Does Flexible Solar actually work?
Our solar awning features cutting-edge Flexible Heterojunction with EPFE Film (HBC) technology, designed to thrive in Australia's harsh environment. This innovative solar cell design ensures efficiency, durability, and longevity, even under the most challenging conditions. The EPFE film is what makes
Built for the Outback and the Aussie Bush: These solar cells are engineered to withstand the extremes of wind, rain, and relentless Australian sun, maintaining performance despite the elements. Their durability ensures years of reliable energy, even in demanding environments.
Superior Heat Resistance: Unlike traditional panels, HBC cells minimize efficiency losses at high temperatures. This ensures consistent power output even on the hottest days, making them ideal for your outdoor adventures. The large volume under the awning allows for much more air flow than a traditional roof mounted panel.
Omnidirectional Cells: Each cell captures and focuses light onto the solar surface, reducing the reliance on sun angles for optimal performance.
Efficient Design: With all electrical contacts on the back, there’s no shading on the surface, maximizing sunlight absorption. These panels also perform exceptionally well in low-light conditions, ensuring dependable energy throughout the day.
With this advanced technology, our solar awning delivers high-efficiency power, built to last in Australia's rugged conditions, so you can enjoy peace of mind on every adventure.

Flexible Solar Awning - Unlock the Potential of Off-Grid Living
The world’s first rollable solar awning gives you the freedom to stay off-grid for as long as you want. With the 16ft model peaking at 1200W—and consistently delivering 800–1100W in sunny conditions—you’ll have the power to run big appliances off-grid without worry. Yes, that includes keeping the aircon on while still charging your batteries.
Built tough, this awning has already completed two full laps of Australia with no loss in performance. And if a cell does happen to break, each one is individually fused so the awning keeps producing reliable output. Every awning is backed by a 3-year warranty for peace of mind.
An anti-flap adaptor is on the way, and like all standard awnings it’s roof-rafter compatible.
For about the price of a premium electric awning, you’re getting 1050W of solar built in. We also include a free Victron regulator to guarantee that output, though the awning works with any high-voltage regulator. The 16ft version runs at a nominal 105V.
We offer professional installation onsite at Award RV, or you can install it yourself with the detailed step-by-step manual included.
Take the next step in your off-grid journey and never worry about power on the road again.
Next Gen Performance:
At the heart of the Flexible Solar Awning is the cutting-edge solar cell technology HBC cells, encapsulated in ETFE Flim. These advanced cells convert more sunlight into usable energy compared to traditional solar cells, ensuring high efficiency and reliable power even in low-light conditions. The technology excels in maximum shading, guaranteeing consistent power generation throughout the day. With a focus on durability and longevity, these cells provide a sustainable and reliable energy source for all your off-grid adventures.
High-Quality Construction and Components:
Built to withstand the harshest conditions, the Solar Awning features heavy-duty aluminum construction available in sleek black or silver finishes. The mounting plates are designed for easy installation on flat surfaces, providing stability and strength. The awning extends up to 2.3 meters (7.55 feet), offering ample shade and protection from UV rays with 100% UV blockage. When retracted, it maintains a compact thickness of just 14 cm (5.5 inches).
Impressive Power Output:
The Flexible Solar Awning is available in two models, each tailored to meet different power needs:
LA12850 (12ft): 850W power output, 105V nominal voltage, and 70A peak amperage @ 12V. Ideal for smaller setups requiring robust power output.
LA161050 (16ft): 1050W power output, 95V nominal voltage, and 88A peak amperage @ 12V. Perfect for larger RV setups needing extensive power.
