This was our first van-specific walkable panel, now discontinued. See our new and improved walkable panel options here.

Discover the outstanding performance of our semi-rigid 160-watt walkable marine solar panel, designed specifically for Sprinter, Transit and Promaster vans. These are NOT your typical flexible solar panels! With premium HJT solar cells, these panels offer good efficiency, featuring a durable backing and ETFE laminate non-skid surface that is designed to be walked on. For the best solar cells and efficiency, look at our 160W SunPower panel. Ideal for van roofs, they redefine versatility in solar energy solutions.

The panel's advanced HJT technology delivers up to 6-14% 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%. The white backing is better at dissipating heat. 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.

Power

The panels work great and I have yet to plug in to shore power. I have left the battery heaters on and the power takes care of the battery’s first thing in the morning. I have only been on one trip. Ran all power and never was below 550w in the morning.

Thank you for your positive feedback on our 155 Watt Walkable Marine Solar Panel! We are glad to hear that it has been providing enough power for your trips and taking care of your battery's needs. We hope it continues to exceed your expectations in the future.

Awesome DIY Roof Rack with Walking Solar Deck!

The Orion roof rack with their deck panels allowed us to get 600 watts of walkable solar panels on our 170 sprinter! This roof rack system has a Maxxair Fan, a 12v AC, a full deck, and 600 watts of walkable solar! Can't beat that.

Very clean and secure look

I had made some washers, but these ones just make it look cleaner and there more secure. Nice job guys I would recommend them to anyone.

This is a fantastic solar panel for my sprinter. It's very thin and bulletproof, very walkable.

I just finished the install of the MaxxFan Deluxe, replacing a stock vent fan in our new Class C MH. Following the written (and online ‘how to’ videos) guidance, the install was straightforward. Most of the 3.5 hour job was spent cleaning off the old lap sealant in preparation for the new fan.

Fan works well in all functions. Thank you MaxxAir for a good product and thank you Orion for a great sales price!

So quiet. Easy to install. We received the wrong item from Orion (black interior control panel vs white) We contacted them via email and they immediately gave us several options to make it right. The fan works great and the customer service Orion provides is top notch.

Hi Jamye, Sorry about the mix-up with the interior panel, but we're glad we could resolve it quickly. Thanks for your kind words and video! Its a slick fan!

Amazing product so far. Big pro is it's low draw on my jacket 600v. 4 days of use and the battery percentage is still at 70%. Convenience of the remote being able to be used from anywhere. The noise level is very low at 40-50% fan power. I chose this unit instead of maxxair because it matched my van aesthetically and it's very low profile that i'm still able to park inside my work's parking structure. The con was during installation, this unit did not come with a sleeve that bridges the gap from the headliner to the fan itself. It did not sit flush and the manual **** that pushes up the metal rod(the longest one) does not reach because of it. I have to rely on the remote. Very good purchase and it's perfect for what i use it for.

We’re glad to hear the NomadicArk fan has been working well for your setup, especially the low power draw, quiet operation, remote control, and low-profile fit for parking structures.

One note on the install: the AirPlus is designed differently than a MaxxFan and does not use or include an interior sleeve. The fan is rated for a maximum roof thickness of about 3 1/8'. By comparison, a MaxxFan 7500K includes a sleeve-style interior garnish that can accommodate a thicker roof/headliner stack, up to about 6'.

Thanks again for the feedback, and we’re happy it ended up being a great fit for your van.

Orion Van Gear offered the best pricing on my two new MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe fans and they arrive SO fast. The install on our our 5th wheel went exceptionally well. Thank you for the great experiences.
