The All-New Flexible RV Solar Panels are high RV grade monocrystalline cells designed to conform to any surface. They can be easily mounted with an adhesive material or screw in through grommets. These panels are able to curve up to 30 degrees. The solar panel surface is walkable, being merely 1/8″ thick. These panels use the compatible MC4 connector cables. It is a marine-grade material. They’re 82% lighter than other solar modules. These units produce more power per square foot than any flexible RV solar panel on the market. A lamination coats the entire module, making it easy to contour and flex against certain materials and surfaces. This eliminates any need for custom mounts. You can also sew the panel into canvas to make it the most versatile solar module on the market. These units are virtually unbreakable, making them aerodynamic and ideal for RVs, Boats and Trucks.

Protective film needs to be removed before installing RV Flex panel. Currently, we have 100 Watt and 30 Watt Flexible Solar Panel Options. These units give the sense of freedom for many people with Teardrop Trailers and Curved Body Campers. These can easily affixed on the side or back of a curved body for quick travel down the highway. We offer Charge Controllers for these options that protect the batteries and regulate voltage. We offer 7 to 30 Amp Charge Controller options depending on how much solar you’d like to add. You can operate laptops, printers, lights, TVs and more with these units when paired with an inverter. Your 12 Volt system should have a great backup power source like a Flexible Solar Panel. Keep your batteries topped off easily and often. A lot of people stow their boat and need a power source to keep the batteries topped off. These flexible panels are great for that option. They’re so lightweight they won’t weigh down any material, even canvas.

Testing a flexible RV solar panel kit before installation. Aluminum grommets make it easy to install these panels. They come with a built in junction box that’s only .6” thick on the back of the panel. The cables are 6’ long and offer male and female quick connect MC4 connectors. The strength of these units has been checked with walkable tests and flex options done. You won’t have to worry that these units are ready for the challenge.

The newest style of solar panels is flexible ones that can confrom somewhat to the shape of the RV roof. These panels range from 20 watts to 110 watts. Many of the flexible panels have inreased in wattage due to their use of more efficent cells in the same panel footprint. Go Power! has a wide range of the panels and the most popular size is the [110 watt flexible solar kit](/go-power-100-watt-flexible-solar-kit-gp-flex-100/). Go Power 110 Watt Flexible Solar Kit Go Power 110 Flexible Expansion panels There are many brands and sizes of these flexibles today. Every year more and more efficent panels with better qualities hit the market. you can also look at thin film flexible solar panels as well. These panels are more flexible but typically have a lower power density.

Lift Gate Battery Charging Solar Panel
Lift Gate Battery Charging Solar Panel

Lift Gate Battery Charging Solar Panel Many fleet managers find issues with some lift gate battery units going dead on vehicles. This “Dead Battery” issue is because when the vehicle is not being used, the auxiallary battery doesn’t receive any charging from the altenator. Many lift gate systems drain power even when down in use. This can lead to a dead battery when the driver starts to use the lift gate at the first stops of their day.

Flexible Solar Panel Kits for RV & Marine Applications Flexible 55 watt solar panel. Flexible Solar Panel Kits are designed to provide a powerful charging solution for batteries and conform to almost any surface. Unlike other ‘flexible’ products, these use high-efficiency mono-crystalline cells that produce more power per square foot than any other flexible panel on the market. An impermeable lamination coats the entire module, allowing it to contour and flex against curved areas, eliminating any need for custom mounts.
