Sunman eArc 430W SMF430-12X12UW, Flexible Solar Panel using a new Half-cut design using the latest M6 monocrystalline passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) cells reduces internal resistance and creates two independent strings within the panel, effectively reducing the effect of shading when on one side.
This newly improved, compact Mono-PERC cell technology enhances the year round performance compared to conventional cells, as some of the light that hits the back of the cell is reflected back and converted to current.These lightweight yet robust CEC Approved panels are perfect for various applications, including caravans, motorhomes, yachts, trains, and buses.
These lightweight yet robust CEC Approved panels are perfect for various applications, including caravans, motorhomes, yachts, trains, and buses.
As these panels require specific handling due to their size and shape, free shipping applies to MOST capital cities and metro addresses;
Regional addresses and delivery to Perth/Darwin/Hobart may incur additional costs for transport.
Contact us for freight options.

Optional Mounting Solutions
Multiple mounting options available, ensuring a secure and efficient installation that meets your specific needs.
Please carefully follow the mounting instructions here which include the below:
- Vented Gap Kit (most recommended): Improves panel efficiency and reduces surface heating. Includes high bond double-sided adhesive tape and polycarbonate strips. (Height increase of approximately 15mm)
- High Bond Double-Sided Adhesive Tape: Provides a low-profile, secure bond for smooth surfaces. (2.3mmH x 12mmW x 16.5mL)
- Bi-Adhesive Backing: We can fit a continuous sheet of 1mm bi-adhesive material on the back of the panel for easy peel-and-stick installation on smooth surfaces.
- Structural Silicone (Fix8): Can be used to adhere the panel to a surface.
- Eyelets: We can press eyelets into the panel so it can be secured using bolts or screws.
We can also supply a pre-mounted Butyl tape option however please note this adhesive is near permanent and almost impossible to remove without damage.
If in doubt, please Contact Us and we can discuss your particular application.
Please Note: Marks that appear as scratches or scuffs may be visible on the front sheet when viewed in person at particular angles. These marks are a natural result of the manufacturing process, specifically how the rollers apply materials, and are typically present on all eArc models. This is an aesthetic issue only and the performance and durability of the panel is not affected.
