500W 12V Shingled Flexible Mono Solar Panel Caravan Camping RV

500W 12V Flexible Shingled Solar Panel for Caravans, RVs & Camping

This 500W 12V shingled flexible mono solar panel is designed for lightweight, low-profile solar charging on suitable caravan, RV, boat, 4WD and camping installations. Its 990 × 770 × 3mm format can suit applications where the height and weight of a traditional framed panel are less practical.

Before ordering: measure the mounting area, confirm the surface and installation method are suitable, and check that the controller can accept the panel’s 21.8V open-circuit voltage and 27.84A short-circuit current.

Why choose this 500W flexible solar panel?

• 500W rated peak power under standard test conditions
• Shingled monocrystalline cell construction
• Low-profile 3mm panel design
• Suitable for selected caravan, RV, marine and off-grid installations
• Compatible with lithium LiFePO₄, AGM and deep-cycle battery charging when used with correctly matched equipment

Technical specifications

Suitable applications

• Caravan and RV roof solar systems
• Camper trailers and 4WD touring setups
• Marine, boat and other suitable low-profile installations
• Camping battery-charging systems
• Lightweight off-grid installations where panel height matters

Controller and battery compatibility

Use a compatible MPPT solar charge controller, DC-DC charger with solar input or hybrid inverter that can safely accept the panel voltage and current. Check the controller’s maximum PV voltage, input-current limit and battery-charging profile before connection. Browse compatible lithium batteries and AGM batteries.

When combining panels, series connections increase array voltage and parallel connections increase array current. Recalculate the complete array against the equipment limits rather than relying on the rating for one panel.

What’s included

• 1 × 500W 12V flexible shingled mono solar panel
• Pre-terminated solar leads

Mounting adhesive, brackets, extension cables, controller, fuses, isolators and batteries are not included unless purchased separately.

Flexible-panel installation guidance

Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Avoid sharp bends, pressure points, unsupported gaps, trapped heat and highly uneven surfaces that can stress the cells. Do not walk on the panel unless the manufacturer explicitly permits it.

For caravan and RV roofs, confirm the roof material, structural support, adhesive or fastening method, water sealing, cable route, airflow and access for future inspection. Use correctly rated cabling, connectors, fuses and isolation equipment, with qualified installation assistance where required.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for a caravan?
It can suit a caravan or RV where the roof area, mounting surface, panel dimensions and electrical system are compatible. Measure and verify these points before ordering.

Can it charge a lithium battery?
Yes, when connected through a compatible controller with the correct lithium charging profile and sufficient PV input capacity.
