Our marine-grade solar panels are engineered for harsh offshore environments, delivering reliable power for buoys, navigation instruments, AIS systems, and ocean monitoring equipment. Built with anti-corrosion encapsulation and IP67 waterproof sealing, they maintain stable output under humidity, salt fog, and continuous solar exposure.

Why Marine-Grade Solar Matters
In open-sea environments, power systems must withstand salt corrosion, constant UV radiation, and humidity ingress. Standard solar panels degrade rapidly at sea, causing failure of critical equipment. Our marine-grade modules ensure long-term energy stability and prevent moisture penetration and corrosion.

Key Features & Technical Specifications:
• Salt-Mist Resistant: anti-corrosion encapsulation for corrosion resistance
• IP67 Waterproof: Prevents moisture ingress against waves, splashes, and condensation
• UV-Stable ETFE Coating: Excellent UV resistance and weatherproof capability
• High Efficiency PERC Cells: Premium monocrystalline cells for maximum energy harvest
• Stable Output: 5W power with 16.7V voltage, ideal for low-voltage marine devices
• Compact Design: 230x230x2.5mm dimensions for easy integration
