200W Black Reinforced semi-flexible solar panel with round rear junction box and 3m cable, with durable ETFE coating

At Photonic Universe we love high quality solar products. That's why we have developed this highly durable black semi-flexible solar panel reinforced with anodised aluminiumand a strong ETFE surface and made from monocrystalline solar cells. This model also features a rear-fitted circular junction box and 3m dual core cable. This high efficiency 200Wsolar panel is perfect for permanent outdoor use to provide free electricity for charging 12V batteries to power various applications, such as in a motorhome, caravan, camper, boat, or for solar lighting systems, off-grid, and back up solar power systems. The panel can also be used to provide 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.

Aluminium reinforcementand strong ETFE coating:

This reinforced semi-flexible solar panel has a unique 7-layer construction, featuring an embedded sheet of anodised aluminium fully encapsulated within the solar panel. This additional reinforcementoffers greater strength and resilience, making this one of the most robust semi-flexible solar panels available on the market.

In addition to the aluminium reinforcement, the surface of this 200W semi-flexible solar panelis made of strong ETFEmaterial which hasa 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 texturedcoating of this panel creates an anti-reflective surfacewhich allows 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 is required, such as in the Eden Project, Cornwall.

High quality 5-busbar solar cells:

This panel also features innovative 5 busbar solar cells, which are more efficient than the2, 3 or 4busbar solar cells used in most other solar panels, and are able to extract more power from the same surface area. This results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited. These solar cells are also the best choice for applications in warmer climates, as they operate well even inhigh ambient temperatures.

Simple, professional installation:

This particular model features the junction box and cable on the rear side of the panel to create a completely level surface and professional finish after installation. Unlike other solar panels, the junction box on this solar panel is a circular shape with only one dual core cable (3m length) attached, allowing forsimplified installation.Please note: in order for this panel to be flush-mounted, a recess must be cut in to the roof/surface.

This solar panel has a unique black backing,making this solar panelideal for discreet andaesthetically pleasing installation on dark coloured roofs, vehiclesor mounting surfaces. Please note that this solar panel is not 'ultra jet-black' - the exacthue may vary marginally from panel to panel, depending on the batch of solar cells.

Otherbenefits:

• Semi-flexible design makes it ideal for slightly curved roofs and surfaces where bonding is preferable (though the panel can also be fixed by bolts or screws)
• The panel is incredibly light (only 5.85kg) which is great for all vehicles
• High resistance to salt water environment (junction box and cables underneath are protected from contact with water) and possibility to walk on the panel make it perfect for boats and yachts
• Sealed waterproof design ensures the panel can be used in all weather conditions
• Junction box on the back allows for a smooth andlevel surface, free of trip hazards and unsightly cables. Round shape for easy fitting.
• Fitted with a singlelength of high quality3m dual core cable for easy installation and wiring
