Uni-Solar ‘Flexible Solar Laminate’
Flexible PV laminate with a 5, 11 & 32W ratings
Manufacturer's model nos: FLX-5, FLX-11 and FLX-32
The FLX-5 is sized to maintain 12 volt batteries. Provides up to 13 amp-hours (ideal conditions) per week of 12 volt battery recharging and automatically compensates for battery self discharge.
The FLX-11 produces up to 26 amp-hours (ideal conditions) per week of recharging to meet your weekend long loads. It extends battery life for bilge pump operation and average trolling motor applications. Sized to match many hatchway covers and weighs only two pounds. Reduces risk of being caught with a dead battery.
The FLX-32 is a heavy duty power source that can provide more than 80 amp-hours (ideal conditions) per week of battery charging to meet demands for lighting, radios, stereos, and even water pump operation. Use multiple FLX-32's to operate refrigeration and water purification units.
Each panel comes with 96 in./2438 mm of tinned wire with a 2-pin SAE-connector and is packaged with a 24 in./610 mm fused battery cable. An extension cable of 120 in./3050 mm is also available (two extension cables max). Typically the solar panel is connected directly to the battery. It can also be connected to any point on the electrical system where 12 volt is present. If a charge controller is used, it is placed in the line between the solar panel and the battery. Bypass diodes are connected across each cell, allowing the modules to produce power even when partially shaded. A blocking diode is included within each potted junction box (edge connector) to prevent battery discharge into the module. The cell assembly is sealed in flexible and durable weather resistant polymers that provide long life
and high reliability.
