Designed specifically for tight spaces and curved surfaces, this discreet, highly durable panel leverages advanced ETFE technology to deliver free, reliable electricity wherever your journey takes you. It's the smart choice for anyone seeking efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and long-lasting energy independence for their motorhome, boat, camper, or off-grid setup.

This powerful and adaptable solar panel boasts an impressive array of features:

• Powerful 50W Output: Provides ample electricity for charging 12V batteries and powering various applications.
• Ultra-Narrow Design: At just 200mm wide, it’s perfect for restricted spaces or obstructed roofs.
• Semi-Flexible & Lightweight: Ideal for curved surfaces, weighing only 1.01kg and just 2mm thin.
• Fibreglass Reinforced & ETFE Coated: Ensures exceptional durability and a longer service life, resisting cracking, delamination, and corrosion.
• High-Efficiency Monocrystalline Cells: Made with new-generation 5-busbar cells to deliver maximum power from a compact area.
• All-Black Aesthetic: Blends seamlessly and discreetly with dark-coloured roofs, vehicles, and mounting surfaces.
• Textured Anti-Reflective Surface: Enhances performance in low light, cloudy conditions, and at various sun angles by maximizing light absorption.
• Waterproof & Saltwater Resistant: Built for permanent outdoor use in all weather conditions, making it perfect for marine environments.
• Easy Connectivity: Comes with 1m cables (4mm² cross section) and waterproof MC4 connectors for straightforward installation and system integration.

Exceptional Durability with ETFE Coating

Beyond its robust fibreglass reinforcement, this 50W semi-flexible solar panel features a strong ETFE surface. This premium material offers a significantly longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible panels, making it incredibly hard-wearing and less prone to common issues like cracking, delamination, and corrosion. The subtly textured ETFE surface also functions as an anti-reflective layer, boosting light absorption and overall efficiency. ETFE's proven track record for durability and high-temperature resistance, seen in demanding applications like the Eden Project, assures you of its quality and longevity.

Advanced 5-Busbar Solar Cells

Equipped with new-generation 5-busbar solar cells, this panel is designed for superior performance. These cells are more efficient than older 2, 3, or 4 busbar designs found in most other solar panels, allowing them to capture more power from the same surface area. The result is a more compact solar panel that still delivers impressive output, ideal when space is at a premium.

Sleek All-Black Design

The panel's unique black backing allows for a remarkably discreet and aesthetically pleasing installation. It merges beautifully with dark-coloured roofs, vehicles, or mounting surfaces, offering a clean, integrated look that enhances any setup. Please note, while designed to be black, the exact hue may vary slightly depending on the batch of solar cells.

Optimized Performance with Textured Surface

The innovative textured surface on this solar panel dramatically reduces light reflection. At the same time, it maximizes light absorption from virtually every possible angle. This clever design ensures high performance even in challenging light conditions, such as overcast days, or during the morning, evening, and winter months when sunlight is less direct.

Effortless Connectivity

For simple and secure setup, the panel is fitted with two 1-meter cables. These 4mm² cables are specifically designed for solar panel applications, ensuring high current flow with negligible power loss. Waterproof MC4 connectors are pre-attached, allowing for quick and easy connectivity to your existing solar system, convenient linking of several panels together, or extending with 4mm extension cable.
