32W Flexi-Panel
– Sept 2011
The Solar Trader’s Flexi panels are made
with the unique and award winning Uni-
Solar triple junction spectrum-splitting thin
film amorphous silicon solar cells. These
provide exceptional battery charging
performance in both overcast and hot
conditions.
Flexi Panels have a long life, are virtually
unbreakable and highly reliable. Each panel
comes fitted with a blocking diode and
600mm tail lead in a potted junction box.
Bypass diodes are connected across each
cell, so unlike many other cheaper solar
panels, the modules continue to produce
power even when partially shaded. The cells
are sealed in Tefzel, a Teflon like product
that is flexible, weather-proof and durable.
With no glass and no frame, Flexi-panels are
lightweight and easy to transport.
NOTE
Please be aware that if you wish to charge a battery you
will require a suitable charge controller such as the
ASC50W available separately, or as part of a kit.
Flexi panels can be mounted on curved surfaces such as
hatch covers, decks and vehicle roofs, or tied down on
sail covers, dinghies and canvas awnings. They should be
positioned where they can receive as much sunlight as
possible. For the best performance in the UK this is
south-facing at an angle between 45
o
and 50
o
.
A basic rule of thumb is that the more
sun they receive, the more power they
will give you!
