SunPower® Fixed Frame Panels
At Sun Powered Yachts we've been busy working in the background setting up a channel with SunPower to make some of their fixed frame DC solar panels available for marine and RV applications. We're pretty excited that this has come together and can now offer the SunPower® X-Series 350W, 360W & SunPower® A-Series 410W solar panels. Why not enjoy even more power if you have the 'roof space' available.
Built with Maxeon™ Gen 3 solar cells, delivering up to 22.7% efficiency and up to 360 watts.
Built with SunPower's newest Maxeon™ Gen 5 solar cells, delivering up to 22.3% efficiency and the world’s first 400W panels.
What are the new A-Series?
The SunPower® A-Series AC panel for residential & commercial projects was launched in March 2019, but the new SunPower® A-Series DC panel was made available from March 2020. Both panels are built with Maxeon™ Gen 5 solar cells which are 65% larger than prior generations, converting more sunlight into electricity. Set a record of your own with the world’s first 400-Watt solar panels, providing more power than ever before from fewer panels aboard your boat.

Which charge controller do I need?
The SunPower fixed frame panels we would suggest having connected to their own MPPT charge controller, particularly when connected to a 12V battery bank:
350W - Victron 100|30 360W - Victron 100|50 410W - Victron 100|50

Where are these available?
Sun Powered Yachts can now sell the SunPower® fixed frame 350W, 360W & 410W panels direct to customers planning to use them on their mobile applications (such as boat or RV). Visit our shop for more product info or just let us know where you are located and a few details about your planned install by completing the Enquiry Form below and we can discuss your installation further.
We still highly recommend that you consult with a local professional for the install as the panels require much more consideration & a level of expertise during the install for a number of reasons including increased panel weight (up to 41lb) and increased voltages (up to 69.5V). You will likely benefit from a professional installation by a company with the knowledge & experience to do so. Below are a few companies that we recommend.
