SunWare solar panels have the highest power output to surface area ratio of semi-flexible panels on the market.
They have been specifically designed for marine environments.
- A clear EVA surface which seals the photovoltaic cells to protect them against water ingress and is bonded to the stainless steel substrate.
- AV4 marine grade stainless steel substrate that is totally resistant to atmospheric corrosion and salt water.
- The back of the panel has a white powder coat finish for extra protection.
- A structured Teflon coated surface that can be walked on in deck shoes and is designed to reduce the possibility of slipping even in wet weather.
- Each panel is supplied with 3m of seawater-tight cable and 36W and above panels also include a diode junction box kit.
SunWare solar panels are particularly efficient at converting sunlight into power as all models are made up of 39 or 40 cells, a feature that has 3 distinct advantages over standard 36 cell marine solar panels:
- They run cooler and therefore deliver better performance, especially in summer months and in hotter climates.
- The additional cells assist in compensating for lost voltage in overcast and low light conditions delivering power for longer than solar panels with fewer cells.
- The additional cells keep the operating temperature lower thus avoiding a reduction in efficiency and allowing the panels to be installed directly onto the surface without the need for rear ventilation. 36 cell panels experience a fall in efficiency in high temperatures.
Each solar panel is individually tested to industry standards and this is backed up by a 3 year warranty. All models specified are 12V. 24V panels are available to special order.
