The ACOPower 110W 12V Flexible ETFE Solar Panel Bends to Fit RV, Van and Boat Roofs Where Rigid Panels Will Not
The ACOPower 110W 12V Flexible ETFE Solar Panel is a semi-flexible solar panel that laminates high-efficiency monocrystalline cells under a thin ETFE surface instead of glass and aluminum. It produces 110 watts at 17.6V and 6.25A, a good match for 12 volt batteries through a charge controller, and weighs just 4.85 lbs.
Buy one panel or a pack of up to five. Each panel has MC4 output connectors, so multiple panels can be wired in parallel for 12V systems or in series for MPPT controllers and higher voltage batteries.
ACOPower 110W 12V Flexible ETFE Solar Panel Features
Bends to Fit Curved Surfaces
The panel can be gently flexed into a smooth curve of up to 27 degrees, so it follows the shape of a bus or van roof, a boat deck, a cabin top or a tent frame.
Thin and Light
At just 3 mm thick and 2.2 kg (4.85 lbs), the panel weighs a fraction of a framed glass panel, and it can be installed without structural roof reinforcement.
SunPower Monocrystalline Cells
High-efficiency SunPower cells give the panel a module efficiency of 20.5%. The cells are laminated under a scratch-resistant, weather-resistant ETFE surface.
Flexible Mounting Options
Four metal-reinforced holes at the corners let you screw the panel down, or you can attach it with adhesive, grommets, zip ties or hook-and-loop strips for a non-permanent install.
Real-World Applications
Camper vans and buses. Follow the curve of the roof for a low-profile, stealthy install.
Boats and yachts. Mount on curved decks, hard tops and biminis.
Teardrops and trailers. Add solar without the weight of framed panels.
Golf carts and tents. Attach temporarily with grommets or straps.
How It Compares to Common Alternatives
Versus rigid framed panels. A framed 100W panel weighs about 13 lbs and needs mounting brackets. The flexible panel is far lighter and lower profile, but a framed panel generally lasts longer and runs cooler because air can flow underneath.
Versus portable suitcase kits. Portable kits are set up at camp. A flexible panel stays mounted and charges while you drive.
Versus the ACOPower flexible kit. If you need a controller and cables too, ACOPower's flexible kits bundle the panels with a PWM or MPPT controller and roof entry hardware.
Is This Flexible Solar Panel the Right Fit
-
Surface. Flat or gently curved, up to 27 degrees. Avoid sharp bends and walking on the panel.
-
Battery. 12V or 24V through a suitable charge controller.
-
Space. About 42 x 21 inches per panel.
-
Heat. Leave some airflow where possible. Panels bonded directly to a hot roof produce less power.
This may be a good fit if
- Your roof is curved or cannot take heavy brackets
- You want a low-profile installation
- Weight matters on your vehicle or boat
- You already have a charge controller or plan to add one
Common Questions
How Much Can It Bend?
ACOPower rates it for a smooth curve of up to 27 degrees. Do not fold or crease the panel.
How Do I Attach It?
Use the four reinforced corner holes with screws, or attach it with adhesive, grommets, zip ties or hook-and-loop strips.
Do I Need a Charge Controller?
Yes. A 12V battery should be charged through a controller. ACOPower sells matching PWM and MPPT controllers separately.
Can I Walk on It?
No. Avoid standing on or dropping weight onto the panel, as that can crack the cells.
