BougeRV Flexible Solar Panel Waterproof Butyl Rubber Tape Mounts Flexible Panels Without Drilling Into Your Roof or Deck
BougeRV Flexible Solar Panel Waterproof Butyl Rubber Tape is a 3.98 inch wide butyl tape made for installing flexible solar panels on smooth surfaces. It gives a strong, watertight bond that helps protect the mounting surface from moisture, so you can mount a panel on an RV, boat or roof without making new holes.
Two lengths are available. The 16.4 foot roll (ISE226) covers one 100W flexible panel. The 32.8 foot roll (ISE227) covers one 200W flexible panel or two 100W panels.
BougeRV Flexible Solar Panel Waterproof Butyl Rubber Tape Features
Strong Adhesion on Smooth Surfaces
The butyl tape bonds firmly to smooth mounting surfaces and holds a flexible panel in place outdoors. BougeRV designed it for long-lasting adhesion on RVs, boats and rooftops.
Waterproof and Corrosion Resistant
The tape is waterproof and corrosion resistant. Its watertight seal helps keep moisture out of the mounting area, which matters on boats and RV roofs.
Sized for 100W and 200W Panels
The 3.98 inch width and two roll lengths match common flexible panel sizes, so you can buy the right amount for your array.
Works With BougeRV and Other Flexible Panels
BougeRV lists the tape as compatible with its Yuma CIGS, Arch Pro and Arch 2.0 flexible panels, and suitable for most flexible solar panels on the market.
Simple Cut-and-Stick Install
Measure and cut the tape to fit your panel, apply it to the back, then peel the backing and press the panel into place. No drilling or mounting hardware is needed.
Real-World Applications
RV roofs. Mount flexible panels without drilling into the roof, for a clean, low-profile install.
Boats. Avoid drilling holes that can let water in, while giving a flexible panel a secure bond.
Rooftop tents. Cut the tape to fit and mount a panel to a suitable smooth surface on the tent shell.
Smooth wooden surfaces. Skip brackets and mount a flexible panel on suitable smooth wood, such as a shed or cabin surface.
How It Compares to Common Alternatives
Versus screws and brackets. Mechanical mounts need holes that must be sealed. Butyl tape mounts the panel with no holes at all.
Versus liquid adhesives. Liquid adhesives must be spread evenly and can be messy. Tape goes on in a clean, even strip that you cut to length.
Versus a panel's built-in adhesive. Some flexible panels come with adhesive already applied. This tape lets you mount panels without it, or replace worn adhesive when you reinstall a panel.
Is This Tape the Right Fit
-
Surface. Use it on smooth surfaces such as RV, boat and rooftop skins. Rough or textured surfaces will not bond as well.
-
Preparation. Clean and dry both the panel and the mounting surface before you apply the tape.
-
Removal. The bond is strong. To remove a panel later, BougeRV suggests 98% alcohol or diesel to loosen the adhesive, and some residue may remain.
This may be a good fit if
- You are installing a flexible solar panel on an RV, boat or roof
- You want to avoid drilling holes
- You need a waterproof bond around the panel
- You are reinstalling a panel and need fresh adhesive
