Xantrex 115W Solar Max Flex Slim Panel Product Description
Imagine powering your adventures off-grid without the bulk of rigid solar setups. The Xantrex 115W Solar Max Flex Slim Panel redefines portable solar energy with its ultra-thin design and groundbreaking flexibility. Perfect for those tight spaces on RVs, boats, or trucks where traditional panels just won't fit, this slim powerhouse bends to match curved surfaces while delivering reliable output day after day.
Unmatched Durability Meets High Performance
What sets this panel apart is its innovative mesh grid technology, featuring around 2000 contact points per cell. This isn't just a buzzword—it's engineering that lets the panel flex up to 180 degrees without a drop in efficiency. Whether you're navigating rough seas or bumpy backroads, it holds up far beyond ordinary flexible panels.
Capped with ETFE lamination, a premium material tougher than standard coatings, it shrugs off UV rays, salt spray, bird droppings, and extreme temps from scorching deserts to freezing nights. Rigorous testing—50 times more intense than industry norms—proves it's built for the long haul, harvesting energy even in partial shade or cloudy skies for up to 20% more daily yield than competitors.
- Slim Profile: Barely 2mm thick, mounts seamlessly without adding weight or drag.
- Low-Light Mastery: Optimized cells pull power from dawn haze to dusk twilight.
- Versatile Mounting: Adhesive, screws, or VHB tape for custom fits.
Real-World Power for Your Lifestyle
RVers love how it contours to van roofs, charging batteries silently while you chase horizons. On heavy-duty trucks, it tops cabs to keep tools powered during long hauls. Marine enthusiasts mount it on bimini tops or cabin arches, defying waves and weather. Work trucks and specialty rigs—from food trucks to emergency vehicles—benefit from its rugged vibe, ensuring lights, fridges, and gadgets stay online without generators.
Pro Tip for RV Owners
Pair it with a compatible charge controller to trickle-charge your house batteries overnight, extending boondocking trips by days. Its shade tolerance means tree-lined campsites won't kill your power game.
Marine Edge
ETFE's corrosion resistance laughs at saltwater exposure, outlasting PET-coated alternatives that yellow and crack after a season.
Easy Setup and Zero-Fuss Care
Installation is a breeze—no heavy lifting or complex framing. Clean the surface, apply VHB tape or Z-brackets, connect MC4 leads to your system, and you're generating watts in minutes. For best results, angle it south-facing (or equatorward) at 30-45 degrees, but its flex means it adapts to any roofline.
Maintenance? Wipe with mild soap and a soft cloth quarterly. Avoid abrasives to preserve that crystal-clear ETFE shine. Over years, expect minimal degradation—far less than glass panels that hail can shatter.
- Prep surface: Degrease thoroughly.
- Mount securely: Use marine-grade adhesives for boats.
- Wire up: Positive to controller first, then negative.
- Test output: Multimeter confirms peak performance.
Why Choose Flex Over Rigid?
Rigid panels pack more punch per square foot but demand flat space and add wind resistance. This flex slim model sacrifices a touch of peak wattage for portability and conformity, shining in mobile scenarios. In real tests, it outperforms standard flex panels by 15-25% in output, thanks to denser cell interconnects and superior transmittance.
Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of solar: Not the biggest blade, but the most adaptable for everyday carry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How flexible is the Xantrex 115W Solar Max Flex Slim Panel?
It flexes up to 180 degrees thanks to mesh grid technology with 2000 contact points per cell, maintaining full power output even when bent to fit curved surfaces like RV roofs or boat decks.
What makes ETFE better for this solar panel?
ETFE offers superior light transmission (up to 95%), resists stains, corrosion, and weathering across extreme temperatures, lasting 2-3 times longer than cheaper PET coatings on other flex panels.
Does it perform well in shade or low light?
Yes, advanced cell design harvests up to 20% more energy in cloudy or partially shaded conditions compared to traditional panels, ideal for forested campsites or overcast days.
What are the best applications for this panel?
It's perfect for RVs, marine vessels, trucks, and specialty vehicles where space is curved or limited, providing lightweight, durable off-grid power without bulky mounts.
How do I install the slim flex panel?
Surface-mount with VHB tape, screws, or adhesive. Connect MC4 cables to a charge controller. Ensure good ventilation underneath for optimal cooling and efficiency.
How durable is it compared to standard flexible panels?
Tested 50 times more rigorously, it withstands flex cycles, hail, and environmental stress far better, with ETFE ensuring longevity in harsh conditions like marine or desert use.
Can it handle marine environments?
Absolutely—ETFE's saltwater and UV resistance makes it a top choice for boats, with no degradation from spray or submersion risks when properly mounted.
115W Solar Max Flex Slim Panel
This Xantrex slim solar panel features solar panels with mesh grid technology that provides superior durability and performance benefits. With approximately 2000 contact points per cell, this mesh grid technology allows the panel to flex up to 180 degrees without impacting power output.
Subject to extreme environmental and accelerated lifecycle testing beyond regulatory standards, the Max panel was tested 50 times more durable than a standard flexible panel. It is also designed with a highly protective top layer called ETFE (Ethylene-Tetra-Fluoro-Ethylene), which allows for better light transmittance, corrosion resistance, stain resistance, weather resistance, and overall superior durability over a wide temperature range compared to non-ETFE semi-flexible-panels-.
