THE BEST TOUGH FEATURES BUT WITH A DISCREET BLACK LOOK

Wherever there are high aesthetic requirements on the looks and design of an installation: the Tough Black series is your best solution.

TOUGH+ CARBON

A FULL-SIZE SOLAR PANEL FOR CANVAS USE

CARBON Velcro Batten

For use of Tough+ Carbon models 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.

Junction Box MC4 connectors

The Tough+ Carbon Series is fitted with 2.5mm2 cables equipped with waterproof (IP67) MC4 connectors. This makes connecting the cables very easy, as well as adjusting the installation to the right system voltage or quick disconnection of the panels.

A Long Life solar panel fro canvas and bimini

A LONG LIFE SOLAR PANEL FOR CANVAS & BIMINI

The Tough+ Carbon Series are highly advanced panels, capable of transforming your sprayhood and bimini into efficient solar power generators. By reinforcing the panel with carbon fiber, the Carbon models achieve the perfect strength to weight ratio needed to the structural support needed.

It makes the panel not only stiff enough to support itself but also light enough to protect the underlying canvas from damages. 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.

POWERFUL SOLAR CELLS

Another key point of this amazing solar panel is its solar cells. Featuring the amazing Sunpower Maxeon cells, it offers an exceptional 23.7% efficiency. Combining these cells with high resistance of the Tough surface, as a result, you have a solar panel with 5 years warranty.

THE QUICK FIX ATTACHMENT SYSTEM

The Quick Fix system allows for a temporary mounting on canvas or other surfaces. Easy and fast to mount with the stainless steel studs. The Quick Fix system is the ideal solution to mount solar panels on a sprayhood or bimini.

The durable Tough surface and waterproof MC4 connectors offer a long lifespan. While the protected Shadow Optimization technology will ensure an optimal performance whenever a panel is partially shaded.

TOUGH+ CARBON SOLAR PANEL ELEGANT AND SOPHISTICATED

Developed to meet the sophistication of the most beautiful yachts. Due to its transparent edges, the amazing Tough+ Carbon Solar Panel will integrate seamlessly into your bimini. As a high technology piece, it will also be generating an incredible amount of energy!

TOUGH FOLD

Portable solar panel

DESIGNED FOR TOUGH ADVENTURES

As a part of the Tough family, the Fold has inherited the same sturdy cell cover. The laminated textile outside combined with the edge-soft and center-stiff core offers an exquisite and functional solar panel.

Premium one-piece foldable solar panel

POWERFUL AND PORTABLE

Tough Fold features amazing Sunpower cells. This is the secret behind the Fold series not only being small and portable but also a powerful companion.The laminated one-piece design gives us a completely waterproof solution. This combined with the amazing UV resistance from the tough surface results in a unique portable solar panel. 

Take it everywhere

Tough Fold is ready to go on your next adventure. It doesn’t matter if it is on a boat, in a motorhome, or to take into your camping trip. Tough Fold solar panel will fit in your needs. Making use of the very handy eyelets, you will be able to mount these panels almost anywhere. Also making it very easy to change the position of the panel, in order to catch the best solar exposure during the day.

Both folded and Un-folded size is remarkably small, combined with the low weight. It does resemble a slim laptop casing more than a powerful solar panel.

Folded size is smaller in all dimensions. Thanks to the one-piece construction and the extremely flat-sized junction box.

Following the industry-standard solar panel equipment, Tough Fold solar panel utilizes waterproof MC4 connectors. Constructed to be extra finger-friendly, MC4 connectors make connection and disconnection very easy.

Prostaff - NOMAD’S TRAILS – THE WORLD BY BICYCLE

Matilda & Peyman are an adventurous couple that met a few years before the trip started. After living in a car and a minivan for almost 2 years, saving money, and buying gear for the trip. They finally hit the road in 2018 from Helsinki, Finland to Turku where they took the boat to Stockholm, Sweden.

After crossing the whole Europe from Finland to South Spain, they had to make the final decision on where to pedal next: Africa or Asia? Actually, they let their fans and followers decide for them. And the decision was: headed to Africa!

 If not for the Pandemic that closed borders all around the world, they would be cycling through East Africa, and follow their initial route. But as 20/21 became too uncertain, they had to change their plans.

So they set out for another exciting adventure! Cycling north to the Arctic! Across Finland during the coldest time of the year. Cycling through tough snow and the most extreme climates in the world.

The Maxa PTFE Solar Panel Series is fitted with high-efficiency cells (22.3%), ensuring you get an impressive amount of power from the available roof space.

    NORDIC

    The Nordic Series has been developed by SUNBEAMsystem for use in its region of origin: the northern latitudes. It offers a universal solution for applications with a requirement for lightweight, flexible, and compact solar panels.
    Because they are more efficient than standard glass solar panels you’ll get higher production from a relatively small size. Together with the minimum thickness of only 3mm they are ideal for use on campers, caravans, or other recreational vehicles. The Nordic series is fitted with a smooth surface and is not designed to be walked upon intensively.


    The Nordic series is equipped with our unique Shadow Optimized technology for improved performance in partial shadowing.


    All Nordic models have been upgraded with newer and more efficient solar cells, increasing the peak power output.


    The Flush Models are shipped without stainless steel eyes allowing for seamless integration on hard surfaces. We recommend a white Sikaflex 291i kit for mounting.
