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 on the front, fiberglass on the back, and 11-busbar technology. These and other quality features make Offgridtec’s PCB-ETFE 200W a versatile, top-of-the-line product that is just as at home on boats as it is on vehicle roofs or other surfaces, and that 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 simultaneously increasing the maximum current and short-circuit current, indicating enhanced 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 impact 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
• 2 bypass diodes—minimized power loss during shading
• PCB backsheet
• Can be walked on with care and is 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 ring eyelets
• High light transmittance of up to 96%
• Pre-assembled solar cable with MC4 plug and socket
• Proven Offgridtec quality
• 12-month warranty—you can find information on warranty terms here

Applications of the Offgridtec PCB-ETFE Series

• Unrestricted use in marine applications
• Ideal for installation on RVs, buses, and other vehicles
• For installation on curved sheet metal roofs
• Recommended for all systems requiring the highest reliability and performance
• Ideally suited for suspending items such as tents while camping; thanks to the PCB backing layer, the ring eyelets can withstand even very high mechanical loads

ETFE high-tech plastic on the front side

The front of the solar panel is covered with a high-tech plastic layer based on ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE)—a Teflon (PTFE) derivative—which offers excellent protection against harmful environmental influences and is also suitable for use in saltwater. ETFE is lighter and more translucent than other plastic solutions on the market.

Extremely Sturdy Fiberglass (PCB) Backing Plate

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

• Prevents blistering, which can occur in TPT modules due to improper bonding
• Withstands higher temperatures compared to the TPT design
• Reduces the risk of cell breakage caused by the user accidentally bending the panel too far

About the PCB-ETFE Series

This product is the result of experience gained from thousands of installations across every conceivable application. Five years ago, we successfully launched our first series of flexible solar cells on the market, and we 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 generate electricity for many years to come.
