Common Questions What makes ETFE better than other panel coatings? ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) offers superior durability, higher light transmittance, and self-cleaning properties compared to traditional PET coatings. It is highly resistant to UV degradation, moisture, and extreme temperatures, ensuring a longer lifespan and consistent performance. Can this panel be walked on? Yes, the PV Logic Flexi range, with its dimpled ETFE top layer, is designed to be walked on with soft deck shoes, making it particularly suitable for boat decks. What type of battery can the included charge controller charge? The included STCC10 10A Dual Battery Charge Controller is suitable for charging 12V lead-acid batteries (including sealed, gel, and flooded types) and can manage two batteries simultaneously. It supports 12V/24V systems with automatic recognition. Is the panel truly flexible? The PV Logic Flexi panels are semi-flexible, designed to fit flush to surfaces with a slight curve, typically no greater than 3cm per metre of panel length. Excessive bending beyond this limit can cause damage and should be avoided during handling and installation. Installation Notes The panel can be bonded to flat or slightly curved surfaces (up to 3cm curve per metre) such as painted aluminium, metal, GRP, and fibreglass. Pre-drilled 4.5mm holes are provided for mechanical fixing if required, either as an alternative or in addition to bonding. Ensure a specific glue pattern is followed during bonding to allow for adequate airflow underneath the panel, preventing heat build-up and potential warping. Always refer to the manufacturer's detailed instructions for safe and correct installation procedures. Before You Buy Verify the 80W power output is sufficient for your specific energy requirements. Confirm the physical dimensions (806 x 665 x 4mm) are suitable for your intended mounting location. Ensure your battery system is compatible with a 12V/24V PWM charge controller. Consider professional installation for optimal performance and safety, especially for marine or vehicle applications. Product specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer. Always consult the latest product documentation for critical details before purchase and installation.
