Marine Grade Solar Panels
Pole Mounted Solar Panel with Integrated Hoist
A number of our customers have asked us to provide complete marine solar systems including the solar panel, electronic controller and mounting hardware. So, we went to work to obtain the best solar panels for marine applications.
The ideal solar panel for mounting on a pole must be highly efficient, nearly square in shape and robust enough to withstand the harsh marine environment. We offer three solar panels that are built to our specifications. For the cruising boat with modest power requirements, we recommend our 90 watt polycrystalline panel and for the cruising boat with greater power requirements we recommend our 130 watt monocrystalline panel. Both panels are excellent for mounting on a pole or bimini frame. We also offer a 160 watt monocrystalline marine solar panel for high power requirements. All CMP solar panels are high quality and backed with a 10 year manufacturers and CMP warranty.
We have developed easy to assemble top-of-pole mounting kits specific to our 90 and 130 watt panels.
Matching your solar panel to your charge controller can greatly increase the system charging ability, reducing battery charge time and increasing battery life. Our complete solar panel kit provides everything you need to install and operate a marine solar system; solar panel, pole mounting assembly, charge controller, wire and instruction manual.

90 Watt Solar Panel
Our 90 watt polycrystalline
solar panel is one of the most efficient panels available at 16% efficiency and will perform well in both full and partial sun. Ideal for top-of-pole mounting in a 12 volt system. Specifications: Rated Power 90 Watts (+3%,-3%) Peak Power Voltage (Vmpp) 18.0 Volts Peak Power Amps (Impp) 5.5 Amps Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) 21.2 Volts Short Circuit Amps (Isc) 5.0 Amps Manufacturers Warranty 10 Years Dimensions (inches) 26.78" x 39.37" Weight (pounds) 18 pounds Output Connections: MC4 Connectors Note: This panel is comparable in performance and size to the Kyocera KC85T (an old favorite of ours) which is discussed on our Blog. The KC85T and KC85TS are no longer manufactured. | 130 Watt Solar Panel
Our 130 watt monocrystalline solar panel is rated at 16.5% efficiency. You will be impressed by the output in full sun as well as its performance in partial sun. The rectangular dimensions of this panel enables maximum output with minimal space requirement and is ideal for top-of-pole mounting in a 12 volt system.
Specifications: Rated Power 130 Watts Peak Power Voltage (Vmpp) 17.6 Volts Peak Power Amps (Impp) 7.7 Amps Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) 21.8 Volts Short Circuit Amps (Isc) 8.86 Amps Manufacturers Warranty 10 Years Dimensions (inches) 31.52 x 48.98 Weight (pounds) 24 pounds Output Connections: MC4 Connectors |

What size of solar panel do you need?
85 Watt Solar Panel
The amount of power needed while cruising
depends on many factors including the energy used by appliances and
lighting, the output of the engine alternator, the climate and the
length of time away from shore power. These and other factors will
determine the amount of solar power and thus size of the solar panel(s)
you may need.
