Marine Solar System Kits

A marine solar kit should be chosen from your boat's daily electrical use, battery-bank voltage, available mounting area, panel shading, and installation method—not boat length alone. Use the guide below to narrow the options, then confirm the controller, wiring, mounting hardware, battery chemistry, and included components for the exact kit before ordering.

Choose a kit by mounting location

  • Bimini or dodger: Review flexible bimini-mount kits and confirm panel dimensions, attachment method, cable routing, wind exposure, and controller limits.
  • Walkable deck or cabin top: Review walkable semi-rigid kits and confirm approved traffic conditions, support surface, shade, drainage, cable protection, and controller limits.
  • Arch or hardtop: Review rigid arch-mount kits and confirm frame area, panel weight, fasteners, wind loading, and rigging shadows.
  • Dinghy davits: Confirm davit geometry, clearance, weight, wiring route, and swing or loading conditions.
  • Battery maintenance: Review smaller maintenance kits and confirm battery voltage, battery chemistry, controller type, and intended storage use.

Choose by system voltage and energy goal

Group your selection by the actual battery-system compatibility documented for the kit: 12V, 24V, or 48V where supported. Do not infer compatibility from wattage alone. A battery-maintenance kit is not automatically sized to run daily refrigeration, electronics, lighting, pumps, or charging loads.

  • Battery maintenance: Support a stored battery with a smaller array.
  • House-load support: Offset part of the boat's daily electrical use.
  • High-use cruising: Plan a larger array with careful shade, controller, wiring, and battery checks.

What is included?

Kit contents vary by SKU. Each product page should identify the exact panels, charge controller, wiring and connectors, protection, mounting hardware, battery if included, instructions, and components the customer must supply. Do not assume every kit is turnkey.

Size the system before ordering

  1. List daily DC and AC loads and convert them to daily watt-hours.
  2. Add disclosed system losses and inverter use where applicable.
  3. Account for region, season, shade, and non-ideal mounting.
  4. Confirm battery-bank voltage and capacity.
  5. Check controller PV input and output limits.
  6. Request a compatibility review for unusual boats or mixed components.

Frequently asked questions

What does a marine solar kit usually include?

It depends on the SKU. A kit may include panels, a charge controller, wiring, connectors, protection, mounting hardware, and—in some packages—a battery. Verify the current product's included-components list.

How many watts of solar do I need for my boat?

Start with daily watt-hours, battery-bank voltage, shading, season, mounting angle, and the amount of energy you want solar to provide. Boat length is not a reliable sizing method.

Can I use a 12V kit on a 24V battery bank?

Not automatically. The panel wiring and charge controller must be compatible with the battery-bank voltage and the controller's input and output limits. Confirm the exact kit documentation before connecting it.

Are walkable kits different from bimini kits?

Yes. They are selected for different mounting environments and traffic exposure. A walkable kit requires product-specific foot-traffic and support-surface checks; a bimini kit requires attention to flexible mounting, attachment, wind, and cable routing.

Do marine solar kits include the battery?

Some packages do and some do not. Make the answer explicit on each product page and in the included-components list.

Can I combine a CMP kit with my existing battery or controller?

Only after checking voltage, chemistry, current, PV input, connectors, wiring, and controller limits. A compatibility review is recommended for mixed-brand or expanded arrays.

Need help choosing? Send your boat type, available dimensions, battery voltage, and daily loads for a compatibility review.

Flexible Marine Solar Panel Kits

Makes Installing Solar Easy

Our monocrystalline flexible high efficiency solar panels have an impermeable ETFE laminate coating the entire module allowing them to contour and flex against curved surfaces with a maximum bending radius of 30 degrees.  Each panel can be affixed by double sided tape adhesive, snap, or screw mounting. Grommets are an added bonus for  ease-of-installation. All panels come with industry standard waterproof MC4 connectors.   These panels are ideal for mounting on a bimini top or a curved deck surface.  Although not recommended, they can be stepped on.Easy to install kits - We have made it easy to go solar by matching up the optimum combinations of solar panels, controllers and hardware.  Or, if you prefer, we will work with you to assemble a custom system to meet your specific needs.Panel performance - Our flexible solar panels are designed and built for the marine environment and use the same premium SunPower or PERC solar cellsas our rigid and semi-rigid solar panels resulting in the performance being comparable to our highly acclaimed rigid panels.  We have found however, that the flexible panels are a bit more sensitive to shading than the rigid panels.
