{"product_id":"photonic-universe-fully-flexible-panel-185w","title":"Photonic Universe 185W Fully Flexible CIGS Solar Panel","description":"The Photonic Universe 185W is an ultra-thin, fully flexible solar panel built on CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film cells instead of rigid crystalline wafers. At only 2 mm thick, finished in full black and supplied with a peel-and-stick self-adhesive backing, it follows the curve of coachroofs, biminis and cabin tops where a framed panel will not sit, and it can be walked on during maintenance without cracking. The 516 mm width suits wider coachroof and hard-top areas.\n\nMade in Sweden and TUV Rheinland certified, the panel places a bypass diode across every cell, so shade from a mast, boom or guardrail only affects the cells in shadow rather than collapsing the whole panel's output. This 185W model produces 27.3 V at 6.6 A, with an open-circuit voltage of 34.2 V. It works with a standard MPPT charge controller such as a Victron SmartSolar; being a thin-film panel, panels are often wired in series to suit the controller's input range. A weatherproof IP68 junction box, a -40 to +85 °C rating, a 10-year product warranty and a 25-year performance guarantee make it well suited to permanent installation afloat.","brand":"Photonic Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56272826564948,"sku":"SELM3-185","price":494.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9702\/3060\/files\/f79b932f-e18f-4002-bc17-097a98e970d6.png?v=1783590418","url":"https:\/\/hudsonmarine.co.uk\/products\/photonic-universe-fully-flexible-panel-185w","provider":"Hudson Marine Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
