Off-Grid Systems Suitable for creating reliable off-grid and backup solar power systems for cabins, sheds, or remote installations. Direct Power Supply Can directly power applications not sensitive to voltage changes, such as electric motors or pumps. Solar Lighting Powers various solar lighting systems for gardens, pathways, or security. Built-In Protection & Durability The Photonic Universe 270W semi-flexible solar panel is built for resilience. Its robust construction features plastic reinforced with glass fibre, creating a sturdy and durable solar solution. The strong ETFE coating provides a longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible panels, making it extremely hard-wearing and less prone to cracking, delamination, and corrosion. This material is renowned for its durability and high-temperature resistance, having been used in significant projects like the Eden Project in Cornwall. Furthermore, the sealed waterproof design ensures reliable performance across all weather conditions, complemented by high resistance to saltwater environments, making it ideal for marine use. Common Questions What surfaces can this panel be mounted on? This semi-flexible panel is ideal for slightly curved roofs and surfaces where bonding is preferable, such as on motorhomes, caravans, or boat decks. It can also be fixed using bolts or screws. Does the ETFE coating offer real benefits? Yes, the ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) coating provides superior durability and a longer service life compared to standard PET-coated panels. It is highly resistant to UV, high temperatures, saltwater, and harsh weather, reducing the risk of cracking, delamination, and corrosion. Is this panel suitable for 12V battery charging? Yes, it is designed for charging 12V batteries. For optimal efficiency and to prevent overcharging, it is strongly recommended to use a 30A MPPT solar charge controller. Using a standard PWM controller in a 12V system will significantly reduce charging efficiency. How does the all-black design improve aesthetics? The all-black design allows the panel to integrate subtly and aesthetically onto dark-coloured roofs, vehicles, or mounting surfaces, providing a clean and professional appearance. Installation Notes Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and even before installation. The panel can be bonded using appropriate adhesive or fixed with bolts/screws. It is designed for permanent mounting to a curved surface; avoid repeated flexing. Always connect a suitable solar charge controller between the panel and your battery bank. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for detailed installation instructions and safety guidelines. Before You Buy Verify the panel dimensions (1940 x 710 x 2 mm) fit your intended mounting area. Confirm your system voltage is compatible with the panel's output (Vmp 24.2V). Consider purchasing a 30A MPPT solar charge controller for optimal performance with 12V batteries. Ensure you have the necessary mounting hardware or adhesive for your specific application. Consult a qualified installer if you are unsure about system design or electrical connections. Specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer. Always verify compatibility with your existing system components. This product comes with a 3-year workmanship warranty covering material and production defects.
