Technical Specifications Parameter Value Power (Pmax) 10W Dimensions (L x W x D) 380 x 250 x 4mm Weight 0.56 Kg Amp Hours per Day (A) 3.42 Ah Voltage at Max Power (Vmp) 17.6 VDC Current at Max Power (Imp) 0.57 A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) 21.9 V Short Circuit Current (Isc) 0.61 A Panel Design & Construction The PV Logic Flexi panel is engineered with a multi-layer laminate construction to ensure long-term performance in demanding environments. Its six-layer heavy-duty laminate protects the solar cell circuit from extreme conditions, while the junction box is injected with special silicone to guarantee no water ingress. The panel features rounded corners and a unique curved junction box for superior adhesion and a snag-free profile. Strain relief is provided for the pre-fitted 4-metre UV stabilised PV cable, preventing accidental dislodgement. The ETFE top layer is dimpled during production, enhancing both protection and providing an anti-slip surface, which is particularly beneficial for marine applications. This robust design ensures the panel can withstand harsh outdoor conditions. Typical Applications Application Description Campervans & Motorhomes Ideal for trickle charging leisure batteries and powering small appliances on the go. Marine Vessels Suitable for boat decks and buoys due to its waterproof, anti-slip, and durable ETFE surface. Trailer Tents & Caravans Provides supplementary power for lighting and low-power electronics. Small Off-Grid Systems Perfect for powering electric fences or other remote, low-power consumption projects. Built-In Protection Functions The Solar Technology 10W Flexi Solar Panel is designed with robust features to ensure longevity and safety. Its ETFE top layer provides exceptional resistance to environmental factors and has a self-healing capacity for minor surface abrasions. The panel's fully encapsulated construction and silicon-injected junction box prevent water ingress, making it highly resistant to extreme weather. It has been tested for salt water spray (ASTM B117 - ISO9227) and accelerated UV exposure (ISO 4892) to ensure long-term performance in harsh conditions. The 10W panel is also fitted with a blocking diode to prevent reverse current drain from the battery at night. Common Questions Does this 10W panel require a charge controller? For 12V batteries larger than 75Ah, a charge controller is generally not required with this 10W panel, as it delivers a continuous trickle feed. For smaller batteries, or if you are unsure, it is always best practice to consult an expert or consider a low-power charge controller. How flexible is the panel? The PV Logic Flexi panel can be bonded to flat or slightly curved surfaces, accommodating a curve of up to 3cm per metre. This makes it suitable for various roof and deck contours. What is included in the fixing kit? The kit includes a bonding agent, a waterproof cable gland, and detailed installation instructions. The panel also comes with a pre-fitted 4m UV stabilised PV cable, connectors, and a fuse. Can the panel be walked on? Yes, the dimpled ETFE top layer provides an anti-slip surface and is robust enough to be walked on with soft deck shoes, making it ideal for boat decks. Installation Notes Surface Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface (e.g., painted aluminium, metal, GRP, fibreglass) is clean, dry, and free from contaminants before applying the bonding agent. Bonding Method: Use the supplied bonding agent or a similar elastic adhesive like Simson ISR 70-03. Follow the recommended glue pattern (as detailed in the instructions) to ensure adequate airflow beneath the panel. This airflow is crucial to prevent heat build-up and potential warping. Mechanical Fixing: The panel features pre-drilled 4.5mm holes, allowing for mechanical fixing in addition to or instead of bonding, depending on your application and substrate. Cable Routing: Utilise the waterproof cable gland for a secure and watertight entry point for the 4m UV stabilised PV cable into your vehicle or boat. Read Instructions: Always refer to the detailed installation instructions provided with the kit for specific guidance and best practices. Before You Buy Battery Compatibility: This 10W panel is designed for 12V battery systems. Ensure your battery is compatible. Battery Size: As noted, a charge controller is generally not needed for 12V batteries larger than 75Ah. For smaller batteries, consider adding a suitable charge controller to prevent overcharging. Power Requirements: While providing a continuous trickle charge, a 10W panel is for small power consumption needs. Assess your daily energy requirements to ensure this panel meets your expectations. Mounting Surface: Verify your intended mounting surface can accommodate the panel's dimensions and slight curvature flexibility. Cable Length: The panel comes with a 4m cable. Plan your installation to ensure this length is sufficient or if extensions will be required. Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements before purchase. Product specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer. This panel typically includes a 2-year product warranty and a 20-year cell output warranty.
