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
