Flexible solar panels

Thanks to their low weight and thinness, flexible solar panels are ideal for nomadic lifestyles (boats, motorhomes, vehicles, shelters/chalets). Their waterproof and compact junction box allows them to be glued or fixed to uneven surfaces. Cell encapsulation technology (e.g. silicon "back contact") provides high efficiency, quick installation and easy transport.

Choose in 30 seconds

  • Mobile use (boat/caravan): opt for a lightweight, flexible panel that is easy to install.
  • Installation on curved surfaces: choose a flexible model that can be stuck or fixed in place.
  • Battery charging: check that your installation is correctly sized for battery charging (often 12V for mobile use).
  • Durability: look for a waterproof casing and a design intended for outdoor use.

FAQ – Flexible solar panels

1. What are flexible solar panels best suited for? +
Flexible solar panels are designed for mobile use: boats, campervans, vehicles, shelters/cabins. Their main advantage is their low weight and thin profile, making them easy to carry, handle and install.
2. Can a flexible solar panel be installed on a curved surface? +
Yes—this is one of the key benefits. Bonded or fixed installation can suit non-flat surfaces, with a compact, waterproof junction box.
3. How do I size a flexible solar panel for mobile use? +
Sizing depends on your consumption and expected production. To quickly estimate the required power, use the Solar Simulator.
4. What is the “back contact” technology mentioned on some models? +
The page mentions cell encapsulation (e.g. back-contact silicon) aimed at high efficiency and a solution that is easier to install and transport.
5. What should I check before buying a flexible solar panel? +
Check your use case (mobile or not), the surface (flat/curved), the presence of a waterproof junction box, and confirm the sizing using the Solar Simulator.
