LightSolar 105W Black Solar Panel (1018 x 503 x 4mm)

The NDS LightSolar 105W Black Solar Panel is a lightweight, ultra-thin solar panel designed for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, boats, and off-grid vehicles. With its frameless semi-flexible design and only 4mm thickness, the panel is ideal for installations where weight and roof space are limited.

The panel produces 105W of solar power, making it suitable for maintaining and charging 12V leisure batteries used to power lighting, water pumps, USB chargers, fans, and other onboard electrical systems.

LightSolar panels use high-efficiency monocrystalline photovoltaic cells with approximately 18.75% efficiency, allowing reliable power generation even in challenging sunlight conditions.

The cells are embedded in a multi-layer laminated structure with a durable ETFE protective surface, which offers excellent resistance to UV exposure, corrosion, and weathering. The lower aluminium layer helps dissipate heat while reinforcing the panel structure.

This robust construction allows the panel to withstand impacts and minor scratches while maintaining performance, making it suitable for caravan roofs, campervan pop-top roofs, and marine installations.

How This Solar Panel Works

A solar panel converts sunlight into electricity to charge a 12V leisure battery.

Typical Caravan Solar System

Solar Panel → Solar Charge Controller → Leisure Battery → 12V Appliances

Role of Each Component

Solar Panel

• Converts sunlight into DC electricity.

Solar Regulator

• Controls voltage from the panel.

• Prevents battery overcharging.

• Improves charging efficiency.

Leisure Battery

• Stores the electricity generated by the solar panel.

This system allows caravans and campervans to generate renewable energy and extend off-grid camping time without mains power.
