About

Open Waters Solar panels offer aesthetic appeal, durability, and performance that set a higher bar for the industry. Our sleek, minimalist solar panels are designed for a wide range of mobile applications. At just 1.3 mm thick and lightweight (3.6 kg per m²), these low-profile panels can be shaped to fit and seamlessly integrate with any vehicle or vessel’s structure and function. Crafted from advanced fibreglass composites and coated with UV-resistant material, Open Waters panels can withstand foot traffic and thrive in harsh environments, including exposure to seawater. Our proprietary design helps prevent performance degradation from microcracking, a common issue affecting traditional panels. Built with industry-leading SunPower Maxeon Gen III ME3 solar cells, our panels boast an impressive 24% efficiency. Advanced bypass diodes ensure consistent performance even in partial shade. Our panels are manufactured and rigorously tested by a skilled team in our state-of-the-art facility.
