This 100 Watt Walkable Semi-Rigid SunPower solar cell solar panel is very highly rated with the highest commercially available 24.4% efficient solar cells. We split the panel in two halves so they act as two independent panels in one.  If one half is shaded the other still produces power, unlike most solar panels where if one portion of one cell is shaded the whole panels goes down.  We also use diodes to again split the halves in half again.  Plus the A+ grade Sunpower cells even further minimize the effects of shading (Sunpower cells themselves can be partially shaded and still produce power, unlike most other solar cells). A 6 foot long #10 duplex cable from the junction box is included. Drill your own holes if needed in the 4 marked spots, or if on a van roof use our J and H mounting brackets for secure mounting at highway speeds. This new "walkable light" panel is about 3 mm thinner (4mm vs 7mm) with a thinner aluminum backing plate. They are walkable but it is not recommended to dance or drive on. They dissipate heat better than our original walkable panels and thus perform better in hot climates. It is built to withstand the harsh marine environment and is ideal for mounting on a rigid boat deck or van roof or rack.

Note picture is not correct though is close, layout of 100 is 3x9 cells (actually 18 half cells)

Our New 4 Quadrant Design

The diagram along side illustrates how these amazing panels work. Instead of the normal 2 quadrant design we use a new split cell design allowing the panel to have four quadrants of solar cells linked in series and isolated with inner panel blocking diodes. If one or two quadrants are shaded, the other quadrants perform at normal output. This can increase shaded panel output by 3 times that of a standard shaded panel.

SunPower Maxeon Shade Tolerant Series

Solar panel shading is a major issue on many boats.  Shading can reduce a standard panel performance by over 60%.  Custom Marine Products has developed a series of semi-flexible shade tolerant solar panels that have superior performance when partially shaded by boat equipment or nearby objects.  These solar panels have high performance SunPower Maxeon cells.  The diagram to the left illustrates how these amazing panels work.The junction box is mounted in the center or the edge of the panel enabling the panel to have four quadrants of solar cells linked in series and isolated with diodes.  If one or two quadrants are shaded, the other quadrants perform at normal output.  The result is a panel that will provide up to three times the output of a standard panel when shaded.  These shade tolerant panels are ideal for bimini and dodger mounting where there is boom, mast and instrument pole shading.  Patent pending

What Makes Our Panels Superior

  • Our Semi Flexible Shade Tolerant Panels use only SunPower Maxeon A+ Cells.
  • The SunPower cells we use in these panels are 24.4% efficient.
  • We use an ETFE laminate coating that won't delaminate or go milky for 10 years.
  • The ETFE laminate is applied with a prismatic finish to direct sun energy into the cells.
  • Panels use internal blocking diodes to isolate the quadrants unaffected by shading.
  • We build 6 grommets into the panels edges for easy installation with our mounting kits.
  • All panels come with 3 foot pigtails and MC4 connectors.
  • Our junction boxes are filled with Non Gassing Silicon RTV for maximum electrical waterproof insulation and corrosion resistance.

What Our Customers Have To Say

  • Doug Heath - Santa Fe, NM

    Customer Service and Product

    Very pleased with the performance of the rigid solar panels purchased in 2022. Customer service also has been consistently excellent both before the sale regarding product selection and after the sale regarding installation and maintenance concerns.

  • William Roth - Kodiak, AK

    Heavy Duty Panels For The Win
    Installed 1200watts of panels on my 56' commercial fishing boat in Kodiak Alaska, with salt spray and harsh winters I hardly run my genset. Installation was a breeze with using silicone to mount them. Most the boats in my family fleet have them now and we are all saving big on the fuel bill! Couldn't be happier with the purchace.

  • Hartwell C - Bellingham, WA

    Easy Install - Great Performance

    I worked with Tom last year to design a system for my sailboat; the dialog and information was very detailed and helpful in helping determine my system needs and completing the installation. Once ordering, the kit arrived in a timely manner and very complete. The install was very straightforward and Tom provided additional information as needed. After the install I took off on a 7 month cruise of British Columbia. The system worked perfectly during my trip. I’m very happy with the equipment and support from CMP and Tom. I highly recommend !
