Boat shows
Sun Powered Yachts officially launched at the Annapolis Sailboat Show 2018 and had a very busy show, read our blog post. It was great to chat with so many people about going solar aboard their yachts. From those looking to trickle charge their batteries with a SunPower 50W to large catamarans installing 10x SunPower 100W panels it was a fantastic opportunity for us to highlight the benefits of going solar & identify what sets SunPower flexible panels apart.
We soon realized that it's important for us to be available, approachable and demonstrate the SunPower E-Flex panels. We have exhibited at a number of boatshows and look forward to being able to do so again soon.
Who we follow
The more time that we get to spend in the marine industry you come to realize that it's one big family! It's great to have met, and come to know over the years, so many people that enjoy their time in and around sailing. We would like to highlight some of the awesome people and the services they bring to the sailing world, get in touch with them & ask questions - we all started somewhere and love to answer questions :)
