TOUGH ++
SIMPLY THE BEST
The SUNBEAMsystem Tough++ 126W Flush with its incredible 25.2% efficiency is simply the best solar panel available. Put it in relation, it will often produce twice as much per area as the most common solar panels you find on a house roof.
Tough++ is the state-of-the-art marine solar panel, the newest and most powerful technology currently available.
Built with the best materials to ensure it is resilient in the most demanding circumstances. The 5-year warranty* is totally unique when it comes to a flat and lightweight solar panel.
Attach Tough++ with the included 3M VHB or a flexible glue, the anti-skid surface, and invisible Flush features will result in a seamless integration on any deck or roof.

SUNBEAM Prostaff - MARK SLATS & KAI WIEDMER NEW WORLD RECORD
Mark Slats and Kai Wiedmer set off from San Sebastián de La Gomera of the Canary Islands on December 12 with a two-man world record in mind. After 32 days, 22 hours, and 13 minutes they had arrived at Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua, more than 3,000 miles later, having rowed across the Atlantic Ocean. Such is the purpose of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
Their boat ‘Maria’ is equipped with the best Tough ++ Solar Panels and lightest Lithium batteries, ensuring power during all 5000 long km’s of rowing.

After 32 days, 22 hours, and 13 minutes they had arrived at Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua, more than 3,000 miles later, having rowed across the Atlantic Ocean. Such is the purpose of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
Well known as the world’s toughest row, the TWAC 2020 was no different. As Mark described in his own blog: “The last days at the ocean were hard. Lots of rain, high swells, rough seas, less time to sleep because you were soaking wet entering your cabin.”
But it all worth it in the end. Beyond winning the race, they were also raising money for children’s cancer research. Together they were able to raise €69.686, which corresponds to 107% reached of a total of € 65.000. Isn’t that awesome? Congratulations to Mark and Kai for such effort in raising money for this cause.We can’t wait to see the next adventure of Mark Slats!

Prostaff, SVEN YRVIND EXLEX BOAT
Sven Yrvind is a Swedish sailor, boat builder, and writer. He is famous for sailing alone across oceans in tiny boats of his own design.
Yrvind has made several ocean crossings in his tiny boats. In 1980, Yrvind rounded Cape Horn in ‘Bris II’, a 20’/5.90m boat of his own design. Alone and in the middle of winter, a record for the smallest boat ever to round the Cape.
In 2020 Yrvind is already doing tests on his newest and improved Exlex. His boat is equipped with 6 SUNBEAMsystem TOUGH+ Panels of 39w each. That provides him a total power of 234w.

Sven Yrvind is a Swedish sailor, boat builder, and writer. He is famous for sailing alone across oceans in tiny boats of his own design.
Yrvind has made several ocean crossings in his tiny boats. In 1980, Yrvind rounded Cape Horn in ‘Bris II’, a 20’/5.90m boat of his own design. Alone and in the middle of winter, a record for the smallest boat ever to round the Cape. This achievement won Yrvind the 1980 Royal Cruising Club medal for seamanship. In the Roaring Forties, he allegedly collided with a whale.
THE EXLEX
Completed in early 2018 Sven’s latest boat is the ‘Exlex‘. It is 5.76 meters long with a 1.04-meter beam. On May 30th, 2018, 79-year-old Sven set out in her for New Zealand, which he had hoped to reach sometime in March 2019. Unfortunately, he had to abandon his attempt at the beginning of July, and sail to Porto Santo. Due to design flaws that made Exlex too unstable, slow, and hard to handle.
2019 model
Since then he is designing an improved model of Exlex and willing to make another attempt. Now in 2020 Yrvind is already doing tests on his newest and improved Exlex. His boat equipped with 6 SUNBEAMsystem TOUGH+ Panels of 39w each. That provides him a total power of 234w. The new Exlex solar power system is enough to power many devices. Such as his location devices, cameras, and other types of equipment. While the flush cables provided him a seamless installation with no wiring exposed.
Below you can see a little bit of his installing process, and also a video of one of his trials last year. You can also visit his website and stay updated with his adventures.

USER PROJECTS - LUNARK: A JOURNEY TO THE MOON
THE EXPEDITION
During the next year, two young Danish Space Architects, Sebastian, and Karl-Johan will face this question as they design, build, and live for three months in the very first Moon Analogue habitat in the Arctic, Greenland.
Isolated and confined in one of the harshest climates on Earth, they will endure -30°C, hurricane winds, and hungry polar bears.
In the past year, they’ve established SAGA Space Architects and won several awards for their work. Now they will do their most ambitious project yet.
One of the biggest challenges for the habitat is transportability both for Greenland and for a future Moon mission. By combining the ancient Japanese art of paper folding with the method of biomimicry we have come to a lightweight and strong foldable structure. The challenge lies in translating origami into thicker panels that can still fold. The answer may lie in nature. The final hinge design is a compliant mechanism it’s lightweight, strong, airtight, simple to manufacture, and to maintain.
THE HABITAT CHALLENGES
Exterior like a tank, the interior like a home. While introducing “hygge” and stimulating internal space, the habitat has to face the following arctic and lunar challenges:
Arctic Climate: Temperatures of -30°C and wind speeds of 90 km/h, require a sturdy habitat with heavy insulation.
Transportable: Shipping stuff to the Moon or Greenland is expensive. We will develop a unique expanding design to save space during transport and maximize space after deployment.
Solar energy: The project simulates a mission to the peak of eternal light on the Moon, which has a similar day-night cycle to the arctic day. We will take full advantage of this by integrating solar panels in the skin of the habitat and supply it with all its energy needs.
Polar Bears: On the Moon, there is a risk of being hit by a meteor. In Greenland, you might get hit by a polar bear. The habitat must withstand a curious 650 kg polar bear.
Zero Waste Ecosystem: The habitat must leave no trace and recycle as much waste as possible.
After mission update
From September to November the habitat was tested on an analog Moon mission. The mission took place near Moriusaq - Greenland in the high arctic. Sebastian Aristotelis and Karl-Johan Sørensen deployed the habitat and lived in it for 60 days, completely isolated. During the expedition, the habitat sustained a comfortable living environment while enduring Hurricane scale winds, snowstorms, and temperatures down to -30°C.
SUNBEAMSYSTEM SOLAR PANELS PROVIDED THE ENERGY NEEDED
SUNBEAMsystem provided high-performance solar panels, charge controllers, and batteries. Lightweight yet robust panels attached to the exterior of the habitat, the perfect solution for the extreme climate of the Arctic. SMART LITHIUM batteries provided safe and efficient energy storage. These components are crucial for an off-grid mission like LUNARK. Independent tests put the solar cells at the top regarding real-world yield.
TOUGH
WINNER IN MULTIPLE REAL-LIFE TESTS
Tough series
Since its introduction, the SUNBEAMsystem Tough Solar Panels Series has been the absolute winner in multiple real life tests. All Tough models are fitted with SunpowerTM Maxeon cells with an efficiency of 22.5% or higher.
The anti-slip profile is not only practical for deck mounting; it also catches more light in low sun angles. In addition, the dirt-repellent properties also improve daily production by helping to keep the panels clean. It also provides a safe and walkable surface, without any cables to trip on.
The amazing TOUGH surface
The surface of the Tough Solar Panels is extremely durable and resistant to strong and long UV exposure. As a result, it transmits more light than standard materials, contributing to higher daily production.
All Tough Solar Panels models from 55W and up are equipped with SUNBEAMsystem protected Shadow Optimized technology, improving output in partially shaded conditions.
Tough models are equipped with a flat power cable that allows an incredible flushed installation.
