Five different ways to make use of flexible solar panels

Flexible solar panels are a perfect option for those that are on the move.

Options like the Renogy 100 W 12-volt monocrystalline solar panel are lightweight, durable and can be rolled up for easy transportation or curved to mount on a wide range of different vehicles.

These panels are up to 95 per cent thinner than regular solar solutions, which makes them incredibly lightweight, allows them to be curved to match almost any surface, and can also be safely rolled and easily transported or stored.

That makes them perfect for applications where regulation panels are not viable, while these flexible solutions are still highly efficient and affordable, so they meet most budgets. They are also adaptable and can be used for a wide range of purposes, including:

Powering your camping trip

If you are heading into the great outdoors, you can use these portable options to generate all of the energy you need, and they can be set up as power banks on your tent. They can be safely rolled up just as easily as your sleeping bag, so they are highly portable if you plan on hiking and exploring. As long as you have sunlight, you will have the energy to power and charge your devices.

If you are heading into remote locations a long way from civilisation, these panels can be a great safety device as well. You will have power for your communications devices and lights to signal for help if there is an emergency.

Long-distance travel in a caravan or RV

There is nothing like hitting the open road and bringing all creature comforts of home with you in your caravan or RV. Flexible solar solutions mean you are not limited to powered sites for your vehicle; you can stay anywhere and still have energy for all of your lighting, appliances and more.

Because they have up to 248 degrees arc, they can be moulded to the shape of any roof, and they are durable, so they can charge under the beating Australian sun while you travel long distances, soaking up energy for when it is time to relax.

Marine activities

The unique flexibility of these panels is ideally suited to boats of all different shapes and sizes. You can use these green solutions to charge your battery which means less reliance on fossil fuels like diesel. At the same time, they will also comfortably power all of your lighting, electronics and appliances like fridges.

Having renewable energy to power your boat is especially beneficial when you want to go fishing. You will no longer need a generator which means you will have more space, and ditching the noise means less chance of scaring the fish away.

General backup

If you need to travel through rural and remote locations for work or personal reasons, there is no guarantee that you can gain access to grid electrcity. These panels provide an around-the-clock power bank for your mobile devices, tools and the other essentials you may require.
