Solar Panels are Great Battery Chargers

Want to put solar on your boat, but don’t know where? Think beyond traditional, heavy, glass panels and envision just the solar cells on a thin panel; flexible, but durable; lightweight, but rugged; small, but powerful. Look beyond those cheap panels one can find online with dodgy life expectancy. Coastal Climate Control offers top notch, long-lasting, marine-grade solar panels that can fit anywhere on your boat: deck, dodger, hard or soft top, dinghy davit, lifeline, radar arch, etc. Yes, you can even walk on our panels! In stock and 10% off this month. Enter coupon code SOLAR10 at catalog checkout.
