High Performance Solar Technology


More and people are choosing to have semi-flexible solar panels fitted to their motorhomes, caravans and boats. There are several advantages to this


performance too.


Conventional panels made with crystalline cells are fine when mounted in rigid frames which ensure


Power + Flexibility SunFLEX weight too.


It’s the way that SUNPOWER cells are made that makes our SunFLEX panels so efficient and so reliable. Look at one and you’ll notice that each cell is plain black with no grid lines and this helps to make each cell more productive than conventional cells. In fact, SUNPOWER cells are officially the most efficient solar cells ever made. What you can’t see is the solid copper backing which gives the cells their strength and virtually eliminates cell failure.


SunFLEX panels have a self-adhesive foam backing so that they can be fixed easily and securely to a vehicle’s roof. They come with 6M of single, twin-core cable for neat installation and the cells have a 20-year performance warranty. If you want the best performing panels with complete reliability and a very discreet installation, make sure you’ve got SunFLEX panels on your roof.


SunFLEX panels are available in 60W and 100W versions.

however, vibration and movement can cause the cells or the connector strips to break, causing total failure of the panel.

*6.5A Votronic regulator C5581


£39.99*


When you connect a solar panel to a 12V battery, you will almost certainly need a regulator. This will control the energy coming from the panel and get it to the battery in the most efficient way. There are several different types of regulator and, as with most things, you get what you pay for. We have a variety of regulators including basic ones and sophisticated MPPT models which will charge your battery significantly faster, especially in less than ideal conditions. Some regulators will charge the vehicle’s starter battery as well as the leisure batteries.


Most of our regulators come from Votronic, the leading German manufacturer and we have low-cost models from China too. They all do pretty much the same thing but some just do it better.


Some regulators can be connected to a display panel or “solar computer” which will enable you to see exactly how your solar installation is performing and how your battery is responding. These monitors show both current activity & voltage and also keep a record of total energy generated. So you can work out when your panels have generated enough power to have paid for themselves!
