SolarFlexx, Flexible Solar Packages

Hamilton Ferris Co has been in the marine solar power business longer than anyone else in the industry - Period. That means, we have heard all the questions regarding solar power, many times.

By far, the most common question we get asked is ...  "I have a boat that lives on a mooring - How do I keep my refrigerator running full time?"

Fortunately, we have made that answer, incredibly simple - YOU JUST NEED OUR SOLARFLEXX 240 WATT FLEXIBLE SOLAR PACKAGE !!!

For those of us boating in the Northeast, the SolarFlexx 240 package allows you to turn the fridge on when you launch in the Spring, and leave it running until you haul in the Fall.

The end result - Cold Food, Cold Drinks & Cold Beer ... All season long !!!

 

SOLARFLEXX & SOLARSNAPS - The Solar Mounting Solution is here...

Our SolarFlexx panels include the SolarSnap system, providing you with the fastest attachment and seasonal removal of your SolarFlexx panels. Our Solar Snap system utilizes marine grade stainless steel quick release connectors, designed for dodger and bimini mounting. This is the solution you have been waiting for, as it allows the SolarFlexx panel(s) to conform to dodger and bimini contours !

SolarFlexx solar panels are a breakthrough offering in the flexible solar category. These panels have an amazing output compared to others on the market. Using back contact cell wiring and boasting over 22% efficiency, we are able to pack all sorts of power into a very small footprint!

Example: Our SolarFlexx 120 watt panel is only 47 X 22"!   Others try, but they can't do that!   And, the SolarFlexx 120 panel weighs under 5 lbs!

SolarFlexx systems are marine rated, extremely durable, and include a 5-year limited warranty. The construction of these highly efficient monocrystalline solar panels allows up to 30 degrees of flex, making them ideal for mounting on canvas work, without the need for an expensive & heavy, custom framework. With certain installations, it can be difficult to completely eliminate shadowing, however with proper module placement, the efficiency of your system can be optimized. When choosing your mounting location be sure to position your panels in direct sunlight, with minimal shading. For areas of heavier shading, we offer our "Shadow-Guard" power protection option.

IMPORTANT: BE CERTAIN TO AVOID positioning the SolarFlexx panel over the top of ridgid dodger or bimini support bows.

Have Shadows? Then you need "Shadow-Guard" !

Designed specifically for the Solarflexx and F-Series solar packages using 2 or more solar panels, Shadow-Guard optimizes your solar power system, protecting you from the power robbing effects of shading on part of your solar array. Shadow-Guard is available as an "add-on accessory" to all of our solar packages. Typically done upon the initial installation, the Shadow-Guard option provides a seperate MPPT solar controller for each solar panel, along with the additional components & wiring needed to create individual "home-run" paths. Choose one Shadow-Guard package for each additional solar panel in your system, after the first. For example: The SF-220-2S Package has (2) SolarFlexx panels & requires (1) Shadow-Guard package, to protect both solar panels in the system.
