Premium Flexible Marine Solar Panels For Boats
High Performance CMP Flexible Marine Solar Panel Specifications Summary
SunPower Maxeon Series
SunPower Maxeon Shade Tolerant Bimini Solar Panels
We have developed a flexible solar panel series using SunPower Maxeon cells that has superior performance when partially shaded by boat equipment. The junction box is mounted in the center of the panel enabling the panel to have four quadrants of solar cells linked in series and isolated with diodes. If one or two quadrants are shaded, the other quadrants perform at normal output. The result is a panel that will provide up to three times the output of a standard panel when shaded. While the center mounted junction may be a wiring issue for some installations, the panels are ideal for bimini and dodger mounting where there is boom, mast and instrument pole shading.

Unique features of our flexible marine grade panels include the following:
- Quality materials - We use impermeable ETFE laminates that will not cloud of degrade with exposure to intense UV light.
- High Performance when partially shaded: We have blocking diodes throughout the panels to shut off non-producing cells automatically and draw power from producing cells. Our cells are A+ grade cells that continue to produce power even when partially shaded.
- Grade A+ SunPower solar cells - The panels are comparable in performance to our rigid panels. They produce high power at low sun angles and when partially shaded - ideal for cruising sailboats and all marine applications needing maximum output from limited space.
- Mounting flexibility - Flexible panels will contour and flex against curved surfaces with a maximum bending radius of 30 degrees, ideal for mounting on a bimini top or a curved deck surface.
- Mounting options - Each panel can be affixed by high bond tape, snap, magnetic or screw mounting. Our screw mounting system has become the most popular method of attaching solar panels to canvas biminis and dodgers. Grommets are an added bonus for ease-of-installation.
- Plug and play - All panels come with industry standard waterproof MC4 connectors on 3 foot (1 meter) long pigtails.
- Maximum output with shading - The panels are equipped with blocking and by-pass diodes so a shaded panel has minimal effect on the solar array performance.
- Purchase options - These panels can be purchased individually or as a complete easy to install kit.
- Durable - Although not recommended, the panels can be lightly stepped on.

829.00
These panels are ideal for mounting on a canvas bimini or dodger. They provide excellent performance when shaded by the boom, mast or anything else because they are split into four quadrants that all operate independently so if one quadrant is shaded the other three have full power output. Video on them Here. They have the highest efficiency commercially available SunPower solar cells at 24.4% allowing maximum power per square inch available. Mounting grommets and blocking diodes (protected by silicone) are included. They come with two 3 foot pigtails with MC4 connectors on the positive wire and the negative wire. Best to run them between bimini support bars, not over the bars to avoid cracking the solar cells. Bolt kits are how we recommend mounting them though magnet kits work well also, holding to 35 knots minimum though have held to over 55 knots. Video on them Here. To complete a solar system, add a solar controller and solar wire with MC4s pre-attached. Note: originally we had the junction box in the middle, we have moved it to the end for easier wiring and have kept the panel separated into four sections, each of which produces power independently of the other sections.
