Spectra 5W Semi-flexible Solar Panel

Spectra

£71

Quantity:

The smallest panel in the Spectra range, this marine-grade slimline polycrystalline solar panel is ideal for topping up batteries on small yachts (or indeed any other boats, or even caravans). It is best suited to battery banks of less than 100Ah.

Marine grade materials are used throughout, and the panel will even flex gently to fit the curve of a deck or coachroof! Simply screw down using the four grommet holes in the corners,or use our recommended adhesive Sikaflex.

The Spectra range of panels are fitted with diodes to prevent the battery discharging at night through the panel, so they can be wired directly to the battery bank. However, to prevent risk of overcharging we always recommend the use of a quality solar regulator. For any of the Spectra range, the SunGuard regulator is the most appropriate.
