Increase
your batteries life expectancy
When you install a Solara solar panel you will
lengthen your battery life span exeptionally. Why buy a £100
battery every year because of in-effective charging, when
you can pro-long the battery life up to on average 6-7 years
with a long-life solar panel.
Amazing
26 year panel life expectancy
These solar panels come complete with a 26 year
life expectancy and a 2 year manufacturers guaratee. If the
panels fail due to a manufacturers defect they will be replaced
under the guarantee.
Automatically charge up your batteries
Just fit & forget - And these solar panels
will provide you with highly efficient trickle charge into
your batteries in all day light (There doesn't need to be
bright sun shine, these panels work just as powerful in low
sun light.)
No
maintenance, No hassel
No need to adjust charge settings. The solar
regulator (supplied with our solar kits) will automatically
look after the charge settings and protects your batteries
from overcharging or discharging. Simply wipe over the panel
occassionally with a a wet cloth to keep the panel clean.

Insatllation
You can either fix your panel to the decking
of your boat with special purpose adhesive Sikoflex glue or

Solar Panel Advanced Features
These solar panels have a very unique design
- They can be walked upon with no fear of broken
glass or damage and have a non slip surface. They are so robust,
that they are almost unbreakable.
On the front of the panel the high efficiency
teflon photovoltaic glass material will provide you with unlimited
daily power. On the back is a strong V4A stainless steel plate
which is seawater proof and acid resistant.
The cable outlet is potted and screwed to the
solar panel which rules out cable oxidisation and penetration
of moisture into the panel. The 1 meter cable length which
is connected to the junction box on the back of the panel
is also made of weatherproof material and does not become
brittle when exposed to strong solar radiation, wind or water.
This range can be fixed with adhesive or screwed
in each corner through the pre-drilled holes, and due to the
synthetic surface has approximately a 3% flex - Ideal
for marine cock pits.
They also has an additional black edge-protection
(optional) made of uv-resistant synthetic with stainless steel
reinforcement. An attractive and useful way to finish the
panels edge.
