Flexible Solar Panels, Flexible Solar Panels for RV, Walk On Solar Panels
Flexible solar panels with 80W, 100W, 115W, 130W or 160W
Flexible solar panels to glue on:
Flexible solar panels adapt to curved surfaces, hardly increase the vehicle height, are robust and can be walked on.
All in all, the flexible solar panels are the ideal alternative to rigid solar panels.
All in all, the flexible solar panels are the ideal alternative to rigid solar panels.
Simply look for a suitable place on the roof for the flexible solar panel, glue it on, connect solar controller - done!
We have been successfully installing these flexible solar panels, which were originally produced as marine solar panels, on Reimo Van Concept camper vans for many years.The low installation height, weather resistance and the relatively undemanding installation make the flexible solar panels perfect for camper vans.
Walk on solar panels for curved and limited places
Walk on solar panels have been developed for the curved surfaces on sailboats. They are also seawater resistent and can withstand all kinds of weather conditions.
Therefore they are perfect for camper vans, RVs and travel trailers as flexible solar panels for RV.
Walk on solar panels are ideal for the installtion on curved pop top roofs or high roofs.
The installation of a walk on solar panel saves a lot of weight and of course overall height.
A small guide on solar for RVs, travel trailer, camper vans and camping can be found at Van Conversion: Solar for camper vans, RVs and travel trailers!
Flexible solar panels for RV - A little guide
General informationen on photovoltaic cells can be found at Wikipedia solar cells - this is good to get a first understanding on why and how these solar cells in flexible solar panels work.Flexible solar panels for RV may only be operated when they are fully installed and glued on.
A true story about the sensitivety of the contacts inside a flexbile solar panels:
A flexible solar panel for RV has been taken on vacation inside a cardboard box. While it was stowed away in the trunk, it was wiggled and at every campsite, it has been connected, disconnected, reconnected every single time.
The constant vibration on the ride damaged the contacts in the flexible solar panel for RV and they broke.
The customer was then, of course, super upset. Unfortunately this kind of damage cannot be repaired.
The customer was then, of course, super upset. Unfortunately this kind of damage cannot be repaired.
However, we were able to help the customer but processing the guarantee was no fun.
So to avoid this kind of unrepairable damage:
It is important to only use the flexible solar panels for RV when they are fully glued and installed!
Does your vehicle roof not allow the installation of a flexible solar panel? Or do you need even more flexibility?

Then find here the powerful folding solar panels, mobile solar panels. These camping solar panels are specially developed for mobile use and can withstand many loads.
Do flexible solar panels deliver less power when there is too much sun?
No, the do not! The WP systems are very reliable!
The conventional 12V solar panel provides just as much power as the flexible solar panel.
However, heat can be a problem for every solar cell. Solar panels optimally work at 20° degree Celsius (temperature of the panel).
So, if the temperature of the panel increases, the optimal power generation changes.
A panel temperature of 60° degrees celius decreases the optimal power generation of approx. 20%.
A black camper van roof with black flexible solar panels can get up to 90° degrees Celcius and more.
In this case, the 12V solar panel might be more advantageous. Due to the installation of a bracket, a small gab is created between roof an solar panel. So the solar panel is well ventilated and cools down a bit.
A flexilble solar panel does not offer this option.
BUT, this is why we have white, flexible solar panels in our range, especially for van roofs that get heated easily.
These white flexible solar panels don't get too hot and are able to produce more power even on hot days.
3 year warranty on Carbest Flex Panels!
The high-power monocrystalline cells and the flexible solar panels surface made of EFTE or TPT impress with longevity.
Because of this quality, we are happy to give you a 3 year warranty on Carbest Flex Panels.
Carbest produces flexible solar panels with 80W, 100W,115W,130W and 160W . So you get the right capacity even with higher power consumption, for example for tablets, laptops and the like.
Flexible solar panels by Carbest are Reimo tradition.
It became clear early on that this type of structure has immense advantages for camper vans and panel vans.
It became clear early on that this type of structure has immense advantages for camper vans and panel vans.
A VW van with a flexible solar panel on a flat pop top roof can still drive into most underground car parks.
A few years ago, this idea was absolutely unthinkable. But technology is advancing and the innovations in alternative power supply are certainly far from over.
E.g. the flexible 12V solar panel, 160W. In order to save additional height, the connection box of the Flex Panel was moved to the bottom.
The connection box lies securely in the vehicle roof and is safely stowed away from "underground parking".
