Sun Powered Yachts has donated a SunPower 1x100Watt bundle for this year's Summer Sailstice.
'We hope to inspire and inform yacht owners on the benefits of going solar and help reduce their impact on the natural environment and marine life.' - Sun Powered Yachts
Solar power has virtually no environmental impact. With no moving parts, solar panels are clean and silent, and produce no atmospheric emissions or harmful greenhouse gases. They're also easy to install, maintain and if you need to, remove and store. Sun Powered flexible solar panels can be easily installed on your bimini, dodger or deck, and can be connected together to custom build a system to suit your own boat and your own energy needs.
And how do they perform when there's no sun? The flexible panels can produce power in all types of weather. On partly cloudy days they can produce as much as 80% of their potential energy, and on extremely cloudy days they can still produce about 25% of their maximum output. Plus, they're built to withstand hail impact, high wind, and freeze-thaw cycles!
With a background in sailing and solar, as well as from living off-grid for 12 years in Hawaii, Katie and Lyall have the knowledge to help you with your solar install. They’re available for solar consultations, with Sun Powered and Maxeon panels in stock and ready to ship. Find out more about them on their website: https://www.sunpoweredyachts.com/
