Offgridtec® PCB-ETFE 200W 30.8V V2 semi-flexible solar panel

The pcb-etfe 200w solar panel from Offgridtec (mpn 3-01-018415) sets new standards with high-quality materials such as Teflon derivatives at the front, fiberglass at the rear and 11-busbar technology. It is semi-flexible and ideal for 24V systems with an operating voltage of over 30.8v. For 12V systems, mppt charge controllers are required that can handle higher module voltages. These and other quality features make the pcb-etfe 200w from Offgridtec a universally applicable top-class product that feels just as at home on boats as it does on vehicle roofs or other surfaces and combines stability, maximum reliability and performance like no other.

This is the improved version of our 200w 39v module (mpn 3-01-010845). This new version offers a lower operating voltage, while the maximum current and short-circuit current have been increased, which indicates an increased efficiency and performance of the module. In the new version, the solar modules are equipped with both improved solar cells and 11 busbars, which leads to improved light absorption and reduces the effect of partial shading.

Features of the pcb-etfe 200w 30.8v solar panel

• Equipped with monocrystalline A-grade solar cells
• Cell efficiency of over 22.3%
• 11-busbar technology
• PCB backsheet
• Carefully walkable and even more slip-resistant than comparable solar modules, even when wet
• Semi-flexible - can be bent up to a maximum of 18 degrees (lengthwise)
• Easy installation of the solar panel by gluing or using the eyelets
• High light transmission of max. 96%
• Pre-assembled solar cable with mc4 plug and socket
• Proven Offgridtec quality

Application areas of the Offgridtec pcb-etfe series

• can be used without restriction in the marine sector
• ideally suited for mounting on motorhomes, buses and other vehicles
• for installation on rounded sheet metal roofs
• recommended for all systems where maximum reliability and performance are required
• ideally suited for suspending tents when camping, for example, the ring eyelets can also withstand very high mechanical loads thanks to the PCB carrier layer

etfe high-tech plastic on the front

The front of the solar panel is covered with a high-tech plastic layer based on ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer etfe - a Teflon derivative (ptfe) - and offers excellent protection against harmful environmental influences and is also suitable for use in salt water. etfe is lighter and at the same time more translucent than other plastic solutions on the market.

Extremely stable fiberglass (pcb) backing plate

The fiberglass (pcb) backing makes the module significantly more stable than conventional panels with a TPT backing. This structure offers you the following advantages:

• prevents bubble formation, which can occur with TPT modules due to incorrect bonding
• tolerates higher temperatures compared to the TPT structure
• reduces the risk of cell breakage due to accidental overbending of the panel by the user

about the pcb-etfe series

This product is the result of accumulated experience from thousands of installations in every conceivable application. We successfully established our first series of flexible solar cells on the market 5 years ago and have been continuously developing and optimizing our modules ever since. With the pcb-etfe series, you benefit from this unique expertise and can look forward to a durable product that will reliably produce electricity for many years to come.
