When shading is unavoidable
When shading is unavoidable
Solbianflex SX and SXX panels can be offered with a modified cells topology. Thanks to the way Day4Energy™? solar cells are electrically connected, a larger number of bypass diodes can be integrated in the panel. The result is a panel that is far less sensitive to shading, a clear advantage in all kind of installations but especially on sailing boats, where shadows are unavoidable.
SX Series
Powerful and reliable
Powerful and reliable
In the SX series the monocrystalline solar cells are electrically connected using ultra-thin copper wires that form a very fine mesh on the cell surface, resulting in thousands of contact points. This alternative to the standard bus-bar method allows a higher module power and increases the energy yield. A technology optimally suited to flexible modules, due to its intrinsic insensitivity to micro-cracks, that are the most common cause of energy loss in solar modules.
ALLinONE Solution
Solar panel + charge controller
Solar panel + charge controller
Solar panel+charge controller. To make solar energy simpler, suitable for the enthusiast as well as the professional user. All the electronics you need are already packed into the rugged waterproof box: a sophisticated MPPT controller capable of boosting the voltage to match with your battery pack. With the ALLinONE solution, panels can be combined simply by connecting each of them directly to your battery, each modul being completely independent from the others, thanks to the integrated charge controllers.
Fixing Options: Adhesive
The flexible Solbianflex panels can become an integral part of the boat. Fix the solar panels to your boat or RV through the optional double-sided structural adhesive. The electrical connection can be made via the junction box or by direct connection to the positive and negative poles of the panels (Surface Mounting solution).
Fixing Options: Eyelets
The easiest and most inexpensive solution, they can be fixed on the edges of the panels. The Solbianflex panels can be equipped with special stainless steel eyelets along the edge that allow easy installation and removal. This solution allows you to fix the panel with ropes or screws.
Fixing Options: LOXX snap fasteners
Snap fasteners with manual release for a quick installation. LOXX snap fasteners allow a safe and easy to remove installation. This fixing method is suitable for fabric and sheets of plastic material as well as rigid structures like the hull of a boat.
Fixing Options: Zipper
Zipper sewn on the edge of the panel, almost like a dress. The zipper is suitable for the bimini of your boat as well as for the energy independence of your camping tent. Easy to install and easy to remove, it's the ideal solution for those seeking maximum versatility in SolbianFlex products.

>> Elegance at its best
The top SP Solbianflex series can be offered with a completely new look. A masking layer placed over the solar cells changes the visual appearance of the solar panel, but keeping the high efficiency of back-contact cells largely unaffected. Solbian
panels, beyond being easy to integrate, powerful and reliable, will also contribute to the elegance of your boat, caravan, house.

Energy Flyer
The most advanced solar USB charger ever made
The most advanced solar USB charger ever made
Energy Flyer features a built-in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) electronic board, to maximize the power delivered by the photovoltaic panel, and enough power to charge a smarthphone in one hour. More devices can be connected simultaneously.
SP Series
Power at the highest level
Power at the highest level
SP series is at the top of the range, thanks to the use of selected back-contact monocrystalline silicon cells, reaching a record 24% conversion of sunlight into electricity and with a pleasant appearance thanks to the electrical contacts hidden on the back. Back-contact cells represent the most advanced technology on the market, and make the SP Solbian panels the highest-efficiency flexible panels.
SR Series
Super Rugged solar panels
Super Rugged solar panels
The monocrystalline high efficiency SR cells are sandwiched by two patented metallic grids. The grid on the front is carefully tailored to optimize the current harvesting, while the one behind the cell offers strong mechanical support. The grids essentially form a double shield that acts as a conducting reinforcement to the solar cell. Extreme crack and bend tolerance are built in, enabling novel crystalline silicon architectures. A guaranty of high efficiency and unmatched durability in flexible solar pane
