36 Watt Walkable Semi Rigid Solar Panel - Sunpower A+ Grade 24.4% Efficient Cells

A long, narrow solar panel designed to turn hard-to-use spaces into productive solar power.

The CMPower 36W Walkable Semi-Rigid Solar Panel combines SunPower A+ Grade solar cells with a slim 6" × 58" profile, making it ideal for installations where standard-width solar panels simply do not fit.

Its long, narrow design allows you to utilize unused space along boat decks, walkways, rails, bimini areas, rooftops, vans, and other confined installation areas. The semi-rigid construction provides a low-profile solar solution designed for applications where walkability and space efficiency matter.

With 24.4% efficient SunPower A+ Grade cells, this compact panel delivers 36 watts of rated power while using very little installation area.

Designed for Narrow, Hard-to-Use Spaces

Not every available solar surface is wide enough for a conventional panel.

At just 6 inches wide, this 36W panel can fit into long, narrow areas that would otherwise go unused. Multiple panels can also be arranged to make better use of available space, depending on system design and installation requirements.

This makes the panel particularly useful for:

  • Boat decks and walkways
  • Alongside marine rails and other narrow areas
  • Bimini and other boat-mounted structures
  • RV and van roofs
  • Narrow rooftop spaces
  • Supplemental solar installations
  • Custom solar layouts where standard panels don't fit

High-Efficiency SunPower A+ Grade Cells

Every square inch matters when installation space is limited.

This panel uses SunPower A+ Grade solar cells with 24.4% efficiency, providing high power output from a compact footprint. The result is a narrow solar panel that can help capture additional sunlight without sacrificing valuable deck or roof space.

Long and Skinny by Design

The panel measures approximately 6" × 58" (152.4 × 1473.2 mm).

Its unusual proportions are intentional: instead of trying to fit a large rectangular panel into a restricted area, this design lets you put solar power into narrow spaces that conventional panels cannot use efficiently.

For marine and mobile applications, this can be especially useful when available mounting areas are long but limited in width.

A Compact Panel for Custom Solar System Designs

The 36W Walkable Semi-Rigid Solar Panel is particularly useful when solar capacity needs to be added without redesigning an entire installation.

Use it as a standalone panel where appropriate or combine multiple narrow panels to create a customized solar array around existing equipment, hatches, walkways, rails, or other obstructions.

Always verify the panel's electrical characteristics and the solar controller's input requirements before connecting panels in series or parallel.

Why Choose a Narrow Solar Panel?

Traditional solar panels are optimized around relatively large rectangular surfaces. Boats, vans, and other mobile applications often don't provide those kinds of surfaces.
A narrow panel gives you another option:

More usable solar area. Less wasted space. More flexibility in system layout.

The CMP 36W panel is designed for customers who need to make use of every available inch.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How big is the 36W solar panel?
    The panel measures 6 inches wide by 58 inches long (152.4 × 1473.2 mm).

  • What type of solar cells does it use?
    The panel uses SunPower A+ Grade solar cells with 24.4% cell efficiency.

  • Is this panel walkable?
    This is a walkable semi-rigid solar panel designed for applications where its surface may need to accommodate foot traffic. Follow CMP's installation and usage guidelines for proper application.

  • Where can I use this narrow solar panel?
    Its 6-inch-wide profile makes it useful for boats, vans, bimini areas, narrow deck spaces, rooftops, and other installations where conventional solar panels are difficult to fit.

  • Can I connect multiple 36W panels together?
    Multiple panels can potentially be combined to increase system capacity. The appropriate series or parallel configuration depends on the solar controller, system voltage, wiring, and the electrical characteristics of the complete array. Verify compatibility before installation.

  • Is this a flexible solar panel?
    No. This model is categorized as a walkable semi-rigid solar panel. Its semi-rigid construction distinguishes it from flexible solar panels.

Turn Narrow Spaces Into Solar Power

When conventional solar panels don't fit, don't leave valuable surface area unused.

The CMP 36W Walkable Semi-Rigid Solar Panel provides a compact, high-efficiency solution for adding solar power to narrow spaces, with SunPower A+ Grade 24.4% efficient cells and an ultra-slim 6" × 58" profile.

Make every inch of available space work for your solar system.
