Solar Panels

[tholley]

Hi,

I’m planning on adding 3 450 watt bifacial solar panels to a stern arch on my 47’ sailboat. Looking for high performance and suitable for marine environment with max width of 41”. Would like to use “tier 1” panels. Any suggestions for panels that fit this bill would be much appreciated.

thank you,
Tim

You can find discounted panels on FB. Look near your vessel. I just bought a 545W bifacial for $250. Shipping represents most of the cost. Best to find local surplus.
