Flexible Multipurpose Solar Panels

The Solarflare Flex Solar Panels are Lightweight

— June 10, 2019 — Eco

Priced at $749, the panels are capable of being integrated into any existing setup that users might have to let them capture energy throughout the day. The panels are capable of even working in shady weather conditions to make them ideal for digital nomads or those living the van life to maintain power at all times when away from traditional power sources.

The Solarflare Flex solar panels come in three power options including 105 watts, 125 watts and 180 watts, and are all inherently flexible in design to be mounted on just about anything.
