Its robust construction and high-efficiency cells ensure reliable power output in various conditions. Aspect Guidance Battery Charging Requires a suitable solar charge controller to regulate voltage and current for 12V battery charging. Direct connection to a battery is not recommended. Direct Power Supply Can be used for direct power supply applications not sensitive to variations in input voltage/current, such as certain electric motors or pumps. System Integration Compatible with various off-grid, back-up, and certain grid-tie solar power systems when integrated with appropriate inverters and charge controllers. Typical Applications Application Description Motorhomes & Caravans Provides reliable power for leisure batteries, ideal for curved roofs and discreet installation. Boats & Marine Use High resistance to salt water and sealed design makes it suitable for marine environments. Off-Grid Systems Powers remote cabins, sheds, or backup systems where grid connection is unavailable. Solar Lighting & Pumps Suitable for powering 12V outdoor lighting, water pumps, or other low-power DC applications. Built-In Protection & Durability The Photonic Universe 150W semi-flexible solar panel is built for long-term outdoor reliability. Its robust construction features fibreglass reinforcement, providing exceptional strength and resistance to physical stress. The advanced ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) surface coating offers superior UV stability, chemical resistance, and a longer service life compared to standard PET-coated panels. This textured ETFE surface also acts as an anti-reflective layer, enhancing light absorption and overall efficiency, especially in challenging light conditions. The panel's sealed, waterproof design ensures reliable operation in all weather, while its high resistance to salt water makes it particularly suitable for marine and coastal environments. Common Questions Does this panel require a charge controller? Yes, for charging 12V batteries, a solar charge controller is essential. It regulates the voltage and current from the panel to prevent overcharging and damage to your battery. The panel cannot be connected directly to a battery. How is this panel installed? The semi-flexible design allows for bonding to curved surfaces using a suitable adhesive. It can also be fixed using bolts or screws. For a flush-mounted finish with the rear junction box, a recess must be cut into the mounting surface. What are the benefits of ETFE coating? ETFE coating provides superior durability, UV resistance, and a longer lifespan compared to traditional PET films. It is also self-cleaning, less prone to cracking, delamination, and corrosion, ensuring consistent performance over time. Can this panel be walked on? While the fibreglass reinforcement adds strength, it is generally recommended to avoid walking directly on solar panels to prevent potential damage to the cells or surface, especially if mounted on a flexible substrate without full rigid support. Installation Notes Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. For flush mounting, a recess must be carefully cut to accommodate the rear junction box. Use appropriate marine-grade or outdoor-rated adhesives and sealants for bonding. Connect the panel to a suitable solar charge controller before connecting to a battery. Follow all local electrical codes and safety guidelines during installation. Consult a qualified installer if unsure about any aspect of the installation process. Before You Buy Verify the panel's dimensions (1080 x 710 x 2 mm) fit your intended mounting area. Confirm you have a compatible 12V solar charge controller for your battery type and capacity. Consider the total power requirements of your system to ensure 150W is sufficient. Plan for cable routing and ensure proper sealing for waterproof integrity. Understand that a recess is required for a truly flush installation with the rear junction box. Review the detailed instruction manual for wiring and operational guidance. All specifications are subject to standard testing conditions. Please verify compatibility with your existing solar system components before purchase. This product comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty covering material and production defects.
