption of light from every possible angle. This ensures high performance in low light or cloudy conditions, or when the light falls at an angle (in the morning, evening, or winter).

Ease of connectivity:

The panel is fitted with 2 x 1m of cable specially designed for solar panels to carry high currents with negligible power loss (4mm?ý 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?ÿa?ÿ4mm extension cable.

This product comes with a?ÿ1-year workmanship warranty?ÿwhich covers material and production defects.

This solar panel comes with a detailed instruction manual which explains wiring and operations.?ÿ

Charging a 12V battery: please note this panel requires a solar charge controller/regulator to charge a 12V battery, it cannot be connected directly to the battery. All of our solar charge controllers include a detailed?ÿinstruction manual which explains the installation and wiring. To view the full range of solar charge controllers we offer, please visit the?ÿSolar Charge Controllers?ÿcategory of our online shop. For boats, we particularly recommend our?ÿ10A waterproof solar charge controller.
