Solar Technology PV Logic Series 10W Flexi Semi-Flexible Solar Panel Kit Lightweight & Durable | Ideal for Marine & Campervan | 12V Battery Charging The Solar Technology 10W Flexi Solar Panel Kit (SKU: 751-STPVF010) offers a robust and lightweight solution for maintaining 12V batteries in various off-grid applications. This semi-flexible photovoltaic panel is designed for durability and ease of installation, making it an excellent choice for marine, campervan, and remote power needs. Featuring an advanced ETFE top layer, this panel boasts a self-healing capacity against minor abrasions and provides an anti-slip surface, ideal for boat decks or curved vehicle roofs. Its completely waterproof construction ensures reliable performance in challenging outdoor environments. IMPORTANT NOTE: This 10W panel kit typically does not require a charge controller if connected to a 12V battery larger than 75Ah. Key Features ▶ Self-Healing ETFE Surface — Provides enhanced resilience against minor abrasions and offers an anti-slip finish. ▶ Completely Waterproof Design — Six-layer heavy-duty laminate and silicon-injected junction box ensure protection in extreme conditions. ▶ Hot Spot Protection — Designed to mitigate heat build-up from partial shading, extending panel lifespan. ▶ Superior & Safe Construction — Features rounded corners, a unique curved junction box, and strain relief for the 4m UV-stabilised PV cable. ▶ Versatile Installation — Can be bonded to flat or slightly curved surfaces (up to 3cm curve per metre) or mechanically fixed using pre-drilled 4.5mm holes. Technical Specifications Parameter Value Rated Power (Pmax) 10W Operating Voltage (Vmp) 17.6V DC Operating Current (Imp) 0.57A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) 21.9V Short Circuit Current (Isc) 0.61A Daily Amp Hours (Ah/day) 3.42Ah (approx.) Dimensions (L x W x D) 380 x 250 x 4mm Weight 0.56Kg Operating & Power Guidance The 10W Flexi Solar Panel is designed to provide a continuous trickle charge, helping to maintain and extend the life of 12-volt batteries. It can deliver up to 65Wh per day under optimal conditions. Its semi-flexible nature allows for installation on slightly curved surfaces, making it highly adaptable for various mobile and static off-grid setups. The panel is supplied with a 4m UV-stabilised PV cable, connectors, and a fuse for straightforward integration into your system. Typical Applications Application Description Marine Vessels Ideal for trickle charging leisure batteries on boats, yachts, and marine buoys, with an anti-slip surface for deck mounting. Campervans & Motorhomes Suitable for maintaining leisure batteries, powering small lights, or charging devices in recreational vehicles. Trailer Tents & Caravans Provides supplementary power for lighting and small electronics during camping trips. Small Off-Grid Systems Useful for powering electric fences or other low-power remote applications. Built-In Protection Functions The Solar Technology 10W Flexi panel incorporates robust design features for enhanced durability and safety. This includes a completely encapsulated, six-layer heavy-duty laminate to protect the solar cell circuit from extreme conditions, and a silicon-injected junction box to prevent water ingress. The panel is also designed to protect cells from damaging hot spots that can occur with partial shading, contributing to a longer operational life. Common Questions What can a 10W flexible solar panel power? A 10W flexible solar panel is primarily designed for trickle charging and maintaining 12V batteries. It can power very small loads like LED lights, charge mobile phones (via a suitable charge controller with USB output, if not directly connected to a battery), or keep a leisure battery topped up. It's not intended for high-power appliances. Is a charge controller required for this 10W panel? For this specific 10W Solar Technology Flexi panel, a charge controller is generally not required if the 12V battery you are charging is larger than 75Ah. For smaller batteries or if you wish to optimise charging and protect against overcharging, a suitable charge controller is recommended. How flexible is this solar panel? The panel is semi-flexible, meaning it can conform to slight curves, typically up to 3cm per metre. It is not designed for extreme bending or folding. This flexibility makes it suitable for mounting on slightly contoured surfaces like boat decks or curved vehicle roofs. How is the panel installed? The panel can be installed by bonding it directly to a flat or slightly curved surface using a suitable adhesive (e.g., Simson ISR 70-03). It also features pre-drilled 4.5mm holes for mechanical fixing. It is crucial to ensure adequate airflow beneath the panel to prevent heat build-up and potential warping. Installation Notes Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound before installation. For bonding, use a marine-grade or outdoor-rated adhesive suitable for the panel and surface materials (e.g., painted aluminium, GRP, fibreglass). If mechanically fixing, use appropriate fasteners for the substrate and ensure holes are sealed to prevent water ingress. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended glue pattern to allow for essential airflow beneath the panel, preventing heat build-up and potential warping. Connect the panel to your 12V battery system, ensuring correct polarity. The kit includes a 4m cable, connectors, and a fuse. Before You Buy Assess Your Power Needs: A 10W panel is ideal for trickle charging and maintaining small 12V batteries. For higher power demands, consider larger panels or multiple panels in an array. Battery Compatibility: This panel is designed for 12V battery systems. Ensure your battery type and capacity are compatible. Charge Controller: While not strictly necessary for batteries over 75Ah, a charge controller can optimise charging, prevent overcharging, and provide additional system protection and monitoring. Installation Surface: Confirm your intended mounting surface can accommodate the panel's dimensions and slight flexibility. Professional Advice: If unsure about system design or installation, consult with a qualified solar installer or auto/marine electrician. All specifications are based on verified manufacturer data and standard test conditions. Product features and performance may vary based on environmental factors and system configuration. This PV Logic flexi solar panel carries a 2-year product warranty.
