The result is a solar panel that is far more durable than traditional glass and aluminum models, with twice the efficiency (approx. 20%) of flexible thin film solar panels. With these advanced solar cells, you will get greater power efficiency even though the panel is no larger than a traditional model. The plastic back sheet can be curved to a maximum 30 degree arc and mounted on an RV, boat, cabin, tent, or any other irregular surface. The flexibility of this panel also makes it ideal for storage in tight spaces or crowded areas that are typically off limits for traditional glass and aluminum models. While this solar panel packs 100W of power, it only weighs a mere 3lbs, making it easier to transport, hang, and remove. The laminate coating on the exterior of the panel makes it impervious to saltwater splashing, rain, and other weather elements. While this panel may be damaged by sharp objects or scraping, there is no risk of shattering or cracking.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#585858;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.renogy-store.com/100watts-bendable-panel-p/rng-100db.htm">http://www.renogy-store.com/100watts-bendable-panel-p/rng-100db.htm</a> >><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>David Palumbo <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Independent Power LLC<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>462 Solar Way Drive<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hyde Park, VT 05655<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>802-888-7194<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
