Built-In Protection Functions This Photonic Universe solar panel is built for longevity and performance in demanding conditions. Its robust fibreglass-reinforced plastic construction provides excellent durability. • Soft, sealed edges are designed to resist mechanical impact and prevent long-term delamination. • The fully sealed, waterproof design ensures high resistance to saltwater environments, making it ideal for marine use. • The panel is IEC certified, affirming its adherence to international quality and safety standards. Common Questions Does this panel require a charge controller? Yes, a solar charge controller/regulator is essential to safely charge a 12V battery and prevent overcharging. The panel should not be connected directly to a battery. How flexible is this solar panel? This is a semi-flexible panel, designed to conform to gently curved surfaces, typically with a bending radius of 20-30cm. It is not designed for repeated flexing or bending; it should be permanently mounted once installed. What kind of surfaces can it be installed on? It can be installed on various flat or gently curved surfaces, such as roofs of motorhomes, caravans, or boat decks. The self-adhesive backing provides instant fitting, but additional fasteners like screws or zipping can be used for extra security (not supplied). How do I connect it to my system? The panel comes fitted with 2 x 0.9m (4.0mm²) cables with waterproof MC4 compatible connectors, allowing for easy connection to your solar charge controller, existing solar system, or for linking multiple panels. Installation Notes Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or loose materials before applying the self-adhesive backing. Position the panel carefully before applying pressure, as the industrial-grade adhesive forms a strong bond and repositioning can damage the cells. For curved surfaces, ensure the panel is held securely until the adhesive fully cures to prevent it from attempting to return to its original flat shape. Consider using a cable gland for a waterproof entry point when routing cables through a roof or deck. Keep cable runs as short as possible to minimise voltage drop and maximise efficiency. Before You Buy Verify compatibility with your existing 12V battery system and ensure you have a suitable solar charge controller. Measure your intended installation area to confirm the panel dimensions (1595 x 699 x 2 mm) are appropriate. Consider the curvature of your mounting surface; this panel is suitable for gentle curves, but not extreme or repeated bending. Note that additional mounting hardware (screws, Tenax fasteners, zipping) is not included if you choose not to rely solely on the adhesive backing. Consult the detailed instruction manual for wiring and operation guidance, available with the panel. Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements before purchase. Product specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer. Solar cells are guaranteed to produce at least 90% of nominal power for 10 years and 80% for 25 years (manufacturer's warranty). A 2-year workmanship warranty covers material and production defects.
