Sunman eArc stands as the sole lightweight solar panel approved for grid connection on buildings, having met the rigorous testing standards of conventional panels. This groundbreaking technology combines exceptional toughness, lightness, thinness, and durability:
Innovative Construction: Utilizing glass fiber-reinforced composite polymers like those found in aircraft windows, eArc panels significantly minimize thermal expansion, addressing the primary cause of failure in ETFE and PET panels – thermal stress on cell-to-cell connections.
Ultra-Light & Thin: Weighing merely 7.7kg, eArc panels are a staggering 70% lighter than traditional rigid solar panels. Their thickness is a mere 2mm.
Strength & Durability: Rated for 2400 pascals of wind and load resistance, these panels are built to withstand harsh conditions. They come with a 12-year warranty for building installations and 5 years for mobile applications, backed by Sunman.
Comparable Longevity & Efficiency: 25-year simulation tests reveal degradation rates comparable to glass laminated solar panels. The flexible pv panels feature efficient monocrystalline cells with a 25-year performance guarantee.
Exclusive CEC Accreditation: Sunman eArc is the only lightweight solar panel composition holding accreditation from the Clean Energy Council (CEC).
Durability: eArc sun energy pv panels are certified to withstand maximum test load (2400 Pascal), while special materials and stringent quality control ensure panel longevity.

Sunman Flexible Solar Panels, specifically the model SMF520J-12X12UW, offer a high-power, lightweight, and adaptable renewable energy solution for various applications where traditional rigid panels may not be suitable or practical. Here are some potential applications of the Sunman 520W flexible solar panel:
Mobile Living and RVs: Flexible solar panels can easily conform to the curved surfaces of recreational vehicles (RVs), campervans, motorhomes, and trailers, maximizing available space for energy generation without adding excessive weight or compromising aerodynamics.
Marine Applications: On boats, yachts, and sailboats, the lightweight and bendable nature of these panels makes them ideal for installation on curved decks, biminis, or other irregular surfaces, providing reliable power for navigation systems, lighting, and appliances while underway or at anchor.
Building Integration: In architectural designs, flexible solar panels can be seamlessly integrated into building facades, roof tiles, skylights, or awnings, contributing to the building's energy efficiency and aesthetics without requiring substantial structural modifications.
Off-Grid and Remote Installations: In locations where grid access is limited or nonexistent, such as remote cabins, telecommunication towers, or wildlife monitoring stations, flexible solar panels can provide a reliable and durable power source for essential equipment and systems.
Agrovoltaics: Combining agriculture and solar energy generation, flexible panels can be installed over crop fields or livestock shelters, allowing for dual use of land and potentially improving farming conditions by shading crops or animals.
Military and Disaster Relief: In military operations or disaster response scenarios, flexible solar panels can rapidly deploy to power communication equipment, lighting, medical devices, or temporary shelters in harsh environments or under challenging logistical constraints.
Vehicle Charging Stations: Integrated into carports or parking structures, flexible solar panels can generate electricity to charge electric vehicles (EVs) directly or feed into the grid, promoting sustainable transportation.
When considering the Sunman Flexible Solar Panel 520W for any of these applications, ensure that the panel's electrical specifications, mounting requirements, and environmental durability meet the specific needs of your project. Proper installation, maintenance, and system design (including batteries, charge controllers, and inverters if necessary) are crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
What is eArc solar technology?
eArc is the world's first glassless solar module. An innovation combining proven crystalline silicon solar cells with Sunman's patented composite material (ZL201610927464.6，ZL201610927383.6，EP3534410), eArc has the same durability and robustness of conventional glass modules. However, unlike glass:
eArc is akin to a flexible"solar skin", 70% lighter and up to 95% thinner. eArc requires 0 penetration or mounting equipment during installation, cutting time-on-site by 40%. eArc is easier to transport in bulk - up to 60% more kW per pallet. eArc targets a variety of applications glass modules cannot service.
What's the warranty for eArc flexible solar panel?
eArc is the first module of its kind to pass the same durability and safety tests as glass modules, including IEC 61215:2016, IEC61730:2016 and UL1703 (USA). The IEC61215 confirms eArc's ability to withstand prolonged exposure to open air climates. eArc has also passed additional module quality assessments, including 3000 hours of damp heat, UV exposure (25 years equivalent), PID, salt mist and ammonia corrosion tests.
