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

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

Textured fiberglass solar panels: Highly durable semi-flexible solar panel reinforced with fiberglass plastic and a strong ETFE surface, made from monocrystalline solar cells. This high-efficiency 100W solar panel is perfect for permanent outdoor use to provide free electricity for charging 12V batteries and power various applications. These applications include motorhomes, caravans, campers, boats, 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 creates 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 ETFE material, which has a 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 coating of this panel creates an anti-reflective surface, allowing 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 are required, such as in the Eden Project, Cornwall. You can read more about ETFE and its benefits here.

- High-quality 9-busbar solar cells: 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 and are able to extract more power from the same surface area.

Please take note of the following information:

This solar panel is designed to be compact, making it great for limited space applications. It has a textured surface to reduce light reflection and increase light absorption from all angles, ensuring high performance even in low light, cloudy conditions, or when the light falls at an angle (such as in the morning, evening, or winter). The panel comes with 2 x 1m cables specifically designed for solar panels and fitted with waterproof MC4 connectors for easy connectivity to your existing system or for linking several panels together. The specifications for this solar panel are as follows:

- Peak power: 100W

- Maximum power voltage: 18.2V

- Maximum power current: 5.50A

- Open circuit voltage: 21.1V

- Short circuit current: 5.82A

- Dimensions: 990 x 540 x 2 mm

- Weight: 1.90 kg

The product includes a 1-year workmanship warranty covering material and production defects and a detailed instruction manual. Please note that to charge a 12V battery, a solar charge controller/regulator is required, as the panel cannot be connected directly to the battery. Detailed installation and wiring instructions are included with our solar charge controllers. We also offer a full range of solar charge controllers on our online shop.

For boats, we recommend our 10A waterproof solar charge controller. If you need assistance with installation or have technical questions, please feel free to contact us by email or phone.
