Laminated ETFE Folding Solar Panels

ETFE Laminated Folding Solar Panel From 7W To 400W

Higher conversion efficiency, lighter, more waterproof and more durable than the sewn format.

The ETFE folding panel is our laminated construction, available with mono, BC or SUNPOWER cells across ten wattages from 7W to 400W. Compared with the sewn fabric format it delivers higher conversion efficiency at lower weight, with better water resistance and durability, and it is the line our CE, RoHS and IP waterproof documentation was issued against.

Key Benefits

Why Buyers Specify This Model

Higher Conversion Efficiency

The laminated ETFE surface is specified for higher conversion efficiency than the standard folding construction, at lower weight.

Three Cell Technologies

Mono, BC or SUNPOWER, so the same folded size can be specified at three different output levels.

Charges Everything Up To A Car Battery

Compatible with smartphones, tablets, power banks, energy storage systems and car batteries.

Documented Waterproofing

IP-rated waterproof test reports and CE and RoHS examination certificates are available to download.

Problems It Solves

Panels Fail After One Wet Season

The ETFE laminate is specified for water resistance and durability, and we hold the test reports to show it.

Weight Budgets On Hiking Kit

The laminated build is lighter than the sewn equivalent for the same output.

Output Per Folded Area Is Too Low

BC and SUNPOWER cell options raise output without increasing the pack size.

Comparison With Other Models

Against our sewn folding panels, the ETFE line is lighter, more efficient, more waterproof and more durable, at a higher unit cost. Against the low-wattage sewn range it also reaches much higher outputs, up to 400W. Choose sewn where price leads and ETFE where conditions are harsh or weight is critical.

Use Guide

  1. Choose the wattage from the load you intend to charge, not from the panel size
  2. Specify the cell technology: mono for cost, BC or SUNPOWER for output
  3. Unfold the panel and angle it towards the sun, using the stand on larger sizes
  4. Connect through the junction box using the connector set specified for your device
  5. Wipe the ETFE surface clean with a soft cloth, no solvents
  6. Fold dry where possible and store flat

Quality Control And Warranty

Every unit passes three inspection gates: IQC on incoming material, IPQC on the line and FQC before packing. The model ships with CE, RoHS and FCC documentation, carries a twelve month warranty against manufacturing defects, and any quality issue receives a proposed solution within 48 hours.

FAQ

Questions About The ETFE Folding Solar Panel

What is ETFE and why does it matter

It is the fluoropolymer film used as the panel surface. In this construction it is what gives the higher conversion efficiency, lower weight and better waterproofing compared with the sewn fabric format.

Which cell type should I specify

Mono is the cost baseline. BC and SUNPOWER raise output for the same folded area, at a higher unit cost. Tell us the target wattage and pack size and we will recommend one.

Can it charge a car battery directly

Car batteries are listed among the compatible loads. Tell us the battery and we will confirm the junction box and cable set required.

Can I see the certificates before ordering

Yes. The CE and RoHS examination certificates and the IP waterproof test report are all in the Download Center as PDFs.
