and long life in harsh and high-heat marine environments. These ultra-thin and exceptionally rugged panels have
been concieved specifically for use on yachts, floating light structures and life rafts, but can also be used on RVs,
electric cars, etc., or almost any location with flat or slightly curved surfaces.
Premium Quality - Maximum Efficiency
The heart of the SOLARA Premium 42-cell Series is a string of 42 mono-crystalline, high-performance cells that
are reinforced by a powder-coated stainless steel panel to give maximum strength and corrosion resistance.
The use of 42 cells, the highest cell-count in class, results in a higher operating voltage and greater output in
hot locations such as Florida, Mexico and The Caribbean. Carefull cell selection ensures minimum losses from
