Xantrex 220W Solar Max Flex Slim Panel

Discover the ultimate in flexible solar power with this innovative panel designed for adventurers who demand reliability without compromise. Engineered to bend up to 180 degrees while maintaining peak performance, it stands out in demanding environments like curved RV roofs, boat decks, or van conversions. Its advanced mesh grid technology creates thousands of contact points per cell, ensuring consistent energy flow even under flex and stress.

Revolutionary Technology Behind Superior Performance

At the heart of this panel lies mono-crystalline PERC cell technology, which boosts efficiency by reducing energy loss at the rear contact. Paired with a robust ETFE top layer, it offers unmatched resistance to UV rays, salt spray, bird droppings, and extreme temperatures—from scorching deserts to freezing winters. Unlike basic flexible panels coated in cheaper materials, ETFE enhances light absorption, letting you capture more sunlight even on cloudy days or in partial shade.

The mesh grid design distributes current evenly across over 2,000 points per cell, minimizing hotspots and power drops during flexing. This means up to 20% more harvestable energy in suboptimal conditions, perfect for off-grid living where every watt counts.

Unrivaled Durability Tested to Extremes

Subjected to rigorous accelerated lifecycle tests far beyond industry norms, this panel proves 50 times tougher than conventional flexible options. It withstands hail, heavy foot traffic, and vibrational stresses common in mobile applications. The ultra-slim 0.08-inch profile hugs surfaces seamlessly, resisting peel-off from wind or movement.

• Flex without failure: Up to 180 degrees of bend radius
• Weatherproof excellence: Corrosion, stain, and impact resistant
• Long-term reliability: Backed by a limited 5-year warranty

Key Specifications at a Glance

Effortless Installation for Real-World Use

Setting up is straightforward with the peel-and-stick backing—no drilling, bulky frames, or complex hardware needed. Clean the surface thoroughly, peel the adhesive liner, and press firmly into place on smooth, curved areas. Position for optimal south-facing tilt (in the northern hemisphere) to maximize daily yield. Connect via standard MC4 connectors to your charge controller for seamless integration into existing solar arrays.

Pro tip: In marine settings, rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure to maintain adhesive integrity. For RVs, align with travel direction to minimize drag while ensuring shade-free exposure.

Ideal Applications and User Stories

Boaters love how it conforms to cabin tops without leaks or rattles. RV enthusiasts mount it on awnings or hoods for stealth charging. Off-roaders and vanlifers appreciate the lightweight build that won't overload payloads. Expand your system easily by daisy-chaining multiples for higher capacity, keeping your batteries topped up during extended trips.

Compared to rigid panels, it saves space and weight; versus lesser flexibles, it delivers consistent output without degradation over time.
