160W & 180W Solar Panels with ETFE Coating

Description:- 160W & 180W Black Reinforced Semi-Flexible Solar Panel With a Durable ETFE Coating

Colour:- This solar panel has a unique black backing

Contents:-  1 Panel with cable + Male & Female MC4 connectors

Size Options:- 

160W -  1380mm x 665mm

180W -  1520mm x 665mm

Technical:- 

This high efficiency 160W solar panel is perfect for permanent outdoor use to provide free electricity for charging 12V batteries to power various applications, such as in a motorhome, caravan, camper, boat, or for solar lighting systems, off-grid, and back up solar power systems.

The panel can also be used to provide direct power supply for applications not sensitive to changes in input voltage / current (e.g. electric motors or pumps) and for various grid-tie applications.

Aluminium reinforcement and strong ETFE coating:

This reinforced semi-flexible solar panel has a unique 7-layer construction, featuring an embedded sheet of anodised aluminium fully encapsulated within the solar panel. This offers greater strength and resilience, making this one of the most robust semi-flexible solar panels available on the market.

In addition to the aluminium reinforcement, the surface of this 160W semi-flexible solar panel is made of strong ETFE material which has a longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible solar panels. This makes the solar panel extremely hard-wearing and less prone to cracking , delamination and corrosion.

An anti reflective surface is created by the lightly textured coating, which allows the panel to absorb a far greater amount of light, thereby increasing efficiency. 

High quality 5-busbar solar cells:

This panel also features innovative 5 busbar solar cells, which are more efficient than the 2, 3 or 4 busbar solar cells often used, they are able to extract more power from the same surface area. This results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited. 

Other benefits:

• Semi-flexible design makes it ideal for slightly curved roofs and surfaces where bonding is preferable (though the panel can also be fixed by bolts or screws)
• The panel is incredibly light (5.75kg) 
• High resistance to salt water environments 
• Sealed waterproof design ensures the panel can be used in all weather conditions.

The panel is fitted with 2 x 1m of cable specially designed for solar panels to carry high currents with negligible power loss (4mm² cross section). The cable comes with waterproof MC4 connectors which can be used for easy connectivity to your existing system.
