Sunman eArc 215W Half Cut Shade Flexible Solar Panel

Product Description

Sunman eArc 215W Half Cut Shade Flexible Solar Panel, 5 Year Warranty.  New Half cut design using the latest M6 monocrystalline passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) cells reduces internal resistance and creates two independant strings within the panel.  Effectively reducing the effect of shading when on one side. PERC cells improve the year round performance compared to conventional cells as some of the light that hits the back of the cell is reflected back and converted to current.

These lightweight yet robust solar panels are perfect for caravans, motorhomes, yachts, trains, buses and other applications.

Made with a Patent Pending composite material similar to those used in airplane windows.  These panels are tough enough to be approved by the Clean Energy Council for residential use yet they don't have a heavy, rigid frame or glass. Click the Features tab for more information.

The junction box cover clips to the junction box, however it will require some form of adhesion such as Fix8.

Mounting Options:

• The vented gap (height increase of ~15mm) improves panel efficiency and reduces heating of the mounting surface. This method also allows the junction box to sit underneath the panel. This includes:
  • One roll of very high bond double sided adhesive tape
  • Polycarbonate strips
• Installation via very high bond double sided adhesive tape provides a low profile secure bond.
• The Bi-Adhesive Backing includes a continuous sheet of 1mm bi-adhesive material over the whole back of the panel for mounting on smooth surfaces with no bumps or dips.  Installation then becomes a simple peel and stick. 
• A structural silicone (Fix8) can be used to adhere the panel to a surface.
• The panel can be secured using bolts or screws through eyelets in the panel.

eArc are the only lightweight solar panels approved for grid connect on buildings which means they have passed the same testing criteria as traditional solar panels.

Featires:

• Cutting edge technology - glass fibre-reinforced composite polymers similar to aircraft windows
  • ​This reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion to a similar level as fixed panels, eliminating the main cause of cause of flexible/lightweight solar panel failures as seen in ETFE and PET panels, thermal expansion related stress causing failure of the cell to cell connections
• Light - 100W frameless is 1.8kg
• Thin - 2mm
• Tough - Hail tested with ice stones of 35mm diameter and 200g mass at 39.5m per sec​
• Strong - rated 2400 pascals for wind and 2400 pascals for load
• Durable - ​10 year product warranty for building and 5 years for mobile application
• ​25 year exposure simulations/tests show degradation of the solar module at similar levels to fixed panels
• Output - Efficient monocrystalline cells, 25 year performance guarantee
• The only lightweight solar panel composition with Clean Energy Council (CEC) Accreditation
