Description
The Maxxiom Flexible Solar Panel 210W is a durable, semi-transportable panel just 3 mm thin and 3.3 kg – a fraction of the weight of a rigid panel. Its monocrystalline cells run at 22% efficiency, and because it flexes it can be adhesive-mounted to curved or flat surfaces where a framed panel simply will not go. Pair it with the Kelpie Portable for solar charging wherever you are, or add capacity to a PowerBox.

Key Features of This Lightweight Solar Panel
- Monocrystalline cells with 22% efficiency
- Flexible and just 3 mm thick – follows curved surfaces
- Adhesive mounting for non-permanent installation
- Standard MC4 connectors – plugs straight into Maxxiom systems
- 3.3 kg – light enough to carry, reposition and travel with
- Output tolerance +/- 3%
Where a Flexible Panel Wins
Curved and awkward surfacesA van roof, a caravan, a cabin curve, a container top – places a rigid framed panel physically cannot sit flat.
Weight-critical installs3.3 kg versus 20 kg-plus for a comparable rigid panel. It matters on vehicles, light structures and anything you carry.
No frame, no rackingAdhesive mounting means no rails, no brackets, no roof penetrations – and nothing to catch the wind.
Genuinely portable powerRoll it out with a Kelpie Portable and you have real solar charging anywhere you park.
Efficient for its size22% monocrystalline cells – it is not a compromise panel, it is a different form factor.
Standard connectorsMC4 out of the box, so it works with Maxxiom systems and standard solar wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a flexible panel compare with a rigid one?
Same job, different trade-offs. This one is 3 mm thin and 3.3 kg with 22% monocrystalline cells, and it bends to fit curved surfaces with adhesive mounting – no frame or racking. A rigid framed panel is heavier and needs mounting hardware, but is the usual choice for a large permanent ground or roof array.
What can I stick it to?
Flat or gently curved surfaces that are clean, sound and stable – a van or caravan roof, a cabin, a container. Surface preparation matters for adhesion, so talk to us about your surface if you are unsure.
How many do I need for a Kelpie Portable?
Depends on how fast you want to recharge. The Kelpie Portable accepts up to 3,520 W of solar, so multiple panels can be combined. Our technical team can advise on a combination for your usage.
Is it as efficient as a normal panel?
Its cells run at 22% efficiency, which is competitive. The practical difference is total output per panel: at 210 W it produces less than a 440-510 W rigid panel, so you need more of them for the same array size – the trade you make for the weight and flexibility.
Can I walk on it?
No – treat it as you would any solar panel. It is flexible for mounting to curves, not for foot traffic.
Does it come with the adhesive?
Talk to us about your installation – the right adhesive depends on the surface. We can advise on the method for your application.
Will it work with my existing solar setup?
It uses standard MC4 connectors at 18.5 V Vmp / 21.83 V Voc, so it works with Maxxiom systems and standard solar wiring. Check the string voltage and current against your charge controller.
Is it suitable for a permanent off-grid home array?
Usually not the best choice. For a fixed home array we would specify rigid 440-510 W panels on an engineered mount – fewer panels, less installation labour, easier servicing. The flexible panel shines on vehicles, curves and portable use.
Can I remove it later?
It is designed as a non-permanent, adhesive-mounted installation. How cleanly it comes off depends on the adhesive and surface used.
Can I use it with the Quick Panel Mount System?
The flexible panel is normally adhesive-mounted, but if you want a rigid, tiltable, movable option the Quick Panel Mount System is worth discussing with our team.
