Product Description

Simple & easy peel and stick installation. Ideal for metal roof. RV/Boat, Home & Commercial applications. Battery charging or grid-tied solar systems. Flexible thin film solar panels. Low Light Performance. Each UNI-SOLAR module utilizes triple-junction amorphous silicon solar cells. The blue, green, and red light of the sun is absorbed in different layers of the cell, yielding higher energy production, especially at low insolation levels and under diffused light. Shadow Tolerant. By-pass diodes are connected across each cell allowing the laminates to produce electricity even when partially shaded or soiled. High Temp Performance. In real-world conditions module temperatures can be up to 185 degrees. The performance of crystalline silicon cells declines significantly in high temperatures, while UNI-SOLAR amorphous silicon technology does not. 24v DC, 18 feet long by 15.5 inch wide. Made in USA.

Product Reviews

They work fantastic in all light conditions and are super tough

I used to install these and have 10 on my own roof in a combination of the model PVL-128 and the PVL-136 They work fantastic in all light conditions, including partial shade and even under cloud cover. It was a tragedy when this fine company went out of business during the Great Recession and that no more of this great product are being manufactured. Lucky for some of us, After the company went out of business they had a huge number of panels already made stored in several warehouses. These were sold to a lot of different people/retailers at auction. That’s why you can still buy these panels “new” today at extremely good prices. Be aware that these are 24-volt panels (actually put out 24 to 33 volts with a maximum of 4.1 amps per panel). They must be used with a 24-volt battery, inverter or charge controller.Uni-Solar made some panels with MC3 connectors, some with MC4 connectors and some panels had no connectors – just two wires sticking out of the bottom (for through-the-roof installation). You need to check each listing to see which type of connector the seller is offering (and decide which style connector you want for your installationOf course they have no factory warranty anymore, but they are incredibly durable and will last for decades unless some serious damage is done to the very tough surface – or somebody starts drilling holes in them. They are easily the best thin-film “amporphous” solar panels ever made – and better than most crystalline panels for a lot of reasons I won’t go into here. Actually, while Uni-Solar called them “solar panels” for marketing reasons, but of course what they actually are is an 18-foot long, 15-inch wide “solar roof shingle”.

awesome!

I had some of these 5 years ago when they were over 400$ each. now that they are CHEAP, i bought a whole pallet! They roll up over an over again if thats what you want to do. I can fit 4 of these in an oversized duffel bag, and it weighs about 70 lbs.These perform better than most other panels, they just take up more space.I have tried it and the power bond works on architectural shingles, but its not made for that application.

Five Stars

good power

Get it before the price jumps higher…

I bought one of these 6 months ago for much less money, almost $80 less. Now that they are getting good reviews, price has jumped.I was so happy with this product, that I had to get another one. It works very well with a grid tie 1000w inverter and saves about 75% electricity during the day, so it is well worth it. I will use the second roll for an off grid system with batteries for night time and/or when power goes off. Get it before the price jumps even higher.

Great Panels easy to install.

I have 3 of these on my Toyhauler & they are phenomenal in performance output. You have to understand once you install them using adhesive backing. They are stuck in place permanently and will not pull free. I am now selling my metal roofed RV for a newer Toyhauler. This time I am placing a removable 280 watt panel. And have always used Uni-Solar panels now on my 3rd Toyhauler not the case. Renogy is the choice this time around not because they are better. But because it fit better with this application on this roof.

Great panel…

Very nice panels. They were putting out more voltage than …

Very nice panels. They were putting out more voltage than my 75v mppt controller could handle. Wired panels in parallel and working great

Good product even if it’s not made anymore

I’ve had these solar panels on my 5th wheel rubber roof for four years. They stick like bitchathain so care must be taken to lay them out in a strait line as you put them down. A caulk seam of lap seal along the edges takes away the worries of a peel off at high speeds, however unlikely. The wires come out of the bottom which makes installing on an RV a little freestyle if your roof insulation is solid foam like mine. I had to use RV roof tape to glue down the wires to penetrate in a inconspicuous chase. I charge the battery’s through a MPPT 40amp controller. Through 4 years of long term boom docking these have performed great!
