Solar Technology International 60w ETFE Flexi Solar Panel Deck Top Kit  £315.00

PV Logic Flexi solar panels are the ultimate choice for flat or slightly curved surfaces.

The 60w ETFE flexi panel deck top kit provides all you need to install the panel on the deck top of a boat. Specially designed for the challenging marine environment, this panel has a robust ETFE surface on both the top and bottom of the panel for resilience and longevity. The panel is shaped to fit a dodger and it can deliver up to 360w a day to ensure the leisure battery is charged and ready for use.

Features:

• High-efficiency crystalline cell for “all-weather” charging.
• Water-resistant, robust construction for outdoor use.
• In-built diode protects against battery discharge.
• Salt spray tested.
• Tough and robust.
• UV light tested.
• 4-year warranty.

Contents:

• 1 x 60w ETFE semi-flexible solar panel.
• 1 x 4m cable (attached).
• 1 x 10Ah PWM charge controller.
• 1 x bonding agent.
• 1 x Scanstsrut marine grade cable gland.
• 1 x fuse & holder.
• 1 x instruction sheet.

Benefit from the semi-flexible panel's self-healing top surface

The ETFE layers give the 55w flexi extra resilience in really tough conditions. ETFE has a memory effect or self-healing capacity in the event the panel comes into contact with branches etc, thus ensuring any slight abrasions are ‘healed’ within a few hours. The flexi range can even be walked on with soft deck shoes! During production, the ETFE is dimpled to further protect the panel and provide an anti-slip surface, particularly useful if the panel is fitted to a boat deck.

Completely waterproof

Each panel is assembled to ensure complete encapsulation. This ensures the six-layer heavy-duty laminate protects the solar cell circuit from extreme conditions. The junction box is also injected with special silicon, guaranteeing no water ingress.

Superior design

There are no square edges on a PV Logic flexi solar panel! Rounded panel corners and a unique curved junction box provide superior adhesion, no snag lamination and no sharp edges. The junction box is mechanically fixed in addition to being bonded to the panel. Strain relief is provided for the fitted 4m UV stabilised PV cable ensuring it cannot be accidentally pulled from the junction box. 

Easy fix

The flexi range can be bonded to flat or slight curved surfaces (3cm curve per metre) such as painted aluminium, metal, GRP and fibreglass using Simson ISR 70-03.

Taking control

The 60w ETFE flexi kit includes a 10Ah PWM charge controller which is capable of charging 12V and 24V batteries.

Warranty:

• Solar Panel: Four-year product warranty.
• Charge Controller: Two-year product warranty.
• Please note: All semi-flexible panels will only bend from the top (has the cable and logos) to the bottom a maximum of 10% of panel length. Bending the panel greater than this, or trying to bend the panel from left to right will possibly damage the panel and also invalidate your warranty.
