Unisolar Flexible solar electric modules

Full specifications

Special Purpose
Each UNI-SOLAR flexible solar battery charger uses United Solar's proprietary Triple Junction spectrum-splitting amorphous silicon cell design to achieve high performance. The thin-film cells are made in a patented continuous roll-to-roll deposition
process on a flexible stainless steel sheet. The result is a unique, flexible, light-weight cell. The vinyl and foam modules are exceptionally durable. They are encapsulated in UV stabilized polmers and bonded and stitched to a cushioned backing material. The polymer encapsulation includes EVA and fluoropolymer Tefzel, a DuPont film similar to Teflon. Bypass diodes are connected across each cell, allowing the modules (excluding the USF-5) to produce some power even when partially shaded. These modules are flexible, but only up to a point. They are not intended to be tightly rolled or bent across sharp corners.

Each panel comes with an 8 foot cord with a 2-pin SAE connector, and includes a 2-foot fused battery connector.
