Description
Uni-Solar PVL-24 24W 5V Flexible Amorphous Solar Panel 36in Rollable Solder Points
The Uni-Solar PVL-24 is a lightweight, flexible 24-watt amorphous thin-film solar panel made by United Solar Ovonic. At 36 inches long, it is the shortest panel in the PVL series, and its three-cell amorphous silicon construction generates a nominal 5V output. The panel rolls down to approximately 6 inches in diameter for transport, and its pressure-sensitive adhesive backing bonds directly to curved or flat surfaces without fasteners.

Applications
The PVL series was developed by United Solar Ovonic as a building-integrated and vehicle-integrated photovoltaic solution — panels that bond directly to roofing and body surfaces rather than sitting in a rack frame. The amorphous silicon cell technology performs better than crystalline silicon in low-light and diffuse-light conditions, and the flexible substrate makes these panels well suited for curved and non-planar surfaces. The PVL-24 is particularly useful for small-roofline applications where a standard rigid panel won't fit: golf carts, VW vans, camper van roofs, boat decks, and experimental electric vehicle body panels are all common installations. The rollable form factor also makes it practical for portable off-grid use — hikers and backcountry users have carried rolled PVL panels for remote battery charging. For corrugated metal roofing, a common field installation method is to attach 18" × 2" metal strips to the corrugations every few feet and bond the panel to those strips, preserving the adhesive backing between strips in case the panel needs to be removed later. Three PVL-24 panels wired in series will output a voltage appropriate for 12V lead-acid battery charging; additional panels or a charge controller can be added to suit other battery bank configurations.
Uni-Solar PVL-24 24W Flexible Amorphous Solar Panel — new and unused. The panel shows no wear or use, and the adhesive backing cover is intact. This 36-inch panel comes with three amorphous cells and is ready to wire via solder points on top; no cables or junction box included. Original packaging may be opened or missing. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
