It is 0.10 in (2.5 mm) thick and comes in 100W and 200W sizes, each sold as a single panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made for curved or space-limited surfaces such as RVs, boats, teardrop trailers and balconies. Renogy says ShadowFlux helps reduce power loss and hot-spot risk when trees, antennas, masts or snow shade part of the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRenogy Flex ShadowFlux 100\/200W Anti-Shading N-Type Flexible Solar Panel (All Black) Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCell-Level \u003cspan style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"\u003eAnti-Shading\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShadowFlux uses up to 30 cell-level bypass diodes to bypass shaded cells. In Renogy's lab test of a 200W panel under simulated partial shading, the panel kept up to 85% of its output. Renogy says actual output varies with installation and conditions. Renogy recommends keeping more than half of the panel surface in direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eN-Type TOPCon Cells\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel uses up to 18BB Grade A+ N-Type TOPCon cells with up to 25% cell efficiency. Renogy says they give lower degradation and reduced crack risk, and hold up better as rooftop temperatures rise. It also says to pair the panel with an MPPT controller for better charging performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBends Up to 270°\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenogy says the panel bends up to 270° vertically along its long axis. Horizontal bending is limited on purpose to protect the cells from micro-cracks. That lets it follow curved RV roofs and boat surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThin and Light\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100W is 37.09 x 24.13 x 0.10 in (942 x 613 x 2.5 mm) and weighs 4.19 lb (1.90 kg). The 200W is 62.20 x 27.40 x 0.10 in (1,580 x 696 x 2.5 mm) and weighs 7.72 lb (3.50 kg). Renogy says one person can carry and install it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTPO Surface With IP68 Protection\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenogy uses TPO instead of ETFE for greater moisture resistance and flexibility, and says its UV absorption resists yellowing and aging. Dual glass-fiber reinforcement resists vibration and flexing. The panel is rated IP68 and for up to 5,400Pa of snow load and 2,400Pa of wind load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStrap or Adhesive Mounting\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenogy shows the panel held with mounting straps through its grommets or with adhesive, with no drilling.
