Featuring a unique rear-mounted junction box, this panel allows for a completely flush installation, eliminating trip hazards and reducing wind drag on vehicle roofs. The fiberglass reinforcement combined with a rugged ETFE top layer provides superior durability and resistance to salt water, making it the professional choice for yachts, campervans, and off-grid systems. ADVANCED DURABILITY: Engineered with ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) for higher light transmission and extreme resistance to corrosion and cracking compared to standard PET panels. Key Features ✔ Rear Junction Box: Creates a seamless, level surface. ✔ Semi-Flexible: Conforms to curved surfaces (up to 250mm arch). ✔ ETFE Coating: Salt-water resistant and anti-reflective. ✔ Ultra-Thin: Only 3mm profile for low aerodynamic impact. ✔ Pre-Wired: Includes 3m of 4mm² dual-core solar cable. Technical Specs Peak Power: 180W Max Power Voltage (Vmp): 20.5V Max Power Current (Imp): 8.79A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): 24.0V Short Circuit Current (Isc): 9.22A Dimensions: 1470 x 665 x 3 mm Weight: 3.15 kg Application & Fitment Guide System / Use Case Application Notes Marine / Nautical Boats, Yachts, Narrowboats ETFE coating resists salt corrosion. Leisure Vehicles Motorhomes, Caravans, VW Transporters Aerodynamic flush mount via rear J-Box. Off-Grid Power Remote Lighting, Backup Systems Requires 12V Solar Charge Controller. Installation Notes Flush Mounting: To achieve a perfectly level finish, a small recess/hole must be cut into the mounting surface to accommodate the circular rear-mounted junction box (approx. 30mm diameter). Bonding: We recommend using a high-quality structural adhesive (such as Sikaflex 252 or 512) for permanent bonding to vehicle roofs or boat decks. Questions & Answers Is this a genuine solarika / Aftermarket part? This is a premium quality aftermarket solar panel sourced to meet the high technical standards required by solarika for mobile and marine power applications. Do I need a charge controller for this panel? Yes. This panel must be used with a suitable solar charge controller (PWM or MPPT) to regulate the voltage before it reaches your 12V battery bank. It should not be connected directly to a battery. Can I walk on this solar panel? While the panel is reinforced with fiberglass and ETFE for durability, we recommend avoiding high-traffic areas. Occasional light treading with soft-soled deck shoes is generally acceptable if the panel is fully bonded to a flat, solid surface. Note: Please verify measurements (1470 x 665mm) and your mounting space before purchasing. Professional installation is recommended for marine and vehicle roof bonding.
