Magnetic Marine Solar Panel Mounting Kit – No-Drill Flexible Solar Panel Mounts for Bimini & Dodger Canvas
(for Large Panels)

Mount your flexible marine solar panels quickly and securely, without drilling holes in your canvas bimini or dodger. Our Magnetic Solar Panel Mounting Kit uses powerful rare earth magnets to hold panels in place, providing a durable, removable, and corrosion-resistant mounting solution perfect for marine environments.

⚙️ Kit Includes:

  • 12 very high-strength rare earth magnets
  • 6 adhesive tabs (to attach the magnets to the upper side of the flexible solar panel)
  • Optional double-sided adhesive tape for secure placement

Made for bimini mounting of flexible solar panels. They have held to well over 55 knots but have also come off at 35 knots of wind for customers. You can consider adding additional magnets for more holding power.

🌊 Designed for Marine Use

Developed in collaboration with marine solar expert Ed Foster, this innovative system eliminates the need for permanent holes or fasteners. Each magnet is triple-coated with nickel-copper-nickel or epoxy-copper-nickel for superior corrosion resistance, tested in real saltwater conditions.

🛠️ Attaching Solar Panels to Canvas Bimini or Dodger Using the “magnet” Method

The magnet mounting kit contains 12 high-power rare-earth magnets and 6 pieces of 
double-sided tape.  Refer to the diagram below to see how the components of the kit are used. 

how to mount flexible solar panels on canvas or bimini top using magnet or magnetic kit
  1. Attach 6 magnets to the top of the solar panel using the double-sided adhesive dots provided. Attach a magnet in each corner next to the grommets. For longer panels, attach a magnet in the middle of the panel on each side. 
  2. Place the solar panel on the canvas where it is to be mounted. Give it time to be warmed by the sun and nestle into the canvas. Be sure panels are positioned such that the wires can reach where necessary to connect to the other panels. 
  3. Attach the second set of 6 magnets to the underside of the canvas by holding the magnet in the vicinity of the upper magnet. They will find each other. If the magnets repel each other turn the magnet over. A pair of magnets are most effective if they are separated by the panel and a single layer of canvas. 
  4. To remove the solar panel, slide the lower magnets away from the upper magnets until the attraction force is minimized. 
  5. Connect the solar panel to your system using an MC4 T-branch connector.
  6. When the panel isn’t in use, it can be conveniently stored under a bunk.

Hold well; rust quickly in salt air.

On the good side the magnets hold in winds up to 30 knots so far, maybe more. On the downside they rust very quickly.

Thank you for your feedback, Thomas.
We’re glad to hear the magnets have been holding well in strong winds. We are continuing to improve the coating/finish, and we also recommend being careful not to scratch the protective surface during installation, especially in salt-air environments.
Thank you again for your support and valuable feedback.

Seems pretty good overall

They are super strong. I'd make sure you have a taut canvas if you install these so everything's tight and will have less wear. Magnets are challeging to get apart even with the ceramic spacers. The gell sticky pads made some magnets pop off on the panels as the panels flex a bit when moving into place which risks you lose some overboard. I think it's a great idea overall to avoid piercing through your canvas for other mount options.

The magnets worked great! Highly recommend!

Our canvas is only a few years old. So the thought of putting holes on it wasn’t going to work. The magnets worked great!! Highly recommend!!!

The magnets are super easy to use and place

The magnets seem to work great. The vertical holding power is very strong. I am a little unsure of the lateral holding. It is possible to slide the panels sideways with not much force. May be OK, but will be cautious at first in strong winds. The magnets are super easy to use and place so am quite pleased with that. Sure made this installation of (2) 110 watt flexible solar panels very easy.

Very strong magnet attraction

The magnet attraction to each other is very very strong.

Extremely strong magnets

Good communication with the seller. Extremely strong magnets. Will test on the boat the effect on the compass...tbc
