This 190 watt SolarFlex expansion panel bolts another ultra-thin, flexible module onto your existing array. Same panel, same voltage, wired straight into your Go Power MPPT controller. It's the clean way to grow your charging without starting over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you already run a Go Power SolarFlex Eclipse 190 kit on your boat or RV and you keep coming up short by early evening, this is the panel that fixes it. The GP-ECLIPSE-FLEX-190E is a pure expansion panel. It's the same 190 watt SolarFlex module as your base kit, just sold on its own so you can add capacity without buying a whole new system. Wire it into the MPPT controller you already have and you've effectively doubled your array.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SolarFlex part matters. This is an ultra-thin, flexible panel, not a rigid glass-and-aluminum unit. At roughly 56 by 27 inches and about a tenth of an inch thick, it lies almost flat against a coach roof, a hardtop, or a curved cabin top where a framed panel simply won't sit. There's no bulky frame to catch a jib sheet or a low branch at the campground. On boats where every inch of clean deck space is spoken for, a flexible panel opens up mounting spots you'd never fit a rigid one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the thing to understand before you order: this is an expansion, not a standalone system. There's no charge controller in the box. It's built to bolt onto an existing Go Power Eclipse 190 array and share that kit's MPPT controller. Go Power rates the SolarFlex Eclipse line as expandable all the way up to 3000 watts using stackable MPPT controllers. So a single 190 watt add is just the first step if you're building toward a serious house-bank charging setup. For the panel to pull its weight, match it to the base kit's voltage. Mixing mismatched panels drags the whole string down to the weakest one, and you'll wonder where your amps went.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRig it up right and it'll reward you. Each panel puts out about 9.89 amps in full sun, black on black so it looks like it belongs up there. We tell folks running salt water to treat the MC4 connectors with respect. A dab of dielectric grease at every connection keeps the pins from corroding in salt air, which is the number one thing that kills output on a marine solar run over a season or two. On longer cable runs, say anything past 15 feet from panel to controller, step up to 10 AWG wire so you're not throwing away voltage before it ever reaches the batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting a flexible panel is its own small art. The low profile is the whole appeal, but the edges are where UV goes to work first. Plenty of boaters and RVers add a bead of marine adhesive or a strip of trim around the perimeter after the first season to keep the corners from lifting. On a curved fiberglass surface, a good marine-grade adhesive does the heavy lifting, and mechanical fasteners at the edges give you insurance. Take your time with surface prep and it'll stay put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Cruisers and RVers who already committed to the Go Power Eclipse platform and want more silent, fuel-free charging without re-engineering the whole system. Weekend anchor-outs, boondockers, liveaboards, anyone tired of firing up a generator to top off the batteries. It's not the panel to start from scratch with, and it's not a portable fold-up you toss on the dock. It's a permanent-mount expansion for a system that's already in place. If that's you, adding 190 watts is about the easiest upgrade you can make to stay off shore power longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGo Power backs the SolarFlex Eclipse panels with a 5-year power output warranty, and we're an authorized Go Power reseller, so that coverage runs through us.
