Been trying to find a supplier for Solara bendable glue-on solar
panels. The SM225m model is a perfect fit on a slightly curved hatch dodger on my boat, and I need the thinness of the SM series panels because of clearance and aesthetic issues. Is Solara a going concern? I've called their headquarters and East Coast site numbers a dozen times the last few weeks, only get voicemail with full inboxes so you can't leave a message, a sign of a dead or dying company. The only place I've seen these things (besides their glossy website brochures) is on Ocean racing Open class boats, like Volvo 70s and Ellen Macarthur's boats. There's a few websites that claim to market them, but I'm not excited about shipping from England or Germany :-) I'm in San Diego, and would prefer to examine one before plunking down my $600. I've looked for similar panels (marine grade, flexible steel backing, no frame, about a 24"x30" form factor) to no avail. |
