Xantrex 115W Solar Max Flex Panel

Unlock Reliable Power On the Go with Advanced Flexible Solar Technology

Imagine harnessing the sun's energy without the bulk and rigidity of traditional panels, even as your adventure vehicle bounces over rough terrain or sways on open waters. The Xantrex Solar Max Flex Panel redefines portable solar power with its groundbreaking mesh grid design, delivering consistent output despite extreme flexing up to 180 degrees. This isn't just a panel—it's engineered toughness wrapped in high-efficiency cells, perfect for those who demand durability without sacrificing performance.

Crafted for real-world resilience, this panel undergoes rigorous testing that surpasses industry norms, proving 50 times more robust than typical flexible options. Its ETFE top layer acts like an invisible shield, boosting light absorption while shrugging off corrosion, stains, and harsh weather across a broad temperature spectrum. Whether you're off-grid camping, hauling freight cross-country, or navigating coastal routes, this panel ensures your batteries stay topped up efficiently.

Superior Performance in Challenging Conditions

What sets this flexible solar panel apart is its ability to capture up to 20% more energy in suboptimal light or partial shade compared to conventional models. Powered by premium mono-crystalline PERC cells, it maintains peak efficiency even when conditions aren't ideal. The intricate mesh grid, boasting around 2000 contact points per cell, minimizes power loss during flex, making it ideal for curved roofs or uneven surfaces.

Key electrical highlights include a robust 115W maximum power output under standard test conditions, with a 22.1V optimal voltage and 5.2A current. Open-circuit voltage reaches 27.4V, and short-circuit current hits 5.6A, supporting systems up to 600V. Mechanically, it's lightweight at just 6 pounds, measures 37.5 x 28.4 x 0.08 inches, and features an IP67-rated junction box with MC4 connectors for seamless integration. It thrives in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C, with minimal degradation coefficients ensuring reliable output year-round.

Versatile Applications for Mobile Lifestyles

From weekend warriors in recreational vehicles to professional fleets on heavy-duty trucks, this panel adapts to diverse needs. On marine vessels, its corrosion-resistant ETFE coating withstands saltwater exposure, while work trucks benefit from its peel-and-stick installation that conforms to cab roofs without drilling. Specialty vehicles like emergency response units or overland rigs gain a low-profile power source that won't interfere with aerodynamics or cargo space.

Users rave about its ease of setup—simply clean the surface, peel the backing, and stick it down for instant energy harvesting. Pair it with compatible charge controllers to maximize battery life, and watch your independence from shore power or fuel generators grow. It's not just about watts; it's about freeing yourself from cords and outlets wherever the road leads.

Built to Last: Durability Meets Efficiency

The 42-cell (6x7) array uses cutting-edge PERC technology for superior low-light performance, meaning dawn patrols or cloudy overcasts won't shortchange your power needs. Temperature coefficients are optimized—Pmax at -0.39%/°C, Voc at -0.30%/°C, and Isc at +0.06%/°C—ensuring stable operation in scorching deserts or freezing mountains. Weighing under 3kg, it's a breeze to handle during installs or relocations, yet tough enough for daily vibrations and impacts.

Pro tip: For best results, orient toward midday sun and avoid heavy debris accumulation. A gentle rinse keeps the ETFE surface pristine, preserving transmittance over thousands of cycles. This panel isn't a short-term fix; it's a long-haul companion for sustainable powering.
