This material provides a much longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible panels. As a result, these specific panels are \u003cb\u003eextremely hard-wearing\u003c\/b\u003e and far less likely to crack, delaminate, or corrode over time. The panel's lightly textured coating creates an \u003cb\u003eanti-reflective surface\u003c\/b\u003e. This allows the panel to absorb a much greater amount of light, thereby increasing its efficiency. ETFE material has a long history of use in applications where durability and high-temperature resistance are essential, such as the famous Eden Project in Cornwall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh Quality 5-Busbar Solar Cells Explained:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis panel includes \u003cb\u003enew generation 5-busbar solar cells\u003c\/b\u003e. These cells are more efficient than the 2, 3, or 4 busbar cells found in most other solar panels. They are designed to extract more power from the same surface area. This innovative design results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is perfect for situations where space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll-Black Design for Seamless Integration:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unique all-black backing of this solar panel makes it truly ideal for \u003cb\u003ediscreet and aesthetically pleasing installations\u003c\/b\u003e. It blends seamlessly with dark-coloured roofs, vehicles, or mounting surfaces, offering a clean look. Please note that while designed to be all-black, the exact shade may vary slightly between panels, depending on the batch of solar cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnti-Reflective Textured Surface Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe textured surface of this solar panel is expertly designed to \u003cb\u003ereduce light reflection\u003c\/b\u003e. At the same time, it \u003cb\u003emaximizes the absorption of light\u003c\/b\u003e from every possible angle. This smart feature ensures consistently high performance, even in challenging conditions. These include low light, cloudy days, or when sunlight falls at an angle, such as in the morning, evening, or during winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEffortless Connectivity:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe panel comes fitted with \u003cb\u003etwo 1-meter lengths of specialized cable\u003c\/b\u003e. These cables are designed for solar panels to carry high currents with very little power loss (2.5mm² cross section). The cable also features waterproof MC4 connectors. These connectors allow for easy hook-up to your existing system, for linking several panels together, or for connecting to extension cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eSolar Panel Specifications:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeak power: \u003cb\u003e30W\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum power voltage: \u003cb\u003e18.2V\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum power current: \u003cb\u003e1.65A\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen circuit voltage: \u003cb\u003e21.3V\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort circuit current: \u003cb\u003e1.73A\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: \u003cb\u003e970 x 200 x 2 mm\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: \u003cb\u003e0.63 kg\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product includes a \u003cb\u003e3-year workmanship warranty\u003c\/b\u003e.
