Flexible solar modules and solar cells for motorhomes

Flexible solar modules are characterised by their low weight and flexibility.

Flexible solar panels are an efficient way to generate solar energy to power your appliances in your motorhome. Unlike rigid, framed panels, flexible solar panels are characterised by a certain degree of flexibility. This allows the panels to adapt to slightly curved surfaces, offering greater versatility and easier installation on surfaces. When selecting modules, it is important to note that the surface of these modules is not made of safety glass but plastic film, taking into account the area of application. Of course, film surfaces are less robust.

Frameless motorhome solar modules are also available with a glass surface that protects the solar cells from external influences. These are not flexible, but are still flat and weigh between the flexible and framed solar modules.

The major advantage of flexible solar modules lies in their low weight, which is approximately half that of a framed solar module, and their minimal height of just a few millimeters.

The installation of flexible solar modules

Installation is usually carried out using adhesive or special adhesive tape directly on the roof of the motorhome. Before installation, it is important to thoroughly clean the surface and ensure that it is free of dirt, grease, or other contaminants. Our adhesive kit is suitable for installation.

The unframed flex or film modules are slightly more expensive than those with aluminum frames.

Other components required for the installation include solar cables, a roof feed-through, a solar charge controller, and a battery to store the solar energy for later us.


Frequently asked questions about flexible solar modules (FAQ)

How do I attach flexible solar modules correctly?

The flexible solar module must be glued flat onto a solid, rigid surface so that no mechanical stress is exerted on the module. A high-quality adhesive such as Dekalin MS-5 or, alternatively, special adhesive tape is suitable for this purpose
