The BougeRV 12V ShadePower Arch Pro Flexible Solar Kit Builds a Complete 12V System in 200W, 600W or 800W With Shade-Tolerant Panels and LiFePO4 Storage
The BougeRV 12V ShadePower Arch Pro Flexible Solar Kit packages flexible solar panels, an MPPT charge controller, LiFePO4 batteries and a pure sine wave inverter into one 12V system. Choose the 200W, 600W or 800W kit size. Every size pairs each Arch Pro 200W N-type TOPCon flexible panel with one 12V 100Ah Group 24 LiFePO4 battery.
BougeRV designed the Arch Pro panel for RVs, vans and off-grid systems where shade from roof fixtures or the surroundings can't be avoided. The panels weigh 7.9 lbs each and attach with adhesive instead of a frame, and you add the fuses, cables and mounting materials that fit your installation.
BougeRV 12V ShadePower Arch Pro Flexible Solar Kit Features
Three Kit Sizes on One 12V Platform
The 200W kit has one panel, one battery, a Sunflow 40A MPPT controller and a 2000W inverter. The 600W kit has three panels, three batteries, the Sunflow 40A and the 2000W inverter. The 800W kit has four panels, four batteries, a Sunflow 60A MPPT controller and a 3000W inverter.
ShadePower Panels for Partly Shaded Roofs
BougeRV says ShadePower technology lets each Arch Pro panel sustain up to 130W when 33% of its surface is shaded. Each panel uses 28 bypass diodes to help prevent hot spots and localized overheating.
Thin, Light N-Type Panels
Each panel is rated 200W with 25% solar cell efficiency and a 16BB cell design. The manual rates it at 31V Vmp, 6.46A Imp, 36V Voc and 6.77A Isc, each ±5%, with a 1000V DC max system voltage. It measures 53 x 31 x 0.1 inches and weighs 7.9 lbs, with two 33.5 inch (850 mm) 14AWG leads.
Sunflow MPPT Controller Sized to Each Kit
The Sunflow 40A accepts up to 600W of solar on a 12V battery, and the Sunflow 60A accepts up to 900W. Both take up to 100V of PV input, list MPPT tracking efficiency above 99% and charging conversion efficiency above 95%, and let you set charging current in 1A steps. Built-in Bluetooth lets you check and adjust settings from your phone.
1280Wh LiFePO4 Batteries With Built-In Protection
Each BV12100 battery is 12.8V and 100Ah, rated for 4000 cycles at 25°C, 0.2C and 100% depth of discharge, with 100A continuous discharge and an IP65 rating. BougeRV lists six BMS protections: overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, overheating and low temperature charging. Charging stops at 32°F (0°C) and resumes at 35.6°F (2°C).
2000W or 3000W Pure Sine Wave Output
The 2000W inverter delivers 4000W peak for one second, and the 3000W inverter delivers 6000W peak. Both produce 120VAC with total harmonic distortion under 5%, include a wired remote display and Bluetooth app control, and protect against input over-voltage, over-discharge, overload, short circuit, over-temperature and ground faults.
Real-World Applications
RV roofs with vents and fixtures. Mount the panels where roof parts cast shadows and let the ShadePower design keep them charging.
Camper vans. Keep a low roof profile with 0.1 inch panels and power 120VAC devices from the inverter.
Off-grid cabins and outbuildings. Store solar energy in LiFePO4 batteries and draw AC power for lights and small appliances.
Starting small. Begin with the 200W kit for light loads or choose the 800W kit for more solar input and storage.
Practical Comparison
200W Kit Versus 800W Kit
The 200W kit is a one-panel, one-battery system for lighter daily use. The 800W kit has four times the panels and batteries, steps up to the Sunflow 60A controller and moves to the 3000W inverter for larger AC loads. The 600W kit sits between them with three panels and three batteries on the 40A controller and 2000W inverter.
ShadePower Flexible Panel Versus a Standard Rigid Panel
A framed rigid panel usually mounts on brackets above the roof. The Arch Pro is 0.1 inch thick, bonds to the roof with sealant and is built to keep producing when part of its surface is shaded.
Buyer Guidance
Parts and Mounting
BougeRV lists these as purchased separately: solar panel mounting brackets, MC4 fuses, MC4 extension cables, an MC4 crimping tool, controller-to-battery cables, battery-to-inverter cables and a battery-to-inverter fuse or breaker. The panel manual calls for a polyurethane sealant strip at least 0.25 inch wide every 6.5 inches, space for airflow, extra adhesive on the windward edge and 48 hours to cure.
Wiring and AC Loads
Connect the battery to the controller before the panels, set the battery type to LiFePO4 and keep the array within the controller's 100V input and rated current. BougeRV doesn't publish a panel wiring plan for these kits. Fully charge each battery before connecting them and let them rest 12 to 24 hours after a parallel connection. The inverters work only on 12V, have no reverse polarity protection and need a DC fuse or breaker rated 2 to 2.5 times their rated input current, within 150 mm of the battery. The 3000W inverter does not include battery cables, and its manual recommends 4/0 AWG.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- Your roof gets partial shade
- You want a complete 12V solar system
- You prefer thin panels bonded to the roof
- You need 2000W or 3000W of AC output
Common Questions
Which Controller and Inverter Come With Each Size?
The 200W and 600W kits include the Sunflow 40A MPPT controller and the 2000W inverter. The 800W kit includes the Sunflow 60A MPPT controller and the 3000W inverter.
How Many Batteries Can I Connect?
BougeRV's battery manual allows up to four batteries in parallel for 400Ah, or up to four in series for 48V. When connecting both ways, connect in parallel first.
Does the Panel Work With a Portable Power Station?
Yes. BougeRV's panel manual says a power station with an MC4-equipped cable can connect to the panel directly, without the charge controller. Confirm the power station's solar input limits first.
What Warranties Apply?
BougeRV lists 5 years material and workmanship for the panels, 5 years for the batteries and 18 months for the inverters.
