150 Watt Walkable Marine Solar Panel

Free Shipping to the lower 48 states the next day via UPS ground.

This remarkable semi-rigid 150W walkable monocrystalline marine solar panel features A-grade PERC solar cells, capable of impressive performance even in partial sun. These are NOT your typical flexible solar panels! With a strong aluminum backing and an extra thick ETFE laminate non-skid surface, these panels can be walked on (and even danced on) without fear of damaging the solar cells. They are ideal for mounting on a van or RV roof and are a perfect match for mounting directly to Orion's Modular Sprinter Roof Deck Panels. For the most efficient use of space on your van roof and better overall function, Orion's modular deck panels combined with these walkable solar panels offer an optimal solution.

The panel's advanced PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact) technology delivers up to 6-12% more energy than standard monocrystalline cells. 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 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. We also offer these panels in 63, 120, 225, and 330-watt power outputs. See the below chart for full specifications.

Installation: 

There are four standard 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. 
• They can be screwed/bolted down directly to the deck surface at each corner.  We recommend either a stainless bolt with an oversized washer/fender washer and nylock nut.
• They can be taped down directly to the deck with double-sided Very High Bond (VHB) tape.  Because the back side of the panel has a pebbled surface like the front side for air circulation, the tape must have a foam core of at least 1/8 inch to secure the panel.
• Use our walkable panel mounting kit which consists of two 'J' shaped aluminum extrusions. Buy the 1" VHB tape from Amazon on your own. The extrusions are mounted on each side of the long sides of the panel and adhered to the deck surface with the tape.  If the deck surface is not conducive to adhering the tape, the 'J' extrusions can be screwed to the deck and the panel slid into position.  This mounting method allows for the panel to be slid out of the extrusion for removal and cleaning of the deck surface.
