Sunlinq 12 Watt Folding Solar Panel
Folding Solar Panel is excellent choice for powering up electronic devices through solar energy in the remote area or on the road. It has already been effectively tested for powering up handheld radios, trickle charging, GPS devices, IPOD, power rechargeable flashlights, cell Phone, MP3, running Bilge pumps, Fish finders, lanterns, CB radios, Satellite phones, small color Television, Portable XM satellite Radio and Portable games.
Most of the Folding Solar Panel, Flexible Solar panel models are light weight and quite flexible. The new Folding solar panels are said to be build with weather proof durable technology. Not only are these flexible solar panels rugged but also very compact and lightweight. All these miniature Folding Solar panels can fit on the backpack at least the compact models and some of the model can fold down to very small size that can fit into small area. Few models have Built-in grommets that allows for mounting or hanging.
It’s application can be increased manifold by hooking up with power pack, on 100 watt inverter and high output battery that is charged by the folding solar panels, generates usable AC power supply, which can be used for powering many electronic devices like laptop or any other devices that can be easily plugged into built in socket or use power pack USB charge port to charge IPOD or cell phone.

Sunlinq 12 Watt Folding Solar Panel
Solar Panels are one of the essential part of solar electricity generating system. They are alternatively called as Solar cells or Photovoltaic Solar cells is one of the best way to generate electricity.
There is lot of progress going on in field of solar cells technology, basically, Photovoltaic cells are build with crystalline silicone wafers along with trace element coating. It generates electricity by utilizing photons received from the sunlight, after reaching solar cells surface electrons gets excited by photons and results in electricity.
Each company could have slightly different variation of output power generated for the solar cells, due to difference in their process, material and technology. As we put more wafers in arrays, more electricity and power can be achieved.
As technology is advancing much rapidly then before the cost of solar cell technology is reducing significantly. Also, there are lot of manufacturers in the field of solar power technologies and using better techniques, the cost of production is sure to come down.
The long term advantage of using Photovoltaic Solar Panels or solar panels is that it provides free Solar Power Electricity for the its lifetime with least amount of maintenance and definitely it creates less pollution then it’s other electricity generating counterparts.

1.) For Durability reasons, Fold the folding solar panel along the pre-defined creases.
2.) Keep the solar cells facing inwards while folding.
3.) Bending panels improperly can cause cells to break out.
4.) Bending could also cause plastic layers to crease or bubble.
5.) Washing though special process like dry cleaning, machine drying or machine washing can cause permanent damage.
6.) Charge the lead acid based batteries only in a ventilated area.
7.) Charging no-chargeable batteries can blow up.
8.) Do not keep it inside water; wipe the product with dry cloth. Always clean the product with dry cloth and let it dry before keeping it in storage.
9.) Always be careful about the polarity of the connections.
10.) Optimize utilization of folding solar panel for outdoor activities, when not using, keep it at the cool and dry place for long life.

Sunlinq 12 Watt Folding Solar Panel
Flexible solar panel is another amazing innovation in solar cell technology. They are made up of lightest thin film. Few companies have made it so flexible that one can roll up it like a paper. Its flexibility is based on the material being used for building solar and protecting polymer over it. Solar cells contained in these panels are integrated monolithically, which does not require a need for manual connections between solar cells. In most of the cases it utilizes very less amount of silicon material than required for building conventional solar cells. Also, in some of the product, it is said to be free of chemical toxics like cadmium.
Flexible Solar Panel has started to inspire people and entrepreneur. It is providing boost to innovation and new heights to usability. Currently, manufacturers are utilizing the flexible nature of these Solar panels by embedding and fitting it into the products, like in clothes, backpack etc. It can easily charge mobile devices, cell phones, PDA, Laptops and different types of batteries based on the watt rating. One could also place it on metal roof structures, parking structures, RV, Boats; it can easily adjust to the bends.
These panels are also protected by polymer lamination that helps in withstanding harsh weather conditions and heat. Also, if the crystalline silicon is used rather then amorphous silicon, it can enhance efficiency and longer lifetime of solar cell. It usually has high efficiency, reliability and durability. It can expose large area for sunlight absorption, still it is light weight and flexible. These are covered under warranty for about 20 years on output power efficiency in many cases. These are suitable for energizing devices which requires power between 5 and 100 watts. Some module may have diode protection which prevents overcharged battery from flowing back current into the panel.
Finally, Flexible solar panels are better option in terms of its flexibility, area it could expose for sunlight absorption, bending capabilities and efficiency. There will be separate article on buying the right solar panel for your power need.
