BougeRV Yuma 100W Compact CIGS Thin-Film Flexible Solar Panel, The Most Flexible Solar Panel with Tape for Easy Installation (Compact Version)

But boy, oh boy am I impressed! I read and watched reviews of the BougeRV CIGS solar panels. I hated the price being more than double the cost of standard flexible solar panels, but after having two $150 standard flexible panels die after two and 2.5 years, I wanted something more reliable. The BougeRV CIGS panels come with a 10 year warranty and they also show better performance in heat (taped to a camper roof, for instance) and less power production loss over time. So I bit the bullet and ordered this 100w CIGS panel for $250. It was a bear to remove my old panel; I had used VHB tape and EternaBond to be sure it was not going to fly off going down the highway. I cleaned my roof real good with 91% alcohol to prep it for the new panel.This panel came with some kind of butyl rubber tape attached, as sticky as EternaBond but double sided sticky. I stuck the panel down where I wanted it. Be very careful; you only get one chance to stick it down. Once it's stuck, it's stuck forever. As an extra security measure, I put a strip of EternaBond around the edges, just to assure that air could not get up under the panel and peel it off. I plugged it into my existing wires from my previous panel install and plugged it into my Jackery Explorer 1000v2. Excellent power production! Depending on the sun's place in the sky I was getting 60w early in the morning, and 90w at noon.One sad note (for me anyway) was that the voltage of this panel (25v) was too high for my cheap, no-name 300w power banks to handle. My Jackery can handle that input voltage just fine. So I have to charge my cheap power banks with my big Jackery; and luckily the Jackery allows for pass through charging. So while charging my cheap battery via Jackery, I'm charging Jackery via my BougeRV 100W. I know, it seems crazy, but it works and I can't justify replacing those power banks while they are still good, because I'm on a very fixed social security income. One other sad item. When I ordered this panel it was $250. Three days later it was $30 cheaper. Grrrr!But I am very impressed with this panel. And I'm already saving up to buy a 200w CIGS panel to replace my other dead standard 100w flexible panel.

I took a chance that this solar panel would be everything BougeRV claimed and I have not been disappointed.You can see that my 100 watt panel took in *126* watts. That’s not a fluke or mistake. When hooked up to a Bluetti I got the same type of readings as with my Victron. Seeing a sustained input in the 110’s to 120’s really happens. In the past 7 days in the often overcast PNW I’ve gotten over 100 watts three of those days.It performs well even in the extremely overcast days, such as the “yesterday” history.So in the end it was expensive but definitely worth it. If I could have afforded the 200 watt panel I would have, and I would recommend any of the BougeRV CIG panels.

Added two of the 200 Watt flexible CIGS panels to the front cap of my 5th wheel. Chosen for being very light weight, and ability to work even when partially shaded. Also chose the CIGS for it's flexibility and safety with no burn through issues. My 2 panels have been working great for over a year and a half.

Awesome panel! Easily installed on my Super Pacific camper and perfect for the EcoFlow battery. First one flew off on highway oddly, but they sent a replacement and it has been bomb proof!

I am so glad I listened to my buddy and bought these solar panels. I have had them on my boat for the past month and out of 600 watts have had over 430 watts several time. Even on the rain they still produce. Thank you for a great product.

The pre-applied adhesive is low quality and delaminated as one can see in the picture, while I was driving in the highway. As a result the panels were blowing around in the wind and got damaged plus left a terrible adhesive mess on my rooftop tent. The surface was proper cleaned and prepped prior to mounted the panels and they sat for 72 hours before being subjected to driving conditions. Very disappointing considering the price. The performance was good though - really good and much better than traditional silicon based. Thus, even more disappointing they used such a poor quality adhesive.

Rooftop rv roofs. Will work for a zero maintenance effort. Is exactly what you need for rv roofs. With lots of variables where a house roof is 10x better for solar and rv aren’t. 2 years on my rv still powers my lights fridge and cooking with 2x100 ah 12v lithium batteries. Crazy good. Also San Diego weather.

I was ok until it was gone.
