Summary

Shade-Tolerant 100 W flex, low module efficiency

What it is: a 100 W N-type flexible fiberglass panel with a 27-diode shade layout and an IP68 rating
The trade-off: it holds output better in partial shade, at a price above the Arch 2.0 100W and with low output per square foot
Not checked: the shade tests found were run on the 200 W size, not this one
Look elsewhere for: more watts per square foot or a long output warranty

Strengths

Shade-tolerant diode layout
Fully waterproof rating
Light for its output
ETFE front rather than PET
Higher voltage suits long cable runs

Drawbacks

Low output per square foot
Priced above the plainer Arch 2.0 of the same size

Praise: on r/sailing an owner of the 200 W Arch Pro said it hardly notices partial shading and matches his bifacial rigid panels (October 2025)
Shade complaint: on r/solar a balcony owner of the 200 W said it gave about 11 W with a third shaded, less than his old pair of 100 W panels (July 2026)

Durability: a DIY Solar Forum owner who paid $400 each for three Yuma 200 W CIGS panels found no delamination after a 30-day, 1,100-mile boat trip (December 2025)
Output: the same owner measured a new Yuma 200 W at 137 W, level with a pair of glass panels in the same sun (August 2024)
Free unit: another forum owner, given his first Yuma 100 W by BougeRV for review, bought two more and logged about 20 percent more daily output than a monocrystalline panel (September 2023)
The Gadgeteer: measured a 100 W CIGS 10 to 20 W below a folding panel lying flat; the review carries affiliate links and a $40 code (November 2022)
Shade: a Sprinter-Source owner chose a 200 W CIGS for producing power when nearly 75 percent shaded (June 2024)

Damage test: HOBOTECH found a second 200W still made 108 W after ten projectile hits, and called the panel tough and shade tolerant (November 2025)
Proficient Prepper: posts a 10 percent BougeRV discount code; read 182 W unshaded and about 140 W under a simulated leaf pattern, with zero output at about 80 percent covered (December 2025)
