Merlin Solar

Merlin Solar makes lightweight, flexible solar panels built for durability on boats, RVs and vehicles. The panels are thin, light and can follow gently curved surfaces, which makes them a common choice for boat biminis, hardtops, RV roofs and vehicles. eMarine carries Merlin Solar TBS Series PV panels and 80W and 160W Merlin Solar panels (call for availability on some sizes).

How to choose Merlin solar panels

Start with the space you have: measure the length and width of the bimini, hardtop or roof, then pick the panel or combination of panels that fits. Add up your daily energy use in watt-hours to decide total wattage, and make sure your charge controller matches the panel voltage and current. Because Merlin panels are flexible, plan how they will be fastened: adhesive, snaps, or a backing board.

Are Merlin solar panels good for boats?

Yes. Their low weight and flexible build suit boats where a rigid frame will not fit or would add too much weight. Compare them with other options in our marine solar panels collection.

Do Merlin panels need a charge controller?

Yes, like any solar panel. An MPPT controller is usually the best match; see our solar charge controllers.
