Description
- Extremely Flexible: The minimum radius of the arc that a 100 watts flexible solar panel can reach is 45cm (17.7 in). It is capable of meeting a wide range of applications where standard solar panels can be inconvenient to mount, suitable for off-grid applications that include trailers, boats, cabins, tents, cars, trucks, trailers, yachts, trailers, RV, camper, marine, residential rooftop, or any other irregular surface.
- Lightweight & Easy to Install: It is only 0.1 inches in height and weighs only 4.4LB (2KG), the solar panel is easy to transport, install, hang and remove. The metal pre-drilled holes and PV solar connectors help you install easily and quickly.
- 9 Busbars Solar Cell, High Conversion Efficiency: 9BB & A Grade Monocrystalline silicon solar cell provides high conversion efficiency up to 23%. The narrower busbar space and more cells receiving surface bring lower cost and increase the output of the PV module. Compared with 5BB panel, the 9BB solar panel ensures lower risks of microcracks and longer service life.
- Waterproof & Dustproof: This flexible solar panel is equipped with IP67-rated junction box to effectively block water splashes and dust from outside, making it perfect to be used outdoors. It is much more durable than traditional glass and aluminum model solar panels.
- Excellent Quality: The flexible solar panel is made of ETFE material, which has a higher light transmission and longer service life than ordinary materials. The back panel is made of TPT, which is good for heat dissipation, waterproof, high temperature resistant and easy to clean.

This product arrived quickly and in minimal waste packaging. These flexible solar panels are a must have. They are not to expensive when it comes to solar panels and they are perfect to have for living off the grid or in case of an emergency. having solar panels to charge a battery or to charge your electronics is so important and these solar panels do a great job. i was able to hook this up to a battery i use to power random items like, phones, power banks and other rechargeable items. As long as I keep the battery plugged in it is always full. you do need to ensure that the solar panels have full direct sun but as long as they do it does a good job at charging the battery.

Wir haben das Solarpanel angeschafft, da mein Mann u.a. unsere E-Bikes laden will (12 V).
Installiert ist das Panel schnell. Man benötigt hierzu ein Kabel, was die Batterie mit dem Regler und den Regler dann mit der Batterie verbindet. So einen Laderegler bekommt man schon für etwa 20 Euro.
Das Panel macht einen stabilen, guten Eindruck. Es lässt sich ausreichend biegen ohne zu brechen. Für uns war das jedoch nicht relevant, da es an einer Wand befestigt ist.
Wir haben jetzt Ende April und das Panel etwa 6 Wochen. Ein paar Tage lang hatten wir das Glück, dass die Sonne auf das Panel schien. Dann war die Leistung recht gut, nahm aber bei gefühltem Dauerregen und Wolken dann deutlich ab, was logisch ist. Hier war nicht daran zu denken, die Batterie des E-Bikes voll aufzuladen, was bei Sonne gut funktionierte. Auch konnte ich meinen Laptop damit laden, als ich im Garten saß und gearbeitet habe.
Allgemein würden sich mit Sicherheit 200 W besser machen. Doch nur zum Batterieladen wäre uns diese Anschaffung zu teuer. Wasserfestigkeit kann ich definitiv bestätigen aufgrund des oben erwähnten Wetters.
Das Solarpanel ist für unsere gerade Wand geeignet. Ein biegsames Panel wie dieses macht meines Erachtens allerdings wirklich Sinn, wenn man es auch an rundliche Untergründe anbringen möchte (z.B. Wohnwagen, gebogenes Balkongeländer etc.).

The panel puts out the right voltage to charge a 12V battery. So far I’ve set up a test system with this panel charging a battery and inverter with the inverter output going through a transfer switch that automatically switches to the battery when the grid goes down. It’s all working. The panel is light and slightly flexible. I’m happy with it.

