MARINE SOLAR PANELS APPLICATIONS

Ships can use high-quality solar panels to power their vessels, reducing fuel consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and harmful exhaust emissions, driving ocean navigation to a greener future.
Determine The Allowable Installation Location and Area
You first need to consider covering the ship’s solar power system in the locations where it is allowed to be installed (e.g., roof, deck). Not every space on a ship can be covered with solar panels, nor can you decide on an arbitrary number of installations.

You need to depend on the actual situation of the boat. Some boaters will install solar panels on the stern or the deck of the boat. Some people install solar panels at the mast of a sailboat. Sungold customizes the size and power of the solar panels to suit your needs.

How Marine Solar Panels Work?
The photovoltaic solar panels on your boat receive sunlight to generate electricity and charge the batteries through a controller. The battery stores the energy. It provides an auxiliary source of electrical energy for the ship. Solar power generation is still mainly used in power systems such as machinery in the machinery compartment and brakes on the engines.

Save Energy
It is worth emphasizing that the main fuel for powering a ship is still fuel oil. On larger ships, solar power provides a relatively low share of the total electricity used on board, less than 8%.
However, solar panels can continuously power the batteries at almost no cost, reducing your energy consumption.
Sungold LEE or TF Series Flexible Solar Panels
The use of special lightweight and flexible solar panels allows for the installation of more solar panels on board, such as awnings, inclined surfaces, and areas that need to be accessed.
Both the LEE series and TF series use high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells with high conversion efficiency and have an IP67 waterproof rating. You can choose according to your actual situation.

Durability

The quest for more durable and long-lasting solar panels. You can consider Sungold LEE series or TF series flexible solar panels. They both offer high performance and long-lasting durability.

Anti-stepping

The quest for anti-stepping and good flexibility solar panels, Sungold TF series will be your optimal choice. They all have a great flexible performance, there is no need to worry when you are stepping on it.

High Corrosion Resistance

The quest for high corrosion resistance, Sungold will be your best solution. Our LEE series flexible solar panels have been praised by many customers for their corrosion resistance.

Solar Panel Installation

There are several ways to install solar panels on your boat.

1.Use a special adhesive (3M adhesive or silicone) on the solar panel. Attach the solar panel directly to the place where it is allowed to be installed. For example, on the deck or mounted on a special mounting frame.

2.Use a special bracket. There are mounting holes in the solar panel. Attach the solar panel to the bracket and tighten the screws to make sure it is secure. Fix the bracket on the boat.

To choose according to the needs of the boat. Sungold can advise on the various options available.
