In defence of semi-flexible solar panels

[Painter Type]

Just wanted to pass on that I am satisfied with the semi-flexible solar panel I installed. I read a lot of negative posts about them, but went ahead and got one anyway as I didnt want a rigid panel on my roof.

 

I bought a reasonably priced 130W panel from Bimble and stuck it down with Tiger Seal. The wires pop through a mushroom vent and connect to a Tracer MPPT charge controller. The whole bit of kit is functioning well. As the panel is installed longitudinally the junction box is suitable protected by its proximity to a mushroom vent.

 

I am not worried about what might be happening under the solar panel, just made sure there was a waterproof seal around the panel.

 

I was waiting for the Macclesfield to open at Bollington a little while ago and was moored up for a week or so without running my engine once, and there was plenty of ice from the fridge.

 

Cheers
