Marine Grade PV Modules & Mounting Frame Kits

For use on ships, PV modules or solar panels need to be installed correctly using specialised mounting frames. These long lasting, high quality steel mounting frames are made in Japan by Teramoto Iron Works and are customized to suit the type of ship they will be installed on. Several types of marine grade PV modules are available and each one is matched to a PV mounting frames.

These kits have been specially designed by Eco Marine Power to withstand the harsh conditions at sea and are the result of experience gained during sea trials, shore-based evaluation at the Onomichi MTTC and CFD analysis in a virtual wind tunnel.
