Solar Panel 45 W - For Travel & Ultralight Outboards
The 45 W Solar Panel charger makes life very simple for electric outboards. Just plug the solar panel directly into your Ultralight or Travel 503/1003 battery and charge your battery wherever you want – even while operating your motor!
Electric outboards are ecologically advantageous in many ways. They are emission free in operation and they require a lot less energy to propel a boat. But that is not all: Unlike gasoline outboards, electric outboards can also be operated completely from clean, renewable energy supplies such as solar power.
Thanks to Torqeedo's solar charge options, this opportunity has become not only ecologically advantageous but also extremely convenient and simple.
To provide this option, Torqeedo has teamed up with renowned manufacturer of thin-film solar panels PowerFilm, Inc. PowerFilm’s panels have endured rigorous submersion
testing and are in our opinion the thin-film cells suited best for use in a marine environment.
Key Features:
- Simple plug-n-play charging for Travel and Ultralight models
- Rollable with casing for easy transport and storage
- Extremely weatherproof: Successfully tested in full salt water immersion
