That's why we have developed this highly durable semi-flexible solar panel reinforced with \u003cstrong\u003eanodised aluminium\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003estrong ETFE surface \u003c\/strong\u003eand made from \u003cstrong\u003emonocrystalline solar cells\u003c\/strong\u003e. This high efficiency 50W 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 50W 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.

This results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited. These solar cells are also the best choice for applications in warmer climates, as they operate well even in high ambient temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul class=\"bullet\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eSemi-flexible design makes it ideal for slightly curved roofs and surfaces where bonding is preferable (though the panel can also be fixed by bolts or screws)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eUnique ultra-narrow shape is ideal for applications where space is restricted, or where there are obstructions on the roof (only 20cm wide)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eThe panel is incredibly light (only 1.75kg) which is great for all vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eHigh resistance to salt water environments and possibility to walk on the panel make it perfect for boats and yachts\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eSealed waterproof design ensures the panel can be used in all weather conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel is fitted with 2 x 90 cm of cable specially designed for solar panels to carry high currents with negligible power loss (2.5mm² cross section).
