The SPECTRAFLEX flexible solar panel features a spectrum
splitting amorphous silicon cell design that converts very
low levels of light to useable solar energy. Unlike other
types of amorphous silicon technology the SPECTRAFLEX is
very stable over many years where others degrade rapidly
soon after deployment. Bypass diodes are connected
across each cell so the panel is also shadow tolerant.
It is a highly flexible panel constructed using UV stabilised
polymers, bonded and stitched to a cushioned backing
material. The whole unit can be rolled to a diameter of
just 30cm for storage and in use placed on to curved
sail booms, caravan roofs or coach roofs.

Solar energy gives you the
convenience of power being available for
engine starting, lighting and other low
energy applicances. Once installed the
photovoltaic solar panel works quietly and
efficiently at recharging without any effort
on your part !
Whether you choose the Spectraflex or others
from the Spectralite range you will find
them ideal for topping up 12V deep cycle
batteries in leisure applications. In wintertime
you can avoid the trouble of taking
batteries home to maintain them and
replace natural discharge by simply installing
a solar panel to suit the battery capacity,
weather conditions and location of your
battery.
What size of solar panel do I need?
In the UK we recommend a minimum ratio
of 10W (Watts) of solar panel to every
100Ah capacity of battery to replace natural
discharge typically experienced over the
winter time. In the summer time that 10W
solar panel’s performance increases to a
potential 3 Ampere hours (Ah) per day and
therefore 21Ampere hours (Ah) weekly -
that’s often enough for a weekend’s
electrical needs for lighting etc.
Most importantly you’ll arrive to a
battery that is not flat!
