Marine Solar Panels

‘Marine grade solar panels are designed to meet the special requirements of the marine environment, with superior waterproofing, corrosion resistance and wind resistance, making them more suitable for use on ships.

Flexible solar panels are lighter and thinner than traditional rigid panels and can be adapted to various curved surfaces, making them suitable for boats with limited space.

Solar panels usually need to be connected to a marine battery via a solar controller to ensure safe and effective charging and to prevent overcharging of the battery.

To maximise efficiency, ensure that the panels are exposed to as much sunlight as possible, avoid shading, and undergo regular cleaning and maintenance.

The choice of solar panel power should be based on the boat's electricity needs. Some common choices include 100W, 200W and 300W panels, depending on your equipment's power consumption and hours of use.
