At Photonic Universe we love high quality solar products. That's why we have developed this highly durable semi-flexible solar panel reinforced with anodised aluminium?ÿand a strong ETFE surface and made from monocrystalline solar cells. This high efficiency 80W?ÿsolar 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. The panel can also be used to provide 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.

Aluminium reinforcement?ÿand strong ETFE coating:

This reinforced semi-flexible solar panel has a unique 7-layer construction, featuring an embedded sheet of anodised aluminium fully encapsulated within the solar panel. This additional reinforcement?ÿoffers greater strength and resilience, making this one of the most robust semi-flexible solar panels available on the market.

In addition to the aluminium reinforcement, the surface of this 80W semi-flexible solar panel?ÿis made of strong ETFE?ÿmaterial which has?ÿa longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible solar panels. As a result, these particular semi-flexible solar panels are extremely hard-wearing and less prone to cracking , delamination and corrosion. The lightly textured?ÿcoating of this panel creates an anti-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 here.

High quality 5-busbar solar cells:

This panel also features innovative 5 busbar solar cells, which are more efficient than the?ÿ2, 3 or 4?ÿbusbar 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. These solar cells are also the best choice for applications in warmer climates, as they operate well even in?ÿhigh ambient temperatures.

Other?ÿbenefits:

  • Semi-flexible design makes it ideal for slightly curved roofs and surfaces where bonding is preferable (though the panel can also be fixed by bolts or screws)
  • The panel is incredibly light (only 3.10kg) which is great for all vehicles
  • High resistance to salt water environments and possibility to walk on the panel make it perfect for boats and yachts.
  • Sealed waterproof design ensures the panel can be used in all weather conditions.

The panel is fitted with 2 x 0.9m 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 4mm extension cable.

This product is covered by a 1 year workmanship warranty provided by Photonic Universe. We will repair or replace defective items at our discretion.?ÿ

In addition, solar cells are guaranteed to produce at least 90% of nominal power in 10 years after purchase and at least 80% of nominal power in 25 years after purchase. This warranty is provided by the manufacturer of solar cells.

This solar panel?ÿdoes not?ÿinclude?ÿa user?ÿmanual as it must be connected to further devices such as a solar charge controller or inverter which are supplied with a manual.

Charging a 12V battery: please note this panel does require a solar charge controller / regulator to charge a 12V battery. It?ÿcannot be connected directly to the battery.

Fitting:?ÿbefore installing this solar panel, please read the handling and fitting guidelines, available to download in the 'Documents' tab.

If you need help with installation or have any technical questions we can provide FREE?ÿsupport - please contact us by email or phone.
