  • Whats your goal here? Are you planning to ride around the country on like an electric mountain bike or something? Im not sure you’ll get a compact solar panel that can change a battery in an hour, my panles on my house can only put out 250watts, 50v at 5 amps in full sun, at a brief glance and some dodgy math it would still take 2-3 hours to change an e-bike battery


  • I’m not an expert either, I don’t think the plastic is crucial to power generation performance, how ever I don’t know what else would give good flexibility without electrical conductivness, eg if you had a alloy foil backing and somehow the panel got damaged you could potentially have the whole thing become energized and whatever it’s stuck to, in saying that perhaps a rubber mat backing or some kind insulated cloth would be the way to go,
