Description
The Sunware Series 20 solar modules are more powerful, compact and lighter than the previous Sunware Marine and Compact solar panels. The solar cells are protected with an EVA laminate and ETFE coating to protect them from water ingress. The modules are specifically designed for the harsh marine and salt water use. The cable outlet is screwed to the mounting plate, completely sealed and 100% saltwater proof. By hermetic encapsulation cells and carrier plate are themselves well protected against the aggressive saltwater.
The junction box on the module is located on the front of the panels with a 3m cable. A convenient hole located next to the junction box to allow the cable to be safely pushed through to behind the panel for easier installation.
The carrier material is an Aluminium sandwich core. The new core material ensure the cells are perfectly supported and protected. The solar module can adapt to curved surfaces, with maximum curvature of 3cm/m module length. All modules can be screwed, glued or attached with clips and the module package includes white screw rosettes for countersunk screws to prevent damage to the module laminate by the screw head.

The solar module SW 20163 is designed for small solar systems. The 25Wp module is designed for 12V systems, but paired units can be used in a serial connection to provide a 24V system. Depending on the irradiation, the module supplies a charging current of up to 1.44A. According to STC (standard test conditions), AM 1.5, 1000 W/m², 25°C, measuring tolerance: 10%.
The rectangular module are ideal for mounting to large enclosures or a suitable mounting bracket. These modules are ideal for trickle charging a remote logging system battery or other remote power systems.Omni Instruments can provide these panels fitted to suitable enclosure, or provide suitable mounting brackets to fit your individual requirements, please contact us directly to discuss your requirements.
The average daily yield (May to September):
– North/Baltic Sea area is about 4 x 1.44 => 5.7Ah/day
– Mediterranean, Caribbean or California => 7.2Ah/day.
