Choosing a solar panel kit for your yacht couldn’t be easier.

All SunWorks marine kits contain one or more marine solar panels and the appropriate charge controller. We also include the correct cable. Each kit is supplied with fully illustrated instructions. The instructions provide you with plenty of guidance and recommendations for a reliable installation.

What size of solar panel do I need?

Trickle charging your battery can usually be achieved using a 65 watt solar panel kit.

If you want to provide some surplus energy we advise fitting a 100 watt panel kit. This will give you additional power in the summer months and more reliable charging during the winter.

If you are interested in becoming independent of the mains hook-up or you have a very large yacht you should consider fitting a 200 watt solar panel kit.

Which batteries can I charge?

Choose an UNO kit if you only want to charge your leisure battery.

Alternatively choose a DUO kit if you want to charge both your leisure battery and your engine battery.

We stock kits with standard SunWorks LCD charge controllers as well as MPPT charge controllers.

Examples of suitable marine solar panel kits:

1. You want to be independent of the mains hookup and want to charge engine and leisure batteries: Choose a 200-DUO-FLEX kit.

2. You only want to charge your leisure battery but need to do this reliably during summer and winter. Choose a 100-UNO-FLEX kit.

Do I need anything else?

Each installation is different. Therefore our kits contain the essential electrical items, carefully matched to work together. You may also need:

Sikaflex adhesive. For fixing the solar panel to the roof. One tube is needed for each panel.

Watertight roof gland. Takes the cable securely through the deck of your boat.

Fused battery harness. Makes the connection to your battery safe and easy.