Hurricanes and power outages are an almost annual occurrence for me, so I recently ordered several different portable power banks for keeping my electronics charged up when the power is out. The only problem with the power out, of course, is how to keep the power banks charged up! ALL of them included solar panel charging ports — makes sense! — so I decided to give this solar panel a try. The main feature of this panel for me is its thinness and light weight, which does not take up much space in my storage room the vast majority of the time I won’t be using it. The fact that it’s waterproof is also a must, for anything that will be sitting outside in the weather and rain during hurricane season.
Tip: The solar panel is waterproof, but whatever you are charging probably isn’t, so make sure it and all electrical connections are covered in case it rains.
The panel is easy to set up and use. You can set or hang this on just about any flat surface. You will need either an adapter cable like I used (see photos), or a solar charge controller to connect to whatever you are using this for, unless it includes the standard MC4 connectors. I checked the voltage, and the output on this unit was right at 20V in full sunlight. Charging my 155Wh power bank under sunny conditions, it took 3 hours to charge it from 24% to 100% — just about the same as the wall charger. I am one happy customer!
TIP: Apparently there are polarity issues with some of the available adapter cables. If you buy one, use a multitester to make sure the positive and negative voltages are not reversed before you connect it to anything. I purchased a PAEKQ Solar Panel to 5.5×2.1mm Adapter Cable (see photos) and it worked great and had no reported polarity issues.
I truly hope NOT to be using this product very often(!), but it is working perfectly so far and has made me confident that it will keep me “charged up” the next time the power is out. I recommend this.

I was surprised to see a 100 watt flexible panel for this price as most are at least 40 to 50 dollars more with recent inflation. But when I hooked it up to my test charger I can see why.
Wattage, voltage, and current are all related. To get the wattage of a panel, you simply multiply the voltage and the current to get the wattage. So when you see a panel rated at 19.1 volts, you are going to see a bit less current than a panel rated at 18 volts, about 5.2 amps for the first panel vs. about 5.56 for the second.
Most 100 watt panels I have tested tend to be rated at 5.4 to 5.7 amps and usually I can get between 92-95% of the rated values. A couple have actually come in right on the specs. However differences in components and losses due to wiring usually prevent 100 percent efficiency.
While this panel does come in pretty close to the spec’d values, I was a bit disappointed that I was barely able to get 5 amps of current at 95 watts in direct sun. My charge controller does not allow me to see direct panel voltage, it only reads the voltage stepped down which in my controllers case is about 13.1 volts. I did put my volt meter on the inputs to the controller and saw about 19.3 volts.
The panel is pretty flexible and the mounting holes make it easy if you want to mount it to a surface using hooks or screws. I plan on using adhesive and mounting it directly on a flat roof surface on my RV to keep my batteries charged in the off season.
Its a decent panel and it does seem well made. Flexibility is good and it does perform pretty much to it’s spec’d value, I just wish the current output was about 10% better.

Bringt nur etwas 50% der Nennleistung, während ein anderes flexibles Pannel daneben über 75% Leistung bringt.
Enttäuschend, ging zurück.

I like that this panel is thin and lightweight. It is easy to store when not in use. It is flexible, but not fold/roll it up and put it away flexible. It has 6 gromet holes to help you secure it in place. This panel also has an IP67 waterproof rating for both the panel and the junction box, so you don’t have to worry about wind, rain, dust, etc.
My only real negative for this panel is that I am not sure how being flexible matters where this panel is concerned. It is not so flexible and to be able to bend or roll up, so you can only use it on slight curves. It is a little more difficult to keep in place because it is flexible, and I am not sure that the flexibility it has is worth the extra hassle.
This panel puts out a decent amount of power and is enough to charge a battery, run some lights or power something like a radio in the event of an emergency. Just be sure that you have all the needed wires, batteries and accessories to do so.

I ordered the Topunive 100W Flexible Solar Panel as a way to power LED lights inside my motorcycle trailer as well as a power tool occassionally, when needed. I will include a controller and inverter for any 120V devices while using 12V power for LEDs inside and out. Using a gland to get cabling and current through the roof and to the battery bank. Should be a slick little addition to an already fairly-tricked out trailer. And, I hope the solar panel delivers the described 23% efficiency.
