That's why we have developed this highly durable semi-flexible solar panel reinforced with \u003cstrong\u003eanodised aluminium\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003estrong ETFE surface \u003c\/strong\u003eand made from \u003cstrong\u003emonocrystalline solar cells\u003c\/strong\u003e. This high efficiency 20W solar panel is perfect for permanent outdoor use to provide free electricity for charging 12V batteries to power various applications, such as in a motorhome, caravan, camper, boat, or for solar lighting systems, off-grid, and back up solar power systems. The panel can also be used to provide direct power supply for applications not sensitive to changes in input voltage \/ current (e.g. electric motors or pumps) and for various grid-tie applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAluminium reinforcement and strong ETFE coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis reinforced semi-flexible solar panel has a unique 7-layer construction, featuring an \u003cstrong\u003eembedded sheet of anodised aluminium \u003c\/strong\u003efully encapsulated within the solar panel. This additional reinforcement offers greater strength and resilience, making this one of the most robust semi-flexible solar panels available on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the aluminium reinforcement, the surface of this 20W semi-flexible solar panel is made of strong \u003cstrong\u003eETFE\u003c\/strong\u003e material which has a longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible solar panels. As a result, these particular semi-flexible solar panels are \u003cstrong\u003eextremely hard-wearing \u003c\/strong\u003eand less prone to cracking , delamination and corrosion. The lightly textured coating of this panel creates an \u003cstrong\u003eanti-reflective surface \u003c\/strong\u003ewhich allows the panel to absorb a far greater amount of light, thereby increasing efficiency. ETFE material has long been used in applications where durability and high-temperature resistance is required, such as in the Eden Project, Cornwall.
