Discover the Advanced 155 Watt Walkable Marine Solar Panel
Discover the outstanding performance of our semi-rigid 155 watt walkable marine solar panel, designed specifically for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram Promaster vans. These are NOT your typical flexible solar panels! With premium HJT solar cells, these panels offer great efficiency, featuring a durable backing and ETFE laminate non-skid surface that is designed to be walked on. Ideal for van roofs, they redefine versatility in solar energy solutions.Â
The panel's advanced HJT technology delivers up to 6-12% more energy than standard monocrystalline cells. 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%. They are available with a white or black backing. The white backing is better at dissipating heat and is recommended for hot climates and the black backing looks exceptional and is recommended for colder climates. For maximum space utilization and functionality on your van roof, combine these walkable solar panels with Orion's modular deck panels for the ultimate solution.
