165 Watt Walkable Marine Solar Panel with Maxeon Sunpower Cells

Upgrade your van with the Semi-Rigid 165 Watt Walkable Marine Solar Panel. This is our recommended panel for all Sprinter Vans with our rack and deck panels due to the dimensions of the panel.

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

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.
