Solar Technology 20W Flexi Solar Panel Kit
Semi-Flexible & Lightweight | Complete 12V Charging Solution
The Solar Technology 20W Flexi Solar Panel Kit offers a robust and lightweight solution for charging 12V batteries in various mobile and off-grid applications. This semi-flexible photovoltaic panel is engineered for durability and ease of installation, making it ideal for environments where traditional rigid panels are unsuitable.
Featuring an advanced ETFE top layer, the panel boasts self-healing properties against minor abrasions and provides an anti-slip surface, enhancing its resilience in demanding conditions such as marine or campervan use. The kit includes a 10A charge controller, providing a complete system for efficient and safe battery charging.
KIT INCLUDES: 20W Semi-Flexible Solar Panel & 10A Charge Controller.
Key Features
| ▶ ETFE Self-Healing Surface — Provides exceptional durability and resistance to minor abrasions, extending panel lifespan. |
| ▶ Completely Waterproof Design — Six-layer heavy-duty laminate and silicon-injected junction box ensure protection in extreme weather. |
| ▶ Superior Adhesion & Safety — Rounded corners, curved junction box, and strain relief for the 4m UV stabilised PV cable prevent snagging and enhance reliability. |
| ▶ Versatile Installation Options — Can be bonded to flat or slightly curved surfaces (up to 3cm curve per metre) or mechanically fixed using pre-drilled holes. |
| ▶ Lightweight & Ultra-Thin Profile — At just 0.79kg and 4mm thick, it's easy to handle and integrate without adding significant bulk. |

Built-In Protection & Durability
The Solar Technology Flexi panel is designed for longevity and performance in challenging environments. Its ETFE top layer provides a self-healing memory effect against minor abrasions and offers an anti-slip surface. • The panel's construction ensures complete encapsulation of the solar cells, with a six-layer heavy-duty laminate protecting against extreme conditions. • The junction box is injected with special silicon to guarantee no water ingress, and its unique curved design with mechanical fixing and strain relief for the cable enhances overall reliability and safety.
Common Questions
What can a 20W solar panel power?
A 20W solar panel is primarily suitable for trickle charging 12V batteries or powering very small, low-consumption 12V devices. It can help maintain battery health and provide supplementary power for items like LED lights, phone chargers, or small pumps over extended periods. It is not designed for high-power appliances.
How is this flexible solar panel installed?
The Flexi panel can be installed by bonding it directly to flat or slightly curved surfaces (up to 3cm curve per metre) using a suitable adhesive like Simson ISR 70-03. Alternatively, it can be mechanically fixed using the pre-drilled 4.5mm holes. It is crucial to ensure proper airflow underneath the panel to prevent heat build-up.
Is a charge controller included with this kit?
Yes, the Solar Technology 20W Flexi Solar Panel Kit includes a 10A charge controller. This controller is essential for regulating the voltage and current from the solar panel to your 12V battery, preventing overcharging and optimising battery lifespan.
Installation Notes
- Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from debris before bonding or fixing.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommended adhesive pattern to allow for adequate airflow beneath the panel, preventing heat build-up and potential warping.
- Position the panel in an area that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day, avoiding shaded spots.
- Connect the solar panel to the included 10A charge controller, and then connect the controller to your 12V battery, following the correct polarity.
- For permanent installations, consider consulting a qualified installer to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Before You Buy
- Verify your power requirements: A 20W panel is suitable for light charging needs. For higher power demands, consider larger panels or multiple units.
- Confirm system voltage: This kit is designed for 12V battery systems.
- Assess mounting location: Ensure you have a suitable flat or slightly curved surface for installation, with good sun exposure.
- Review included components: This kit provides the 20W flexible panel and a 10A charge controller. Additional cabling or battery connections may be required depending on your setup.
Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing system before purchase. All technical data is based on standard test conditions (STC).
