Two ranges of semi-flexible solar panels.

SunWorks has two ranges of semi-flexible solar panels. Both types feature an abrasion resistant ETFE surface and an encapsulated aluminium  backplate for long term stability.

The Premium range also uses a mesh-contact system for extra reliability in the toughest of conditions. These German built panels are a stunning dark grey colour from edge to edge blending in well with darker coloured vehicles.

High performance and reliability is guaranteed from all our panels.

What size of solar panel should I choose?

Choose a 50 watt panel if you simply want to keep your battery topped up ready for the next trip.

A 100 watt panel will provide extra power when you are away on holiday in your motorhome.

We recommend using two 100 watt panels if you want to be totally independent of a mains hook-up. Two panels connected together work as one large panel.

How do I fit the solar panel?

These panels are quick and easy to attach to the motorhome roof. Simply bend the panel to the shape of the roof and glue it in place. Use Sikaflex 252i adhesive to attach the panel. This is the best adhesive and ensures a safe and secure installation.

Then take the cable through the motorhome roof via a watertight roof gland. Fit a suitable charge controller. Finally, connect the cable to your battery via a fuse.

How to get the best from your solar panel.

Because you want your solar panel to perform as well as possible, you should use a high quality charge controller. A good charge controller will protect your battery from overcharging. It will also ensure that the maximum charge goes into your battery.

Use a dual battery controller if you want to charge the engine battery as well as the leisure battery, from the same solar panel.

SunWorks solar panel charge controllers offer the best performance, and the longest battery life. We have been designing and building special charge controllers for motorhomes and boats since 2002.
