  • PowerFilm Foldable and Rollable Solar Panels: These thin, flexible, high-tech panels are designed to generate electricity even in cloudy, shady, and hazy environments and deliver proven performance in low-light conditions. They are perfect for keeping your batteries topped off when operating portable or for any activity where you want to keep batteries charged without the noise of a generator. The weather-resistant nylon fabric on the back side of the panels provide protection whether the panel is in use or being stored. Grommets on the corners of the panel keep it secure to prevent damage in high winds.

    A charge controller is not required if the battery capacity is 100x greater than the panel output. For example, a 100Ah battery would not need a charge controller if the panel output is 1A or less. If a charge controller is required, it should be sized according to the output of the panel.

    Rollable panels are available in outputs from 7 to 60 watts. Foldable models come in outputs from 20 to 220 watts.
