Flexopower utilizes shingled solar cell technology. Shingled solar cells have a higher power density and are more resilient to partial shading losses. Also referred to as high-density packaging. It represents a significant advancement in solar module design. Focusing on maximizing the active area of a solar panel by eliminating the spaces between individual solar cells.

Engineered for Maximum Output

✅ Teflon (ETFE) encapsulation

Made from Neoflon by Daikin (Japan) — the gold standard for durability, transparency, and weather resistance.
Outperforms common PET or PVC laminations in longevity and UV stability.

✅ Shingled solar-cell technology

Cells are laser-cut and overlapped (shingled) for higher power density and greater resistance to shading losses.
Parallel configuration ensures minimal performance drop even when partially shaded. Surives bites from wild animals and gun shots.
Compact design reduces footprint and packing volume.

✅ Temperature-smart fabric

The grey surface absorbs less heat than traditional black fabrics, improving sustained output during long hours in the sun.

✅ Collapsible support legs

Integrated fold-out legs set the panel at an optimal 45° angle for maximum yield, even during winter or low-sun conditions.

✅ Secure and portable

Reinforced fabric loops for pegging or tie-down.
Compact folded size: fits behind a seat or in a drawer system.
Unique serial number for full traceability and quality assurance.

Long-Term Review: Disappointing Durability for the Price
After searching for a lightweight, foldable, and portable solar panel for camping, I decided to treat myself and invest in the Flexopower Namib 240W. It was a significant purchase, and I had high hopes given the premium price tag.
Over the past few years, I’ve used the panel on approximately 18 camping trips, each spanning a few days. Unfortunately, the performance has deteriorated significantly. The panels now struggle to produce more than 80 watts, even under optimal midday sun. Additionally, a protective coating is beginning to peel off, creating a mess and further diminishing usability.
Given the cost, I expected a far more durable and reliable product. Regrettably, the quality has not lived up to expectations, and I cannot recommend this panel based on my experience.
Note: cleaning has always just been with a damp microfibre cloth.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re genuinely sorry to hear that your Namib 240W panel has declined in performance after several years of use. We always aim for our products to serve our customers reliably for as long as possible, especially for camping and off-grid applications where dependable power is essential.

That said, we do want to clarify an important point for anyone reading your review:
the Namib 240W you purchased three years ago is not the same panel we manufacture today. The newer-generation Namib panels use a completely upgraded cell technology, improved ETFE/Teflon surface, reinforced internal wiring, and updated quality controls. These improvements directly address the very issues you experienced and make the current model significantly more durable and more efficient.

Products inevitably evolve over time, and we want to ensure that potential buyers understand that your feedback relates to a much older version which is no longer in production.

We’d still like the opportunity to assist you directly. If you’d be open to it, please contact our support team with your serial number so we can take a closer look at the unit and see what we can do to help — even outside the standard warranty window.

Thank you again for your feedback and for being an early Flexopower customer. We truly appreciate it.

Great panel, delivers the power as advertised and works well with a compact design.
