170W narrow mono fibreglass semi-flexible solar panel (made in Austria)

This high-efficiency, waterproof 170W monocrystalline solar panel is perfect for permanent outdoor use to provide free electricity for charging 12V batteries to power various applications. The panel is ideal for flat or curved roofs, such as on boats, caravans, motorhomes, RVs etc as it can easily fit to the shape of the roof when mounted. It is normally fitted to a roof using an adhesive (not included), but it can also be secured with self-tapping screws, tenax fasteners and even zipping.

Product features:

• Special textured surface significantly reduces light reflection and improves performance in low light and cloudy conditions
• Unique narrow shape is ideal for applications where space is restricted, or where there are obstructions on the roof (only 55cm wide)
• Robust construction using plastic reinforced with glass fibre creates a sturdy and durable solar panel
• Incredibly light (only 3.7kg) and very thin (just 2mm) which is great for motorhome and caravan roofs
• High resistance to salt water environments and the sealed waterproof design make this solar panel perfect for boats and marine applications
• 100% made in Austria to the highest European quality standards using Austrian and German components. IEC certified.

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).

The fibreglass plastic used in this solar panel is very strong and durable. Soft and sealed edges of the solar panel make it resilient to mechanical impact on the sides and help avoid long term delamination.

The solar panel is fitted with 2 x 0.9m cable (4.0mm² cross section) with waterproof MC4 compatible connectors which can be used for easy connectivity to your existing system, linking several panels together or for connecting 4mm extension cable.
