eBook immediate DOWNLOAD - A full years' research about flexible solar panels that can be mounted on curved surfaces.  Flexible solar panels offer a different installation option than standard fixed solar panels.  Flexible panels can bend about 30 degrees to fit easily on rounded surfaces.  Builders install flexible panels to foster a more stealth appearance.  The panels cannot be seen from the ground when mounted on the roof of a campervan.   Earlier versions of flexible panels did not weather well over time.  They would become brittle and crack within two years.  One suggestion is to mount the flexible panels on a  thin vented surface.  This surface allows the panels to remain cooled while in the sun.  The vented surface promotes water drainage.  As the technology advances the surface of the flexible panel has improved with ETFE coating making them very durable and longer lasting.

 

The flexible solar panel will have its voltage printed on the panel.  This value is called the open circuit voltage (VOC).  The VOC value has to be in the DC input voltage range of the solar charge controller being used.  If the VOC is too small the panel will not start charging the battery.  If the VOC is too large for the controller it could damage the controller.  The MPPT circuitry will stop the charging to protect the battery from being over charged.

 

Solar panels do not work by themselves.  The volts and amps they create must be passed to a solar charge controller.  This device processes the incoming volts and boost the outgoing amps, sent to the battery.  The solar charge controller will have its limitation displayed on the unit.  100 / 40 is 100 volts in, from the solar array and 40 amps out to the batteries where the energy is stored.

 

This eBook has a table of 15 flexible solar panels.  In the table is how many watts of power the panel will product and its VOC value.   This eBook list 40 user created video reviews about the panels in the table.  Just download the eBook, click and watch.
