Unboxing Our Walkable Solar Panel for Boats and Vans

If you’ve been looking for a high-performance marine solar panel that can handle foot traffic and harsh marine conditions, you’re going to love our Walkable Solar Panel.

I’m Tom Trimmer with Custom Marine Products, and in this post I’ll walk you through what’s included in our 100 watt walkable solar panel package, how it’s designed, and why it’s one of the most advanced walkable panels available today.

What’s Included in the Box

Each Walkable Solar Panel includes everything you need for a simple, secure installation.

• 100-Watt Walkable Solar Panel – Built with high-efficiency SunPower A+ grade 24.4% solar cells, designed for durability and performance even when partially shaded.

• Polycarbonate Backing – Keeps the panel cool by allowing airflow underneath and protects your decking from heat buildup.

• J-Mount Channels – Securely hold the panel and polycarbonate base in place. The panel and backing slide smoothly into the J-channels for easy setup.

• Protective Corner Brackets – for shipping protection and easy to remove before mounting.

• Waterproof Junction Box and Cabling – Comes with 6 feet of marine-grade #10 cable (positive and negative leads) and waterproof connections.

• Instruction Manual – Complete setup and mounting instructions for both marine and van installations.
  

✅ All Walkable Panels (with part numbers ending with "P") come with J brackets and properly sized polycarbonate included.
Everything you need is right in the box — no need to buy mounts or backing separately.

Designed for Marine and Van Applications

Our walkable solar panels are ideal for:
⚡ Sailboats, boats, trawlers and powerboats
⚡ Catamarans and yachts
⚡ Vans

Each panel features marine-grade materials that withstand saltwater, UV exposure, and foot traffic. The textured surface provides traction while protecting the cells underneath.

High Efficiency, Even in the Shade

What makes this panel stand out?
It uses SunPower 24.4% efficiency solar cells, some of the best in the industry. Each panel is split into two independent halves — so if one side is shaded, the other continues to produce power.

That means consistent performance when you need it most — whether you’re anchored under a boom, docked beside a sail, or parked near trees in your van.

Easy Installation Options

You can mount the Walkable Panel using the provided J-channels and polycarbonate base. See our video tutorial here.
It has built-in grommets on each corner so you could screw it down easily. We also offer specially-made corner washers for a more permanent hold.

To adhere the J-channel to your mounting surface, we recommend using VHB (Very High Bond) double-sided tape. This heavy-duty tape creates a strong, lasting bond between the J-channel and your deck or roof without drilling holes.
Please note that VHB tape is not included in the kit, but can be easily obtained on Amazon. We’ve also included a link on our website under Support, Handy Products We Don't Carry, as well as in our installation guide for your convenience. 👉 Get VHB Tape Here

Run the cables through the waterproof junction box and route them into your cabin, salon, or van interior — everything is designed for flexibility and reliability.
