The Next Generation of the World's Highest Efficiency Solar Panels
We currently have 2x 90 watt SunPower SPR-90 panels installed on our sail boat
Details on these solar panels:
SPR-90 High Efficiency PV module - Solar Panel
The SunPower SPR-90 is a 90-watt-rated solar panel very suitable to
charge 12-volt batteries in marine power applications, where high
battery-charging current over a wide range of weather conditions is
likely. The high power density of SPR-90 can reduce the costs typically
associated with Marine power systems.
SunPower's solar panels use our breakthrough all black contact solar
cells which generate up to 50% more power than conventional solar cells.
Our monocrystalline silicon solar cells combine higher voltage per cell
with an extremely low voltage-temperature coefficient to enable superior
battery charging performance at high operating temperature. Exceptional
low-light performance and broad spectral response further enhance energy
delivery in all weather conditions, year round. SunPower
modules—innovative design, proven materials, outstanding performance.
Features & Benefits
• Sturdy, black anodized aluminum frame with mounting holes enables easy
installation
• Over 5.1 amps of peak battery charging current
• Unique back-contact solar cells with conversion efficiency up to 21.5%
• Low voltage-temperature coefficient ensures maximum battery charging
current is available
even during high-temperature operation
• Exceptional low-light performance and high sensitivity to light across
the entire solar spectrum
maximizes yearly charging performance in any
weather
• Highest quality 4mm-thick high-transmission tempered glass provides
enhanced stiffness and impact resistance
• Aerospace style cell interconnects with in-plane strain relief provide
extremely high reliability
• Advanced EVA encapsulation system with multi-layer backsheet provides
excellent long-term package durability
