Twin pack - 80W Semi-Flexible Solar Panel

The twin pack includes two 80W PV Logic semi-flexible solar panels. Delivering up to 480W per day, the 80W semi-flexible solar panel can fully charge an 85Ah battery on a sunny day in the UK summer. Perfect for off grid caravans, boats, motorhomes and a good choice where a smaller amount of power is needed during the dark days of winter. The 80W panel is a standard fit on some motorhomes, camper vans and boats. NOTE – A charge controller will be needed to protect a battery from reverse feed and overcharging. ... View more

PV Logic Semi-Flexible solar panels are the ultimate choice for flat or slightly curved surfaces.

Benefit from the semi-flexible panel's self-healing top surface

The ETFE top layer gives the PV Logic semi-flexible extra resilience in really tough conditions. ETFE has a memory effect or self-healing capacity in the event the panel comes into contact with branches etc, thus ensuring any slight abrasions are ‘healed’ within a few hours. The semi-flexible range can even be walked on with soft deck shoes! During production the ETFE is dimpled to further protect the panel and provide an anti-slip surface, particularly useful if the panel is fitted to a boat deck.

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.

Cells protected from hot spots

Where used 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 and above PV Logic semi-flexible panels have up to two shading diodes housed within the fully waterproof junction box to prevent this occurrence.

Superior design

There are no square edges on a PV Logic semi-flexible solar panel! Rounded panel 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 4m UV stabilised PV cable ensuring it cannot be accidentally pulled from the junction box. 

Easy fix

The semi-flexible range can be bonded to flat or slight curved surfaces (3cm curve per metre) such as painted aluminium, metal, GRP and fibreglass using Simson ISR 70-03. The aluminium layer is also pre-drilled with 4.5mm holes should the panel need to be mechanically fixed as well as or instead of bonding.

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.

Add a controller

The PV Logic range of charge controllers includes the 10A and 20A dual battery PWM charge controllers and, for the ultimate in rapid solar charging, there is the all new MPPT Pro Plus.

The MPPT Pro charge controller increases solar yield by up to 20% over a standard charge controller by artificially modifying the voltage from s solar panel system to actively match any battery's requirements. This means that whatever the weather conditions your panels will deliver maximum power with minimum electrical loss.

The MPPT charge controller comes with its very own free-to-download Bluetooth app (Apple and Android) to display how the solar system is performing. The app software links your smartphone to the MPPT Pro and shows performance figures for your leisure battery.

Warranty

2-year panel warranty 

Please note 

All of our semi flexible panels will only bend from the top (has the cable and logos) to the bottom a maximum of 10% of panel length.
Bending the panel greater than this, or trying to bend the panel from left to right will possibly damage the panel and also invalidate your warranty.
