The solar panels of choice...
|
|
...and a must for long distance cruising
|
Imagine, everytime you board your yacht, all the battery power is immediately available. Satellite
navigation, computer, refrigerator, engine starting and all the on board comforts and safety features for a
day cruise or trip on the high seas. You too can
enjoy that convenience with the right solar battery
charging system.
SunWare solar panels have the highest power output
to surface area ratio of semi-flexible 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. They
have been specifically designed for marine
environments and so are built to the very highest
quality standard of materials and workmanship. Each
solar panel is individually tested to industry standards
and this is backed up by a 3 year warranty.

·
A clear EVA surface which thermally seals the photovoltaic cells to protect them against water ingress
and is bonded to the stainless steel substrate.
|
|
·
A V4 marine grade stainless steel substrate that is totally resistant to atmospheric corrosion and
salt water. The back of the panel has a white powder coat finish for extra protection.
|
|
·
A structured Teflon coated surface which can be walked on in deck shoes and is designed to reduce the possibility of slipping even in wet weather.
|
|
·
SunWare panels are slimline and flexible up to 3% (=3cm over 1m) across their length so they can be conveniently placed on curved solid surfaces.
|
|
·
Each panel is conveniently supplied with 3m of sea water-tight cable and also includes a diode junction box kit. This can be installed at a convenient location before the regulator or battery to prevent reverse power from the battery to the panel in darkness.
|
|
·
SunWare panels are supplied for 12V battery charging. Multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase Ampere hours or series to increase voltage to 24V. (24V panels available to order).

SunWare solar panels are particularly efficient at converting sunlight into power as all models are made up of 39 or 40 cells, a feature that has 3 distinct advantages over standard 36 cell marine solar panels:
1) They run cooler and therefore deliver better performance, especially in summer months and in hotter climates.
2) The additional cells assist in compensating for lost voltage in overcast conditions delivering power for longer
than solar panels with less cells.
3) The additional cells keep the operating temperature lower thus avoiding reduction in efficiency and allowing the panels to be installed directly onto the surface without the need for rear ventilation. 36 cell panels experience a fall in efficiency in high temperatures.

Marine Modules
SUNWARE’S 24W & 36W Marine modules are
ideal for boats with low to medium battery
charging requirements. They
effectively maintain & replenish
batteries whilst away and
typically replace some
of the power
consumed whilst on board.
The 70W Marine module
is suited to live-aboards and
those spending holidays on board,
assisting in keeping the refrigerator
and other appliances running.
|
Compact Marine Modules
The Compact range is truly space saving and with modules available in the high
power range these are the module of choice for live-aboards. 2 or more units
or even alongside a Rutland Windcharger these modules will reduce engine
running time for live-aboards.Available in 48W & 69W the Compacts use
39 cells ensuring the best possible ratio of power generated to surface area.
