Description
SoloPower SFX1-i3-105 105W CIGS Flexible Solar Panel 64" RV Boat Camping
The SoloPower SFX1-i3-105 is a 105-watt flexible thin-film solar panel using CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) photovoltaic technology. At just 8.5 lbs and only 1 inch thick, it is dramatically lighter than conventional glass-framed panels of comparable wattage. The flexible substrate allows the panel to conform to curved surfaces — as shown in the photos, it can be rolled into a cylinder — making it well suited for installations where a rigid panel will not fit.

Applications
CIGS thin-film flexible solar panels like the SFX1-i3 are designed for installations where weight, thickness, and the ability to conform to a surface are priorities. Common applications include RV and camper van rooftop solar charging, marine/boat decks, and portable off-grid power setups for camping or emergency preparedness. The 35V operating voltage is compatible with standard 24V MPPT charge controllers, and the MC4 connectors allow straightforward integration with most residential and mobile solar balance-of-system components. SoloPower produced these panels in Portland, Oregon in the early 2010s as part of a push to bring CIGS thin-film technology to mobile and commercial rooftop markets — the same basic CIGS chemistry used in large utility-scale thin-film installations. The flexibility of the laminate makes these panels a practical choice for curved metal roofs, fiberglass boat hulls, and similar substrates where drilling for a rigid rack is undesirable.
This SoloPower SFX1-i3-105 flexible CIGS solar panel has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The cell surface shows no visible damage, and the flexible backing is intact. The junction box and MC4 output cables are present and appear undamaged. As shown in the photos, the panel flexes fully — the roll shot demonstrates the substrate is supple and crack-free. Normal handling marks may be present on the backing. Note that the color of the cells and/or borders may vary slightly from the panel shown in the photos, as this is inherent to this product line.
