tuffyluffy 76 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 You'll find them on ebay alot cheaper and they'll probably deliver to your door. Link to post Share on other sites

ab1974 1 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I could be keen on a couple of these. Tried to call Fusion today but no answer. Link to post Share on other sites
idlerboat 116 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 solid panels....2 x 100 watt for $235 for both.........from ebay.... smaller than flexi Link to post Share on other sites
ab1974 1 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yep rigid panels better bang for buck but dont work so well on curved surfaces that you want to walk on....... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I wonder if they would generate much current attached to the topsides. Reflected and direct light in the mornings and evenings and direct when heeled. I know sunburn happens much quicker around water but how much would this affect current generation? Seems strange this mob does not have any details under the contacts page! Link to post Share on other sites
ab1974 1 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Not sure, could save on a paint job though! Fusion Cats are based in Mackay in central Qld. Tried ringing the number listed in the white pages but no answer. Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Those look like the units that were at the boat show. Certainly they impressed me. When I was talking to the guy he said that he hadn't a NZ distributor at that stage so I wonder who has picked it up. Anyway, that was Solar PTY ltd. The brand was solbian flex and they have a website noted as www.solarfuture.co.nz I trade you all this valuable information for reviews when you've installed them. Link to post Share on other sites
double n 0 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I imported a couple of these panels about a year ago. Bought them with zips in and just zip them into the dodger top when go cruising. A word of warning in that they are only low voltage about 10volts and my MPPT controller would only step down any volts to 12 not step up so couldn't get any power until I put them in series to get 20 volts in the system. Like all panels they work at about only two thirds of rating and then in good light. Overall through out day I would say you get just over half of rating but I have two 40watt panels which take care of my fridge and a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites
