Sunware Solar Panels
Updated Thursday 06/08/2009 2:52pm
Sunware solar panels are designed and tested specifically for use in marine and salt water. The panels are completely maintenance free, durable, and weatherproof. Even under extreme exposure to uv rays whether in the caribbean, the mediterranean, or the north sea sunware solar panels are always a reliable partner. Their distinctive feature are all 12v standard solar panels are designed with 39 cells. Consequently, sunware solar panels can be fitted without rear ventilation. Thus, any voltage drop due to high outside temperatures is compensated by the 3 additionally integrated cells to enable a full recharge of the battery. The back of the module is completely flat so that it can be screwed or glued flush to the deck. Sunware standard solar panels should always be fitted to a firm, inflexible surface.
Sunwares 24W and 36W Marine panels are ideal for boats with low to medium battery charging requirements. They effectively maintain and replensih batteries whilst away and typically replace some of the power consumed whilst on board.
Sunwares 70W, 48W Compact and 69W Compact are suited to live-aboards and those spending holidays on board, assisting in keeping the refigerator and other important appliances running.
