Typically when we say "solar panel" on a boat we mean a photovoltaic module (PV module). A PV module is a packaged, connected assembly of solar cells in an array which can provide an output voltage (typically in the 12 - 24 volt range).

The main types of PV modules in use on boats include:

  • Polycrystalline modules packaged under glass
  • Monocrystalline modules packaged under glass
  • Thin film modules on a steel or flexible substrate, without a glass coating
