The owner of this Hanse 575 decided on a full-black custom SP Series solar system, which was neatly integrated into the teak deck and provides a modern look.
As the yacht was far away from any of our technicians, a sister ship was digitized to ensure a perfect fit. 1:1 paper templates of the system design were then sent to the owner for a final check. This revealed that the teak pattern of the other Hanse 575 was slightly different, resulting in a couple of corrections. Without the templates it would have been impossible to find these issues prior to production of the solar panels.
As our pre-mounted adhesive is not a good solution for installation on teak, the panels have been installed using a thin layer Sikaflex, smoothly applied over the full surface. All wires run invisibly below the panels in the salon roof and from there to the batteries.
Three synchronized Victron SmartSolar MPPT controllers and optimized string layouts with 14 bypass diodes guarantee a high tolerance of partial shading, 610Wp usually cover all electrical needs at anchor.
