155 Watt Shade Tolerant Flexible Solar Panel - Sunpower A+ Grade 24.4% Efficient Cells
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.
