Technical Specifications Peak Power (Pmax) 100W Maximum Power Voltage (Vmp) 18.2V Maximum Power Current (Imp) 5.49A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) 21.4V Short Circuit Current (Isc) 5.82A Power Allowance Range +/- 5% Dimensions (L x W x D) 1060 x 510 x 4 mm Weight 3.15 kg Cable Length 2 x 0.9m (4mm²) Connectors MC4 Advanced Design & Construction This Photonic Universe semi-flexible solar panel features a unique 7-layer construction, including an embedded sheet of anodized aluminium fully encapsulated within the panel. This reinforcement provides exceptional strength and resilience, making it one of the most robust semi-flexible solar panels available. The surface boasts a strong ETFE material, known for its superior longevity compared to standard coatings. This makes the panel extremely hard-wearing and highly resistant to cracking, delamination, and corrosion. The lightly textured finish also creates an anti-reflective surface, allowing for greater light absorption and increased efficiency. Equipped with innovative 5-busbar monocrystalline solar cells, this panel extracts more power from a smaller area than panels using older 2, 3, or 4 busbar designs. This means more power in a compact form, perfect for limited spaces and excellent performance even in warmer climates. The panel comes fitted with 2 x 0.9m of high-quality solar cable (4mm cross-section), designed for high currents with minimal power loss, and waterproof MC4 connectors for easy and secure connectivity. Typical Applications Application Description Motorhomes & Caravans Provides consistent power for leisure batteries, ideal for discreet roof mounting due to its slim, narrow, and all-black design. Boats & Yachts High resistance to saltwater and a walkable surface make it an excellent choice for marine environments. Off-Grid Systems Suitable for small cabins, sheds, or remote installations where a lightweight and durable power source is needed. Specialised Vehicles Its narrow shape and flexibility are beneficial for vehicles with limited roof space or obstructions. Built-In Protection & Resilience The Photonic Universe 100W semi-flexible solar panel is designed for long-term reliability in challenging outdoor conditions. Its robust construction includes a unique 7-layer build with an embedded anodized aluminium sheet, providing significant structural integrity. The advanced ETFE coating offers superior protection against environmental degradation, including UV radiation, saltwater, and physical wear, making it highly resistant to cracking, delamination, and corrosion. Furthermore, the sealed, waterproof design ensures consistent and safe operation across all weather conditions, contributing to a longer lifespan and dependable performance. Common Questions Does this solar panel require a charge controller? Yes, for charging a 12V battery, this panel requires a solar charge controller/regulator. It cannot be connected directly to a battery, as this could damage the battery or the panel. What makes this panel so durable? Its exceptional durability comes from a unique 7-layer construction, featuring an embedded sheet of anodized aluminium for reinforcement, and an advanced ETFE coating that provides superior resistance to environmental wear, cracking, and corrosion. Is the panel truly 'jet-black'? While designed for a sleek all-black aesthetic, the exact hue may vary slightly between batches of solar cells. It is not 'ultra jet-black' but offers a discreet, integrated look for dark surfaces. Can this panel be walked on? Yes, its reinforced construction and durable ETFE coating allow the panel to be walked on, making it suitable for marine applications and other areas where occasional foot traffic may occur. Installation Notes This semi-flexible solar panel can be mounted using adhesive, screws, or by zipping onto a soft surface. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Avoid sharp bends or excessive force during installation to prevent damage to the panel. Proper ventilation around the panel is recommended to help dissipate heat and maintain efficiency, especially in warmer climates. Always consult with a qualified installer if you are unsure about the installation process, especially for marine or vehicle applications where specific wiring and safety standards apply.
