Short Description:
Open Water Solars 115W Flex Solar Panel
Marine solar, made better. Open Waters Solar panels are thin, lightweight, flexible, and fully walkable — engineered specifically for boats, where deck space and aesthetics matter as much as power output. Unlike conventional flexible panels that require bulky support structures, these panels integrate seamlessly into your vessel's design while delivering industry-leading efficiency.
Built with advanced composite fibreglass encapsulation, every panel is impact-resistant and designed to hold up in demanding marine environments — without sacrificing flexibility, weight, or style. Designed and manufactured in Canada.
