Flexopower Namib 240W Foldable Solar Panel

Short Summary

The Flexopower Namib 240W Foldable ETFE Solar Panel is a premium portable solar solution for clients who need dependable off-grid charging without carrying unnecessary bulk. Built for overlanding, camping, remote work, and field use, it combines strong 240W output, shingled solar-cell technology, ETFE encapsulation, and a lightweight foldable design for practical power in South African conditions.

Why This Product

When clients spend several days off-grid, they need a solar panel that is easy to transport, efficient in real-world conditions, and durable enough for repeated use in camp. Many portable panels fall short on packing size, shading performance, or long-term durability.

The Namib 240W helps solve that with a compact foldable layout, high-density shingled solar-cell technology, and premium ETFE encapsulation. It gives clients a more practical way to keep batteries and portable power systems charged while reducing the usual compromises around space, weight, and reliability.

Key Features

• 240W portable solar output – Strong charging capacity for off-grid camping, overlanding, and remote power needs.
• ETFE encapsulation – Built with Neoflon by Daikin (Japan) for durability, transparency, and improved weather resistance.
• Shingled solar-cell technology – Higher power density helps maximise active panel area and reduce losses from partial shading.
• Parallel cell configuration – Helps limit performance drop when parts of the panel are shaded.
• Compact foldable design – Packs down neatly for easier transport and storage behind a seat or in a drawer system.
• Lightweight construction – At 6.9 kg, it is easier to handle, deploy, and pack away than larger rigid alternatives.
• Grey temperature-smart fabric – Designed to absorb less heat than traditional black fabrics, helping maintain output in the sun.
• Collapsible support legs – Positions the panel at an optimal 45° angle for improved solar harvesting, especially in winter or lower sun conditions.
• Reinforced tie-down loops – Makes it easier to secure the panel in camp.
• Grey Anderson SB50 connector – Practical connection option for compatible off-grid systems.
• Unique serial number – Provides traceability and quality assurance through the manufacturing process.
• Portable carry handle – Improves day-to-day handling and transport.

Ideal For

• Clients needing a foldable portable solar panel for 5+ days off-grid
• Overlanding and 4x4 expeditions
• Off-grid camping and extended stays in camp
• Remote work sites requiring portable solar charging
• Emergency and field operations
• Marine and RV applications
• Clients looking for a premium lightweight solar panel with better shading resilience
