Description
xFlexible Solar Panel 195W Monocrystalline ETFE | 22% Efficiency | 12V 24V 48V
A high-efficiency 195W flexible monocrystalline solar panel with premium ETFE coating. Ultra-lightweight at 3kg, with a 248-degree arc of flexibility for curved and uneven surfaces. Ideal for campervans, motorhomes, boats, and any application where a rigid panel cannot be mounted. Compatible with MPPT chargers at 12V, 24V, and 48V.
Key Features
- 195W maximum power output with 22.42% cell efficiency
- ETFE (Ethylene TetraFluoroEthylene) top coating: self-cleaning, scratch-resistant, and UV-stable
- 248-degree flexibility arc for curved and contoured surfaces
- Ultra-lightweight: 3kg (approximately 70% lighter than a standard rigid panel)
- Less than 5mm thick
- IP66-rated junction box with pre-fitted twin-core double-insulated 3m cable
- Positive and negative terminals clearly marked on the junction box
- Compatible with MPPT battery chargers at 12V, 24V, and 48V
- 36 solar cells
Product Overview
The ETFE coating on this panel offers significant advantages over conventional PVF (Tedlar) or glass surfaces. ETFE has outstanding mechanical toughness and resistance to cracking, protects the underlying solar cells from UV degradation, and has self-cleaning properties that help maintain output in outdoor environments. Its high light transmission also helps improve energy absorption compared to standard lamination materials.
At 3kg and less than 5mm thick, this panel is practical to handle and install in locations inaccessible to standard rigid panels. The 248-degree flexibility arc means it can conform to the curved rooflines of caravans, vans, and boat decks without creating stress points or requiring bespoke frames.
Mounting recommendation: fix using silicone structural adhesive on the back of the panel. Grommets are provided but should only be used for non-mobile, static applications. For vehicles and mobile use, consult a qualified installer for the appropriate bonding method.

Installation and Safety Notes
Bond using silicone structural adhesive on the back of the panel. For mobile applications, do not rely solely on grommets for fixing. Use only with a compatible MPPT solar charge controller rated for the panel voltage and current. Consult a qualified installer or vehicle converter for correct sizing of the charge controller, cabling, and battery bank.
