THE BEST TOUGH FEATURES WITH A DISCREET BLACK LOOK
The SUNBEAMsystem Tough Black series has been designed to look both inconspicuous and elegant at the same time. Developed with the intention to integrate perfectly in the looks of both modern yachts and historical ships. Best suited for applications that put an emphasis on aesthetics: Tough Black pleases both the eye as well as your battery level.
With their dark appearance, the Tough Black panels will blend in on any even colored background. Whether this background is pure white or a classic brown: nobody will suspect there’s a solar panel hidden behind the all-black surface. For a truly seamless surface integration, you can use the Tough Black Hole filler. An identical material without any cells that can be cut to size to fill up any irregular shapes surrounding the panels.
The Tough Black series provides you with the same advantages as the normal Tough series but offers two additional models: the 55W Long Flush and the 114W Flush. For installation, we advise black flexible glue like Sikaflex 295.
FLUSHED CONNECTION (PROTECTED DESIGN)
The newest iteration of the invisible flat flush cable features a reinforced cable integration to ensure a perfect result.
UPGRADED CELL PROTECTION
All our 2021 models have been structurally improved by a stronger and more sturdy cell protection.
