Are SunWare TX modules are the best flexible solar panels?

You own a boat? If you think you have no space on board for solar panels then take a look at SunWare‘s innovative new way to snap-on panels. SunWare’s new textile framed TX-series solar modules will do the job. German made the Sunware textile solar module is one of the best options for your boat. 

Can you walk on flexible solar panels?

In theory you can walk on any type of solar panel, but either you or the panel, or both, might not be very happy with the outcome! You definitely don’t want to walk on aluminum-framed glass panels, but other types are designed specifically to be walked on, like Solara’s Standard and Power M series or certain flexible solar modules made for caravans, boats and motor-homes.

Can I walk on Sunpower flexible panels? No, SunPower does not recommend it. In SunPower flex modules, regular stepping can cause cell cracking and, while the cells maintain electrical connectivity, cracks can still lead to some power loss beyond the control of SunPower. Additionally, walking on the panels will void the warranty.

Shading is an issue for solar panels on boats?

A very useful feature is that each panel works independently of the other and thus should one be shaded the other continues to operate. SunWare solar panels are made in Germany and the new TX textile range is offered in multiple “leaves” of 50W up to 200W.  You can find out more at www.sunware.de or from their UK distributor like 0Bills. 

How long does a flexible solar panel last?

In general, the flexible panels are less durable, but solar manufacturers offer the same 5-year warranty on workmanship & 25 years on power output as their rigid panels. In general, the installation of flexible panels is going to be simpler than rigid, and put fewer holes in your roof.

How fast will a 100 watt solar panel charge a battery?

Based on the earlier calculation, a 100 watt panel will produce an average of about 30 amp-hours per day (based on an average sunny day). This means you would need three 100 watt solar panels or one 300 watt panel to fully recharge your battery on the average day.

What size solar panel do I need to charge a 12 volt battery?

A 12V battery needs at least 13.6 volts to charge, therefore under worst case conditions a solar panel needs to output at least 13.6 volts. This means that in perfect conditions a 12V solar panel may output around 17V or more.

How much solar power do I need for my sailboat?

If the boat has “normal” monocrystalline solar panels, i.e. not the high efficiency ones with SunPower® cells, they will produce around 1/4 of the rated watts output in amp/hours per day; so with these types of panels the boat will need at least 100 watts (25 amp/hours x 4 = 100) of solar just to keep the fridge and your battery charged. Sunware panels are perfect for base power generation on a sailboat.

How long does charging take?

This will depend on your panel wattage, your battery watt-hour (Wh) capacity (a measurement of storage capacity) and the weather. A 150 Wh battery will charge faster than a 500 Wh battery because the 500 Wh battery has more storage capacity, therefore requiring more time to fully charge. In addition, a 100-watt panel will charge a battery faster than a 50-watt panel exposed to the same amount of sunlight.

Charging time will be affected by weather, shade, time-of-day, age and use of battery, efficiency of the charge controller, placement of the solar panels, and other operational factors. Be sure to look on your solar-compatible battery for an estimate of charging times as well as panel-wattage compatibility, and always check the charging characteristics of the battery to ensure it’s compatible with the wattage of the panel.

For higher battery capacity (greater than 150 Wh) we recommend using a 100-watt panel. Before doing this, however, please ensure that the battery you are charging is compatible with this wattage and use a compatible charge controller.
