What is a portable waterproof solar panels? Solar panels refer to devices that directly convert solar energy into electrical energy by utilizing the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor materials in sunlight. Solar panels are the most widely used type of solar energy, and most of their material is silicon.

Outdoor applications for solar panels are ubiquitous and can last up to 30 years or more, especially for rooftop or ground-mounted solar systems. The front of the solar panels must be exposed to rain, humidity, or any other bad weather, so they should not break, short circuit, etc.

Introduction of  waterproof solar panels

First, we need to understand the structure of solar panels. It mainly consists of solar cells and associated laminates. A solar cell is not waterproof because it has circuits and wires on its surface. If there is water on the battery, a short circuit may occur.

Batteries will be damaged, etc. But don’t worry, the solar cells are encapsulated in a laminate or some special resin.

Therefore, the waterproof function is mainly reflected in the outer layer bonding technology and edge treatment. Generally, the solar panels we use in large grid-connected systems are covered with tempered glass, which is waterproof.

The backplate is usually made of durable polymer material. This means that solar panels must be waterproof to keep generating electricity for more than 30 years. Besides tempered glass, there are some other materials like PET, and ETFE, which are also waterproof.

So, don’t worry, your solar panels are waterproof and perfect for camping too.

SUNGOLD has the best portable waterproof solar panels

–Flexible Solar Panel-TF Series

The Sungold Folding Solar Panel Kit uses monocrystalline solar cells with a cell efficiency of up to 24%. The low light performance of Sungold solar cells is much better than other batteries, they usually, have 12v-24v output to charge batteries, lead acid, or lithium batteries, connected regularly, suitable for energy storage.

Summarize

The flexible solar panel is powered by high-quality 166 monocrystalline solar cells with high efficiency. The unique surface anti-aging fireproof material has a flame retardant effect and is very suitable for outdoor applications.

Sungold flexible solar panels provide reliable energy needs for your RV, boat, or off-grid PV. If you are looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint and energy bills, semi-flexible solar panels and flexible solar panels are your best option.
