The panels are considerably lighter than rigid panels but heavier and stiffer than typical flexible panels. They can be bent slightly to match 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 other walkable solar panels in 65, 100, 155, and 175-watt power outputs. See the chart below for full specifications. If you have any questions please get in touch with us.

-
Direct Deck Mounting: Screw/bolt the panel down directly to the deck surface on all 4 corners using stainless bolts with oversized washers and nylock nuts.
Note: If placing a panel at the very front of a rack use a 'J' shaped aluminum extrusion. The extrusion is mounted on the long side of the panel (front edge) in addition to the corner hardware.
