In addition, the surface of solar panels is made of strong \u003cstrong\u003eETFE\u003c\/strong\u003e material which has a longer service life compared to standard lightweight solar panels. As a result, these 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eCharging a 12V\/24V battery\u003c\/u\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis folding solar panel is \u003cstrong\u003esupplied without a solar charge controller\u003c\/strong\u003e to offer the flexibility of choosing the controller best suited to your application. You can use your existing solar charge controller with this panel or use it with a device which has an in-built charge regulator (for example, if your portable power station or portable battery bank has one) or it can be paired with any of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.photonicuniverse.com\/en\/catalog\/list\/category\/MPPTcontrollers\/\"\u003eour solar charge controllers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e. We offer a wide range of controllers; with features including LCD displays, Dual Battery capability, mobile app connectivity and more - providing you with increased control over your system. This folding panel also allows you to remotely mount a solar charge controller in a convenient location for easy monitoring and quick access. This folding panel can be easily connected to one or more similar folding panels if necessary. The entire system can then be connected through a larger solar charge controller to increase the energy yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that the solar charge controller to be used with this folding solar panel must be of MPPT type.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eClick on the Details and Specifications tab for more information about this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Photonic Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56848297656703,"sku":"ARF-FNC-400M","price":619.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9689\/8691\/files\/1682591458_05235300.png?v=1769530294","url":"https:\/\/marcleleisure.co.uk\/products\/400w-12v-24v-lightweight-folding-solar-panel-without-a-solar-charge-controller","provider":"Marcle Leisure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
