Solar Panels for Sailboat?

[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

Photovoltaic panel manufacturing is a mature industry. There’s probably “dozens” of decent brands.

Any recognizable brand making bifacial panels is going to be ‘good.’

REC, Hyundai, Canadian, Jinko, Kyocera, Longi, Silfab, Qcell are just some that are off the top of my head. There’s probably 20 USA-made mfgrs.
