Description
200W Semi-Flex Bluetooth Kit, Cable gland, controller and cable
This kit includes:
- 200W black semi-flexible fibreglass solar panel with durable ETFE coating
- Waterproof Double Cable Entry Gland Black (3-7mm)
- Pair of 5m Single Core Extension Cable Leads 4.0mm For solar Panels And Solar Charging Kits
- High Efficiency 20A MPPT Solar Charge Controller With Built In Bluetooth

This high efficiency 200W solar panel is perfect for permanent outdoor use to provide free electricity for charging 12V batteries to power various applications, such as in a motorhome, caravan, camper, boat, or for solar lighting systems, off-grid, and back up solar power systems. The panel can also be used to provide direct power supply for applications not sensitive to changes in input voltage / current (e.g. electric motors or pumps) and for various grid-tie applications.
Product features:
- Robust construction using plastic reinforced with glass fibre creates a sturdy and durable solar panel
- Special textured surface significantly reduces light reflection and improves performance in low light and cloudy conditions
- Highly flexible design makes this panel ideal for curved roofs and surfaces where bonding is preferable (though it can also be fixed by bolts or screws)
- Black backing makes the solar panel ideal for discreet and aesthetically pleasing installation on dark coloured roofs, vehicles or mounting surfaces
- The panel is incredibly light (only 3.65kg) and very thin (just 2mm) which is great for all vehicles
- High resistance to salt water environments makes it perfect for boats and marine applications
- Sealed waterproof design ensures it can be used in all weather conditions
Strong ETFE coating:
In addition to the fibreglass reinforcement, the surface of this 200W semi-flexible solar panel is made of strong ETFE material which has a longer service life compared to standard semi-flexible solar panels. As a result, these particular semi-flexible solar panels are extremely hard-wearing and less prone to cracking, delamination and corrosion. The lightly textured coating of this panel creates an anti-reflective surface which allows the panel to absorb a far greater amount of light, thereby increasing efficiency. ETFE material has long been used in applications where durability and high-temperature resistance is required, such as in the Eden Project, Cornwall. You can read more about ETFE and its benefits here.
High quality 9-busbar solar cells:
This panel also features new generation 9-busbar solar cells, which are more efficient than the 2, 3, 4 or 5 busbar solar cells used in most other solar panels, and are able to extract more power from the same surface area. This results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited.
All-black design:
This solar panel has a unique black backing, making this solar panel ideal for discreet and aesthetically pleasing installation on dark coloured roofs, vehicles or mounting surfaces. Please note that this solar panel is not ‘ultra jet-black’ – the exact hue may vary marginally from panel to panel, depending on the batch of solar cells.
Anti-reflective textured surface:
The textured surface of this solar panel reduces the reflection of light whilst maximising the absorption of light from every possible angle. This ensures high performance in low light or cloudy conditions, or when the light falls at an angle (in the morning, evening, or winter).
Ease of connectivity:
The panel is fitted with 2 x 1m of cable specially designed for solar panels to carry high currents with negligible power loss (6mm² cross section). The cable comes with waterproof MC4 connectors which can be used for easy connectivity to your existing system, for linking several panels together or for connecting 6mm2 extension cable.

High Efficiency 20A MPPT Solar Charge Controller With Built In Bluetooth
MPPT Technology:
This solar charge controller uses the most advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to track the maximum power voltage point of solar panels as it varies depending on sunlight exposure and temperature. This technology ensures the maximum efficiency of your solar system and significantly outperforms standard PWM solar controllers. Another benefit of MPPT technology is the wide solar input voltage range – this controller can work not only with standard off-grid 12/24V solar panels, but also with multiple panels with voltage up to 100V. The maximum combined input solar power allowed for this controller is 260W for a 12V battery system or 520W for a 24V system. In particular, this controller will significantly increase efficiency of a solar system where the solar panel voltage is much higher than the battery voltage (e.g. charging a 12V battery with a 36V solar panel).
Full system protection:
This charge controller features a comprehensive set of electronic protection functions to ensure the maximum possible efficiency of your solar system. These include: reverse current prevention at night (from the battery back to the solar panel), automatic cut off to prevent over-charging and deep discharge, solar panel over voltage, over load, short circuit and reverse polarity protection. The controller also has self-diagnostic capability and highlights any system errors using advanced fault-targeting technology.
Lithium Battery charging:
This solar charge controller is designed for compatibility with lithium batteries. It offers a lithium battery charging mode, which can be easily selected via the LCD display, mobile app, or PC software (refer to the user manual for details). Additionally, a “User-Defined” battery type option allows you to customize charging parameters for specific battery types.
Advanced system monitoring:
- Built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows for parameters to be monitored and changed via the mobile app. The app is available to download for iOS devices here, and for Android devices here.
- The controller automatically recognises 12/24V battery systems (note a battery should always be connected to the controller first before connecting a solar panel).
- Built-in LCD screen shows real-time charging parameters such as voltage, current (separately for solar panel / load), battery state of charge, and historical data for accumulated charge and discharge energy.
- Easy to use buttons allow the user to manually select the battery type (sealed, flooded, gel, or LiFePO4) and program load settings (e.g. set timers for lighting, fans, pumps etc).
Multiple connectivity options:
This model also features additional advanced communication technology, which offers the user the opportunity to monitor and program parameters for the solar charge controller through various methods:
1) The controller can be connected to a remote meter MT52 with an LCD screen, which displays system performance information and allows the user to manually adjust parameters and load settings
2) The controller can be connected to a Wi-Fi module to create a Wi-Fi network, to which your mobile phone or tablet can connect, in order to monitor or adjust charging parameters and controller settings through a free mobile app (available for Android and iOS users).
3) An RJ45 to USB cable can be used to connect the controller directly to your PC / laptop, where parameters and settings can be monitored and adjusted via a free computer program – Solar Station Monitor (Windows-based PCs and laptops only).
Using one of these communication methods, the user will gain access not only to the standard charging parameters already shown via the built-in LCD screen, but also additional information such as min/max voltages, temperature, protection cut off voltages, diagnostics and other information. If required the user will also be able to amend the battery capacity, set charging volts for different charging stages, specify the duration of each charging stage, create a user-defined battery type with charging parameters specific to their battery (if the pre-existing options are unsuitable), and more.
In addition to the built-in temperature sensor and intelligent heat-dissipating design of this controller, there is also a socket for connecting a remote temperature sensor, which can be attached directly to the battery to measure the battery temperature more precisely and optimise the charging process. (Inbuilt temperature sensor is not enabled for lithium batteries).
