Shade-Tolerant 200 W, needs A Long roof

  • What it is: a 200 W CIGS thin-film flexible panel with pre-punched holes for curved RV, van and boat roofs
  • The trade-off: light, glass-free and shade-tolerant, but it needs a roof over 82 in long and turns little of its area into power
  • Owners: one forum owner's pair lost output after one was damaged; another's matched glass panels side by side
  • Not checked: BougeRV publishes no front-sheet material for the Yuma line
  • Look elsewhere for: the most watts from a short roof

Strengths

  • Light for its rating
  • Glass-free build bends to curved roofs
  • Waterproof junction box and connectors
  • Bypass diodes limit shade losses
  • Long product warranty

Drawbacks

  • Low output per square foot of roof
  • Output falls faster in heat
  • Long panel needs a long clear roof
  • No power-station adapters in the box
  • Front-sheet material unpublished

It measures 82.8 x 27.1 x 0.06 in (2102.5 x 689 x 1.5 mm in the manual) and weighs 5.95 lb. The spec table gives temperature coefficients of -0.38 %/°C for Pmax and -0.28 %/°C for Voc, and an operating range of -40 to 185 °F.

BougeRV's page says it has multiple integrated bypass diodes and rates it to 2400 Pa, and its Amazon listing rates the junction box and connectors IP68. The leads end in MC4 connectors; the manual says adapters for power stations are not included.

About

We compare products properly: every one scored against published criteria, with what independent sources actually say kept separate from our own assessment.

The method is published so you can see what a score means. Where evidence is missing, the page says so rather than showing an invented number.
