The MiPV Flextron 110W CIGS flexible solar panel has become one of the most popular flex panels in the UK van conversion community, and for good reason: its extraordinarily narrow 358mm width and 2434mm length slot perfectly into the roof channels of VW T5 and T6 Transporters, Sprinters, and similar vans where wider panels simply won't fit. UK-manufactured by BIPVco on stainless steel foil — no glass, no frame.
Why it works for overland and van builds: If your roof has rain channels or a central spine that cuts your available mounting width to less than 400mm, this is the panel that was made for it. CIGS thin-film technology produces solid output in the shade-affected, overcast conditions of UK and European travel, and the many bypass diodes mean a shadow on one section barely affects the rest. Sticks down with Sika adhesive — no drilling, no rack, no noise at speed. At under 3kg/m² the roof load is minimal. Vmp 28.6V makes it compatible with 12V MPPT systems.
