This is a very unique solar panel that was built by Solopower at their manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon. This panel is made of 180 series connected CIGS flexible solar cells.  Individually these cells were designed to produce a range of 1 to 1.5 watts. These are unique panels and are best described from the manufacturer's specification sheet that will be provided below.  This listing will include key features of the panel,  rated characteristics of the panel, and the details of this panel listing compared to our other models. 

Key Features

The lightweight, flexible, and durable nature of the panel provides a sleek modern alternative to heavier glass models

Low weight, non-penetrating mounting solutions can be used to take advantage of the lightweight panel characteristics

The manufacturer boasts superior low-sun angle and low light performance provide excellent energy yield

The low profile bypass diodes allow for maximum performance under shade conditions

The panel is protected by a weather resistant front sheet, a sealed junction box and protective back sheet providing a reliable and durable module.

Modules are built to meet and/or exceed UL standard 1703, IEC 61646 and IEC 61730 standards

Manufactured in a highly automated state of the art facility in Portland, Oregon USA

These SoloPower panels are some of the last made at the Portland USA Facility. They are new and were never sold. They were designed to last 20 years for residential and commercial rooftop applications. As such they have the ETFE top sheet. Work great for Boat Canopies and anywhere you can use a flexible thin short and wide panel. They have MC4 Connector Cables.

 

Condition: New

This is the SPL3 Series Panel and should perform as strong as the lowest rated SPL3 panel that Solopower made, the 160W. It may in fact be stronger than the SP3L-160's as Solopower made 160, 180, 200, 220, 240 and 260 Watt panels in this form factor. The borders and color of the weatherproofing and cells may vary from the pictured panel above. All panels are listed in a new out-of-box condition. They have been stored in and outdoors during their lifetime. They have MC4 Connector Cables. Please view our photo set and contact us with any questions.
