Sunbeam Carbon solar panel

Sunbeam Tough+ Carbon – The ultimate solar panel for awnings and biminis

Maximize your power supply without compromising on boat aesthetics or canopy durability. The Sunbeam Tough+ Carbon is the first solar panel specifically designed to mount directly to soft fabric surfaces like sprayhoods and biminis.

Why choose Tough+ Carbon?

Mounting solar panels on fabric has long been a challenge. Standard panels are often either too heavy, which damages the fabric, or too flexible, which causes the cells to crack over time. Sunbeam has solved this through an innovative carbon fiber reinforced sandwich construction . The result is a panel that is stiff enough to support itself, but extremely light so as not to strain the canopy fabric.

Main features:

• Carbon Fiber Technology: A lightweight, high-tech core provides superior structural integrity and durability compared to traditional plastic or metal panels.

• Shadow Optimized IQ: Equipped with integrated microprocessors that optimize the effect even when parts of the panel are in shadow from the mast, boom or shrouds – an invaluable feature in a marine environment.

• Sunpower™ Maxeon cells: With an efficiency of up to 23.7% , you get more energy per square meter than almost any other panel on the market.

• Quick Fix system: The panel is equipped with stainless steel snaps (Loxx) or eyelets that make installation on the canopy quick, easy and safe. It can be easily taken down if necessary.

• Tough surface: The award-winning, non-slip surface is extremely UV-resistant and lets more light through than regular glass, increasing daily production.

• Seamless design: Soft, transparent edges protect the canopy fabric from wear and tear and provide an elegant transition between the panel and the boat's fabrics.

Perfect for long-distance sailing and archipelago life

Whether you want to charge your utility batteries during a weekend in the archipelago or need reliable power for your refrigerator and navigation during a long voyage, Tough+ Carbon delivers world-class performance. Thanks to the carbon fiber construction, you don't risk delamination, making this a long-term investment for your boat.
