100 Watt Rail Mounted Carbon Fiber Solar Panel With Aluminum Adjustable Brackets

Introducing the 100 Watt Rail Mounted Carbon Fiber Marine Solar Panel, engineered for sailors who want maximum efficiency with effortless installation. This innovative panel mounts securely to any standard 1" rail, delivering clean solar power with the flexibility to rotate up to 180° for ideal sun positioning.

What sets this system apart is its fully adjustable, sliding aluminum bracket system. The brackets can slide back and forth along the panel, allowing you to position them exactly where your boat’s railings require—giving you perfect fitment on virtually any sailboat, without drilling or custom fabrication. Designed specifically for sailboats and marine environments, this panel installs quickly and securely with Swedish-designed adjustable aluminum brackets that you can receive pre-installed or install yourself with our included guidance.

Built with SunPower Maxeon 24.4% efficient A+ grade solar cells, this panel delivers exceptional energy production, even in partial shade. The semi-rigid carbon fiber construction provides maximum strength with minimal weight, while remaining fully resistant to UV exposure, saltwater, heat, and harsh marine conditions. 

✅ Each cell works when partially shaded unlike most other solar cells where the whole panel will go down if a portion of a cell is shaded.
✅ A+ grade Sunpower Maxeon cells produce relatively high amounts of power even at low sun angles, thus generating more watt-hours over the course of a day than lower quality panels.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the aluminum adjustable brackets special?
A: The aluminum brackets are designed to slide back and forth along the panel, allowing you to match different rail spacing and create a perfectly aligned installation. This gives you more flexibility than fixed-position brackets.

Q: Do the brackets rotate?
A: Yes. The brackets allow 180° manual rotation, so you can easily aim the panel toward the sun or lay it flat when docking or storing.

Q: Is this panel adjustable after it is installed?
A: Yes. Once mounted, you can rotate and reposition the panel by hand to optimize sun exposure throughout the day.

Q: Can I install the panel myself?
A: Yes. You can order this panel as DIY (Do-It-Yourself) or Pre-Installed with brackets. DIY installation guidance is provided.

Q: What’s the difference between DIY and Pre-Installed options?
A: The Pre-Installed option comes with brackets already mounted and ready to clamp onto your rail. The DIY option lets you install the brackets yourself using the provided guidance.

Q: What size rails does it fit?
A: It is designed to fit standard 1-inch (25mm) marine rails used on most sailboats and powerboats.

Q: Is this panel suitable for harsh marine environments?
A: Yes. It features a carbon fiber back, marine-grade construction, and corrosion-resistant aluminum hardware designed to withstand saltwater, UV exposure, and extreme weather.

Q: Does the panel hold its position in strong wind?
A: Yes. The aluminum adjustable brackets are designed to lock securely in position and stay stable even in windy marine conditions.

Q: Can the panel be laid flat when not in use?
A: Yes. The panel can be rotated down flat when docking, covering the boat, or during storage.

Q: Do I need to drill holes to install it?
A: No. The rail clamps allow secure mounting without drilling into your boat.

Q: What is the difference between the Sliding Aluminum bracket version and the SeaDog bracket version?
A: The SeaDog bracket version is permanently pre-installed and allows the panel to rotate and tilt only, making it quick and simple to aim toward the sun. The sliding aluminum bracket version allows the brackets to slide back and forth along the panel, giving more flexibility in matching rail spacing and custom mounting positions.

Q: Which version is more adjustable?
A: The sliding aluminum bracket version offers more mounting flexibility because the brackets can slide along the panel. The SeaDog version is simpler, with fixed clamp positions and manual rotation only.

Q: Which one should I choose?
A: Choose the SeaDog bracket version if you want a clean, ready-to-install solution with easy tilt adjustment. Choose the sliding aluminum bracket version if you need maximum flexibility to match different rail widths or custom mounting layouts.

Q: Do both versions use the same solar cells?
A: Yes. Both versions use the same SunPower® A+ grade 24.4% efficient cells and marine-grade ETFE construction with shade-tolerant performance and carbon fiber backing.

Q: Do both versions work in partial shade?
A: Yes. Both designs use split-panel construction and shade-tolerant cell technology, allowing continued power production even when part of the panel is shaded.
