hi jeff cote here with pacific health systems um what we're going to be talking about next is a sunpower 170 watt monocrystalline so flexible solar panels you can see it's really thin these panels are sort of part of our inventory meaning it's part of our soil you know there's really lots of choice with flexible solar panels all of different price points this one here is really attractive and it comes at a relatively reasonable cost it's one of our popular high solar panels you can see the size is not too big and because your model crystalline cells you can actually get a lot of power out of one single panel um we use commonly a victron controller with this we'll probably end up using a 7515 victron controller with this panel as you can tell they actually come with grommets already literally mounted six grommets already mounted on the panel and these are stainless steel grommets um the cells come from the us they're assembled in france the panels themselves they do have a little bit of flexibility but not crazy flexibility but enough um we've had them sewn on canvases we've had them mounted directly on decks and i also even have some boat owners that actually take them in and out of their boats when the weather's nice and they're actually putting them with bunches on the deck when everything's feels rather rather safe and then they store them back again under the mattress in one of the cabins the other thing i like about this panel is also i guess the the price point you know it's you know with solar panels there are so many different layers of quality and price points this is a solar panel that is really accessible and quite comparable to even a rigid solar panel maybe not as great but pretty damn close and when you consider how the modding mounting options are so easy it makes the comparison of a rigid panel actually be pretty close and so this is a big fan of this panel nice junction box nc4 connectors on the panel if you've got any further questions about this panel and if it's right for you feel free to reach out to pacific yacht systems and thanks for watching
