MARINE SOLAR PANELS ADDED TO RANGE

NEW! We have added the excellent Spectra and Sunware range of semi-flexible solar panels to our range. Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, ideal solar chargers for yachts, boats and caravans.

If you are looking for a robust solar panel for your yacht, boat or caravan we can now supply a full range of the excellent Spectra and Sunware semi-flexible panels.

Solar Battery Maintenance

Use a solar panel to charge your battery and be greeted by fully charged batteries every time you return to your yacht, boat or caravan!

The solar panel will keep your battery in a fully charged state which not only extends battery life, therefore reducing replacement costs but will also make your life easier!

What Size Solar Panel?

As a rule of thumb, to replace natural battery drain through the winter months in the UK we work on 10W of solar power to every 100Ah of battery capacity.

This will ensure your battery is maintained through winter when we have minimal sunlight hours and you are less likely to be using your boat.

Come the summer months and longer sunshine hours, the solar panel will also offer useful additional charge to the battery to offset drains on the battery from use of on-board lights and appliances. This means reduced engine running time and more peace and quiet!

Spectra Solar Panels

The following semi-flexible Spectra panels are now available :

Ideal for lighter charging duties the Spectra panels offer efficiency and reliability at an affordable price.

Sunware Solar Panels

The following semi-flexible Spectra Solar Panels are now available :

The 24W and 36W solar panels are ideal for boats with low to medium charging requirements.

The 48W and 69W solar panels are compact (small for their size if you know what I mean!) and are well suited for use on yachts with higher charging requirements.

SunWare solar panels have the highest power output to surface area ratio of semi-flexible solar panels on the market. Their efficient polycrystalline cells convert sunlight to power into your battery so you can have the luxury of cool drinks and keep the essential equipment like the depth sounder running too.
