BougeRV ISE131-130W CIGS Thin-Film Solar Panel
Features
CIGS solar cell, in full copper indium gallium selenide solar cell, thin-film photovoltaic device that uses semiconductor layers of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity.
- Flexible —— Can fit around curved structures, flexible for all shapes.
- Stable output —— Stable output can still be guaranteed in shadow occlusion environments.
- Waterproof —— No worry about using in wet environments.
- Lightweight —— No frames, no special stands or mounting brackets needed.
- Glass Free —— Nothing to be broken.

Limited Warranty
BougeRV provides 18-month warranty service for the solar panel. Please read and follow the safety instructions in the manual carefully. The warranty service takes effect from the date of purchase. Please provide the order number of the purchased product and the serial number (bar code) attached to the front of the solar panel when applying for warranty.
Safety Instructions: The Limited Warranties do not apply to any of the following: The solar panel which in BougeRV’s absolute judgment have been subjected to misuse, abuse, neglect or accident, alteration, or improper installation, application, or removal. This includes, but is not limited to, installation, application, or removal by any party other than a BougeRV authorized dealer; non-observance of BougeRV’s installation, safety instructions; power failure surges, lightning, flood, fire, accidental breakage, or other events beyond BougeRV’s control.

How To Use
Solar Off-grid System
-
1. Peel off the protection tape in order. - Attach the solar panel to the ground.
Solar Power Station System
Compatible with various types power stations
As long as your other cable is equipped with MC4 connectors, then it could
connect with our connector of the solar panel.
Note: Connecting the power station does not need connecting with the solar charge controller.
Series Connection
The panel can be wired in series to produce the desired voltage output.
Parallel Connection
The solar panel can be wired in parallel to produce the desired current output with the solar parallel connector.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes the low output power or no output during the use of solar panels? How can I solve it?
- Light intensity: Latitude, altitude, and sun altitude angle will affect the light intensity; multiple measurement results show that high temperature does not equal strong light intensity.
- Solar installation angle: In the same geographical location, due to the different installation inclination angles, the cumulative amount of sunlight absorbed and the cumulative difference in radiation amount causes the difference in power generation. It works best when the solar panel is roughly perpendicular to the light.
- Solar panel surface temperature: When the solar panel surface temperature is 77℉, the output power is ideal. When the temperature is higher than 77 degrees Fahrenheit, the output power will decrease.
- Shadow occlusion: During the working process of the solar panel, due to the partial occlusion of the shadow and the different degrees of dust settlement, the pollution of bird droppings will cause the “hot spot effect”, and the shaded part of the solar panel will not provide power contribution and will not be used in the solar panel. The interior becomes an energy-consuming load, and at the same time causes the local temperature of the solar panel to increase. The overheated area can cause the EVA to accelerate aging and turn yellow, which reduces the light transmittance of the area, further deteriorates the hot spot, and leads to aggravated failure of the solar panel. Therefore, when using it, you should avoid blocking things and clean the surface of the solar panel regularly.
- Load factors: When charging the energy storage, it will be limited by the maximum PV input current and voltage of the energy storage. Therefore, the input power value displayed on the energy storage display does not represent the maximum output of the solar panel. Please confirm the PV input related parameters of the energy storage before use;
Due to the own characteristics of PWM, there is a certain switching loss in the process of connecting with the solar panel, so the input power obtained by the battery will be lower than the maximum output of the solar panel.
Why the solar panel can’t provide 100% of the output energy？
- Limited by light intensity. Please refer to Q1 for more details.
- Limited by the solar charge controller. The output conversion efficiency of the PWM controller is 75%, and the output conversion efficiency of the MPPT controller is above 90%.
- Limited by the power station. The PV input voltage and PV input current of the power station will limit the output of the solar panel. It’d be better to confirm the input parameters of the power station before building a solar panel system.
What should I do if the solar panel I received is damaged, missing parts,
or has no output?
Please send relevant pictures to our after-sales mailbox
service@bougerv.com immediately, and leave your
order number. We will reply one by one according to the chronological order
sent by the customers.
What kind of device can be charged by this solar panel？
- Solar Power Station
- Lead-acid Battery（need the solar charge controller）
- Lithium Battery（need the solar charge controller）
BougeRV sells different kinds of MPPT/PWM controllers, lithium iron phosphate battery and power stations to build your solar system.
How do I need to install this solar panel?
Tear off the protection tape behind the solar panel, and then stick the solar panel to the ground.
How should I roll my rollable solar panel?
Always roll the Rollable Solar Panel solar side out. Rolling solar side in will damage the panel and affect performance.
BougeRV Solar Panel comes with an 18-month warranty that commences from the
date of purchase.
