Description
- 【Light weight 】One solar panel only 2.3lbs, 0.03inch thin, less 70% than conventional solar panels, easy to transport, hang and remove.
- 【Extremely Flexible】The flexible solar panel can be curved to a maximum 30 degree arc. This flexible solar panel is perfect to be installed on any off-grid living space with curved surfacessuch as roofs, campers, trailers, boats, cabins, sheds, tents, yachts or any other irregular surface.
- 【High-quality material】Using ETFE material, which has better light transmission and durability.
- 【Highly durable】The DOKIO flexible solar panel can withstand high wind-pressure, snow loads and extreme temperatures. And the component contains a bypass diode ,uses input over current protection and reverse protection design.
- 【Easy-Installation】Four metal grommet mounting holes help you install easily and quickly,flexible solar panel can be hung with hooks or can be securely attached to a surface using an adhesive.

Could not go wrong for the price during prime day

While these were intended for attaching to the roof of an RV or camper, I was replacing 12-year-old glass panel sets, 3 on my side porch roof and 2 “portable” (yeah, they could be moved around but were HEAVY) ones in my front yard (that’s where the sun is). Therefore, there really wasn’t anything to glue them to. Instead, I used PVC pipes and built frames for them, attaching them to the frames with plastic wire ties. I bought 4 of these panels and built 2 frames, each frame to hold 2 panels. See attached photo of first finished frame. They weigh so little even with the PVC pipe frames that I can pick up and carry both frames with ONE HAND. I use them both in the front yard and store them in the garage overnight to prevent theft (light weight makes them easy to steal, too!) and so they’re not knocked over by the wind. BTW, being knocked over doesn’t break them like the old glass ones.
They are also pumping out a great deal of power, so much so that there’s no need to put any on the side porch. These 4 panels plus 2 more on order for a third frame all in the front yard during the day give me more power than I expected. Even in hazy sun they produced 22.4 amps at 12-14 volts. With clear skies it’s 18-19 amps. With the 3rd frame I expect to get near the 30 amp max my charge controller can take. The batteries will stay charged and I can run the refrigerator all day plus electronics. Sweet!

I got ready to install these on my camper. I tested them on the roof before mounting them and noticed one of the panels was not working. One of the panels has developed burn holes in it and now I am hesitant to install either of the panels on my camper. I hope I can work out a warranty replacement with Dokio.

Great price and works well on the roof of my truck canopy to charge my aux battery system

I ordered 10 of these panels, and out of ten two do not produce any power at all, and a third had a bus bar end sticking out from the wire connection box. Fortunately, Amazon made an easy exchange but certainly require testing and inspection of all panels before any installation. All panels have inconsistent amount of over application of adhesive around the wire entry box with some looking messy even if functional and weathertight. Most electronics have a defect of one in a million or less, but this product clearly lacks quality control and has inconsistent production quality as is visible from panel to panel. While all of the boxes arrived in new, unopened and good condition, all of the panels have areas of many scratch marks on the surface, some light gouges or scrapes, and some with bent corners. the scratch marks are significant and only in certain areas that is inconsistent with scratching from within the box during shipment. Since all of the boxes appear to be in new condition from the factory, with factory box tape on all edges, and the foam packaging in good condition, I can only assume that these scratches, gouges in the surface, and the bent corners were created before or during being boxed at the factory, again indicating very low concern or care for quality. The panels themselves seem to be well made, but the grommets and corners are a little too weak as they are easily compressed with even light screw tightening and also too large of a hole diameter for even a #10 screw head to fully cover, and the panels can use another pair of grommets along the middle of each long edge to ensure hold down. I tested all panels to produce about 19.2-19.5 volts on a fairly sunny day. The MC4 connectors seem fine, and wire lengths long enough, and the photovoltaic cells and thin busbars seem high quality but the quality control of the product that gets packed seems very low, which may be an indicator of this panels longevity or performance over time. I’ll try to add more after some extended usage.

These panels are lighter in weight than rigid ones. More documentation or description would have been nice. They have MC4 connectors, which would have been nice to know for planning purposes.
I easily got 75 watts out of each panel on a partly cloudy day.

Great output. Not sure how durable they will be but very happy so far. DC2 is the dokios, DC1 is 3x400w bouge rv 10bb fixed panels

I have used these Dokio panels on previous RV’s and they have held up well and seem to work as well as the hard panels. The ones I used first in about 2016, are still going strong. Mount on the roof with Eternabond Tape along all edges. Use the Eternabond cleaner or brake cleaner to prep TPO roof, then spray area with Eternabond Prep before putting down the tape. Also, thes panels will not catch the wind as raised mounted hard panels will!

Works super well with the aimtom 500watt battery station. The cords are on the front of the panel which was a weird design choice in my opinion but changes very little in the way of it functioning. Charges up my battery fast!

My two 100 watt panels were shipped quickly and securely packaged. The panels are lightweight and easy to mount, but not particularly robust. They are easy to scratch even when handled with much care. They are prone to damage from eve light winds if not completely secured.
Neither of my 100 watt panels has been able to yield more than 39 watts, even when mounted next to another 100 watt panel that was yielding 70+ watts in the same conditions.
I like these flexible units for charging my RV batteries without having to leave my more expensive and productive panels out when I am not around, but I do wish these units were more efficient.

Wanted to add to existing panels on 5th wheel. These panels are very thin and lightweight. Puts out rated power on each panel. Wired in series and added to existing strings. Now have 1200 watts of power at 75volts into charge controller. That should keep lithium’s charged while boondocking. Only been on about a week. So will update after upcoming trip to Sierras.
