LONG LIFE SOLAR PANEL FOR CANVAS & BIMINI
The Tough+ Carbon Quick Fix models are highly advanced panels, capable of transforming your sprayhood and bimini into efficient solar power generators. Mounting a solar panel on a canvas surface has always been a challenge, mostly because of the lack of structural support which will increase the risk of early panel failure. The standard so-called flexible solar panels will experience material fatigue due to movements by wind.
By reinforcing the panel with carbon fiber, the Tough+ Carbon models achieve the perfect strength to weight ratio needed to tackle this problem. It makes the panel not only stiff enough to support itself but also light enough to protect the underlying canvas from damages. It´s a win-win. The soft transparent edges do not only protect the fabric from wear but also provide a smooth color transition from any colored top to the uniform black panel surface.
QUICK FIX SYSTEM
The Quick Fix system allows for quick and easy mounting, using stainless steel LOXX buttons and waterproof MC4 connectors.
Tough Carbon can be fitted either with the Quick Fix buttons intended for Canvas or the Carbon Velcro Batten which will attach to the Carbon panel with the existing buttons and then to the canvas by the included Velcro which is sewn onto the underlying canvas.
CARBON VELCRO BATTEN
For use of the Tough+ Carbon model in heavy wind or on fast-moving vessels, we recommend the Carbon Velcro Batten. These will even out the forces on the underlying canvas using velcro strips.
BALL BUTTONS – 6 PIECES
Allows a quick and easy mounting on canvas, using stainless steel LOXX buttons. Mounting tool included.
