SunPower's latest Maxeon Generation, premium solar cells have an efficiency rating of up to 25.4%, the highest efficiency available anywhere. Ideal for rigid surfaces like van roofs, RV roofs, or sailboats. There is no glass and no aluminum frame so these panels are considerably lighter than rigid panels but heavier and stiffer than typical flexible panels. They can be bent slightly to match up with the underlying surface, about 5%. The expected life is 10+ years if used in a harsh marine environment. They are available with white or black backing. The white backing is better at dissipating heat and is recommended for hot climates and the black backing looks great and is recommended for colder climates or fully blacked-out rigs. We also offer these panels in 120, 150, 175, 225, and 330-watt power outputs. See the below chart for full specifications. If you have any questions please contact us.

Installation:
There are a few ways to mount semi-rigid walkable marine solar panels on a rigid surface.
- If installing on a Stealth+ Sprinter Roof Rack with Sprinter Deck Panels we recommend two methods: 1) Use stainless drop-in T-Nuts, bolts (medium thread-locker), and washers and align at least one side of the solar panel with the crossbar channel. 2) Rivnuts or Plusnuts with oversized washers/ fender washers on all 4 corners. (*mounting hardware not included as each installation can require different hardware)
- Use an optional walkable panel mounting kit which consists of two 'J' shaped aluminum extrusions. The extrusions can be bolted/rivnut to the deck panels and the solar panel slid into position. Email us if interested. These should be used if a panel is placed at the very front of a rack behind the front deflector.
