Robust ETFE surface
The ETFE top layer - plus bottom layer in the flexi Double ETFE panel range - gives the solar panels resilience in really tough conditions. During production, the ETFE is dimpled to optimise solar generation.
Completely waterproof
Each panel is assembled to ensure complete encapsulation. This ensures the six layer heavy duty laminate protects the solar cell circuit from extreme conditions. The junction box is also injected with special silicon, guaranteeing no water ingress.
Salt water and UV tested and certified
The PV Logic range of flexi panels has passed the most rigorous testing to ensure long term performance in the harshest of environments. Tested to ASTM B117- ISO 9227 in an independent laboratory, a PV Logic flexi panel has been placed in a sealed tank and saltwater spray jetted at the panel for 1000 hours. This is in addition to accelerated Ultraviolet (UV) weather testing.
Superior design
There are no square edges on a PV Logic flexi panel. Rounded corners and a unique curved junction box provide superior adhesion, no snag lamination and no sharp edges. The junction box is mechanically fixed in addition to being bonded to the panel. Strain relief is provided for the fitted UV stabilised PV cable ensuring it cannot be accidentally pulled from the junction box.
Neat fit with rear exit option
The 125W and 180W solar panels in the PV Logic flexi Double ETFE range and the 100W, 120W and 150W models in the standard range have the option of a rear cable exit. This allows a completely flush finish without any top mounted protrusions.
Easy fix
The flexi range can be bonded to flat or slightly curved surfaces (3cm curve per metre) such as painted aluminium, metal, GRP and fibreglass using Henkel MS939 elastic adhesive, or similar.
Installation method
Please only use the glue pattern below (this is covered in more detail in the instructions), which ensures air flow under the panel is achieved preventing heat build-up and potential warping under extreme heat.
Cells protected from hotspots
Where the panels are on a camper van or boat, partial shading of a solar panel is typical. In these circumstances heat build-up and damaging hot spots can occur leading to a significantly reduced life cycle of the panel.
The larger 60w to 180W panels have up to two shading diodes housed within the fully waterproof junction box to prevent this. The rear exit options in the PV Logic flexi range include a separate shading diode to fit between the panel and the charge controller.
