Use the sun to charge your leisure battery without raising the roofline. The 150W semi-flexible panel sits just millimetres above the roof surface — no aluminium frame, no visible mounting brackets, no extra wind noise at motorway speed. Panel, matched SmartSolar controller, cabling, and PV isolator in one kit (excluding fixings and adhesives/sealants).
At a fraction of the weight of a rigid panel, this kit is ideal for elevating roofs, pop-tops, and curved surfaces where a rigid panel either won't fit or looks wrong. The SmartSolar MPPT controller makes sure every ray that the panel catches gets converted properly.
The kit includes the mounting hardware and cabling — you supply the roof. For vans where a rigid panel would be too much, this is solar charging that keeps a low profile.

The panel sits flush to the roof. No brackets, no frame, no wind resistance. It still produces 150W in good conditions — enough to run lights, a fridge, and device charging off-grid.
Elevating roofs and pop-tops have weight limits. This panel weighs a fraction of a rigid panel with its frame — you get the charging without stressing the mechanism.
Flexible panels run warmer than rigid ones, which costs some output. The MPPT controller recovers that by tracking the maximum power point continuously — you still get the most from what the panel produces.
The panel conforms to gentle curvature and mounts on surfaces where a rigid panel would need an ugly sub-frame.

Flexible panels run slightly hotter (they're closer to the roof), which costs roughly 5-10% of output in hot weather. The trade-off is weight, height, and aerodynamics. For most vans, the difference is small; for elevating roofs, flexible is the only choice.
Adhesive (Sikaflex or similar — not supplied) for most roofs, with optional mechanical fixing points. The key is a clean, sealant-compatible surface. The cable entry gland provides a watertight pass-through.
Occasionally, carefully, with soft-soled shoes — but it's not designed for regular foot traffic. Plan your roof layout so you don't need to.
Our power calculator's UK solar model gives the 150W panel roughly 359Wh (about 28Ah) per day in summer and 111Wh (about 8.7Ah) in winter. That covers lights, device charging, and a compressor fridge with careful use through summer — add a split charge kit for days when the sun doesn't cooperate.
