Photonic Universe FLPRO Series 210W Mono Fibreglass Semi-Flexible Solar Panelwith Self-Adhesive Backing High-Efficiency Monocrystalline | Made in Austria | UK Solar Applications The Photonic Universe 210W Mono Fibreglass Semi-Flexible Solar Panel (FLPRO-210M) is a high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panel designed for permanent outdoor use, providing reliable free electricity for charging 12V batteries in various applications. Manufactured in Austria to high European quality standards, this panel is ideal for installations on curved surfaces such as boat decks, caravan roofs, motorhomes, and RVs, thanks to its adaptable semi-flexible design. Featuring a special textured surface, this panel significantly reduces light reflection and enhances performance in low light or cloudy conditions, as well as when light falls at an angle. Its robust construction, utilising fibreglass-reinforced plastic, ensures durability and resilience, making it suitable for demanding environments, including those with high salt water exposure. Buyer Note: For charging 12V batteries with this 24V Vmp panel, a 20A MPPT solar charge controller is required for optimal efficiency. Using a standard PWM controller will significantly reduce charging performance.

Key Design & Safety Features This Photonic Universe solar panel incorporates several design and safety features to ensure reliable and long-lasting performance: • Waterproof Design: Fully sealed construction ensures reliable operation in all weather conditions, protecting internal components from moisture ingress. • Robust Fibreglass Construction: The use of fibreglass-reinforced plastic provides exceptional durability and resistance to environmental stressors, including impacts and vibrations. • IEC Certified: Conforms to international electrical safety and performance standards, assuring quality and reliability. • High Salt Water Resistance: Specifically designed to withstand corrosive salt water environments, making it ideal for marine applications. Common Questions Q: Can this panel charge a 12V battery directly? A: No, a solar charge controller is always required to regulate the voltage and current from the solar panel to the battery. For optimal efficiency with this 24V Vmp panel in a 12V battery system, a 20A MPPT controller is recommended. Q: How is this panel installed? A: The panel features a self-adhesive backing for direct, peel-and-stick application to a clean, dry surface. For enhanced security or in high-vibration environments, it can also be fastened using self-tapping screws, tenax fasteners, or zipping (fasteners not supplied). Q: Is this panel suitable for marine environments? A: Yes, its robust construction and high resistance to salt water make it particularly well-suited for boats, yachts, and other marine applications where exposure to harsh conditions is common. Q: What does "semi-flexible" mean? A: A semi-flexible solar panel can conform to gentle curves, typically up to a certain degree, making it ideal for mounting on slightly curved surfaces like vehicle roofs. It should not be bent sharply, folded, or subjected to repeated extreme flexing, as this can damage the solar cells. Installation Notes ✓ Ensure the mounting surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from grease or debris before applying the self-adhesive backing for optimal adhesion. ✓ For permanent installations or applications in high-vibration environments, consider using additional mechanical fasteners alongside the adhesive for enhanced security. ✓ Always connect the solar panel to a suitable solar charge controller before connecting to your battery bank to prevent overcharging and ensure system safety. ✓ Avoid sharp bends or excessive flexing of the panel during installation and use to prevent potential damage to the internal solar cells. Before You Buy ✓ Verify your system voltage requirements; this panel has a 24V Vmp and is best paired with an MPPT controller for efficient charging of 12V or 24V battery banks. ✓ Measure your intended mounting area carefully to ensure the panel dimensions (1274 x 1020 x 2 mm) are suitable for your application. ✓ Consider the total power consumption of your appliances to determine if a single 210W panel is sufficient or if multiple panels are required for your energy needs. ✓ If you are unsure about system design, electrical connections, or installation specifics, it is always advisable to consult with a qualified solar installer. Please ensure all specifications and compatibility requirements are verified before purchase. This product comes with a 2-year workmanship warranty, covering material and production defects. The solar cells are guaranteed to produce at least 90% of nominal power in 10 years and 80% in 25 years after purchase, provided by the manufacturer of the solar cells.
