Offgridtec PCB-ETFE 100W 39V semi-flexible solar panel

Offgridtec’s PCB-ETFE 100W 36V (MPN 3-01-010835) belongs to the latest generation of semi-flexible solar panels. The PCB-ETFE class sets completely new standards in the area of ​​stability and reliability through the composition of the highest quality materials. While the front is based on Teflon Derivative (PTFE), the back is made of fiberglass (PCB). The ACM module works with 156 mono cells from Solarworld and modern 3-busbar technology. These and other quality features make Offgridtec’s PCB-ETFE 100W a universally applicable top-class product that feels just as comfortable on boats as it does on vehicle roofs or other surfaces and combines stability, maximum reliability and performance like no other.

Thanks to its high operating voltage of 36V, it is ideal for 24V systems or 12V systems (12V only in connection with MPPT charge controllers that can process a corresponding maximum module voltage ) suitable. The PCB-ETFE 100W 12V solar cell is flexible and, compared to normal flexible solar cells, can also be walked on without hesitation if it is glued over the entire surface.

Technical characteristics PCB-ETFE 100W 36V solar panel

100W rated power, high efficiency and 3-busbar technology
equipped with monocrystalline A-grade ACM 156 solar cells from Solarworld©
higher heat tolerance compared to TPT modules thanks to the PCB backsheet, making it less susceptible to blistering due to poor bonding
can be walked on and is even more slip-resistant than comparable solar modules on the market, even when wet
semi-flexible – bendable up to a maximum of 15 degrees
Easy installation of the solar panel by gluing or using the eyelets
suitable for salt water without restrictions, universally applicable
ETFE High-Tec plastic ensures weight savings and at the same time high light transmission of max. 96%
Junction box with high degree of protection IP67
easy installation thanks to pre-assembled solar cable with MC4 plug and socket
proven Offgridtec quality: made exclusively from premium raw materials of the highest quality
ETFE high-tec plastic on the front

The front of the solar panel is covered with a high-tech plastic layer which is based on ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer ETFE – a Teflon derivative (PTFE) – and offers excellent Protection against harmful environmental influences and is also suitable for use in salt water. ETFE is lighter and at the same time more translucent than other plastic solutions on the market.

Extremely stable fiberglass (PCB) carrier plate as back

The fiberglass (PCB) backing makes the module much more stable than conventional panels with TPT backing.This structure offers you the following advantages:

prevents blistering that can occur with TPT modules due to incorrect bonding
can withstand higher temperatures compared to the TPT structure
reduces the risk of cell breakage caused by accidental overbending of the panel by the user
