The Solar Trader Flexi-panels are perfect for trickle and mainenance
charging of 12V batteries on boats, yachts, jet-skis, caravans etc. They
are lightweight but hardwearing and rugged, making them ideal for
marine and expedition use. Because they are flexible and have no glass
they can be mounted in many different ways: glue them to the deck, wrap
them around the bimini with a bungee cord, bolt them to the railing,
hang them on a hook. Some of our customers have even used velcro! Flexi
panels can be walked on with soft shoes.
Flexi panels are made with UniSolar triple-junction cells, which
perform especially well under the low light levels typically found in
the UK. Each cell is composed of three semiconductor junctions stacked
on top of each other. The bottom cell absorbs the red light; the middle
cell absorbs the yellow/green light and the top cell absorbs the blue
light. This spectrum splitting capability is the key to higher
efficiency. Unlike crystalline technologies, Flexi panels do not suffer
reduced power output at higher temperatures.
There is a blocking diode within each potted junction box, preventing
battery discharge into the panel.
The 5W flexi panel comes with a 0.3m cable fitted to the junction
box. If you would like us to provide additional cabling and/or
connectors please contact us.
