The system can accommodate both electrical energy capture through photo-voltaic (PV) solar panels and thermal energy capture using a stainless mirror and a solar collector. It is the only solar panel of its type because it not only tracks the sun as it moves across the sky, it also accommodates the ever-changing direction of the sun relative to a boat. Together, these two features ensure that the panels will receive constant sunlight throughout the day. The construction materials &#8211; 7075 aluminium, 316 stainless steel and composite materials &#8211; will withstand the rigours of a marine environment for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the elevation angle of the sun is never very high in Canada, a fixed flat panel can be only about 50% efficient at high noon and only 5% at sunrise and sunset.&nbsp;&nbsp;By pointing the panel directly at the sun at all times,&nbsp;<em>Seal<\/em>&nbsp;will be able to achieve close to 86% efficiency throughout the day. This means that one&nbsp;<em>Seal<\/em> panel can provide the same power as two or three flat-mounted panels, yet occupy only one third the space on the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because&nbsp;<em>Seal<\/em>&nbsp;is mounted off the stern of the boat, it doesn\u2019t use any of the space on a crowded deck and, further, it is ideally positioned to collect the maximum sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use solar panels that exhibit superior build quality and electrical performance and are treated with a non-stick coating that prevents dust\/stain buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Seal<\/em>\u00a0is designed to be easy enough for even a novice to install. The projected lifespan of the system is at least 20 years. The modular design allows parts to be replaced or upgraded easily by a person with no special training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"613\" src=\"http:\/\/wisertech.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SEAL_logo_big-1024x613.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wisertech.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SEAL_logo_big-1024x613.png 1024w, http:\/\/wisertech.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SEAL_logo_big-300x180.png 300w, http:\/\/wisertech.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SEAL_logo_big-768x460.png 768w, http:\/\/wisertech.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SEAL_logo_big-1536x920.png 1536w, http:\/\/wisertech.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SEAL_logo_big-2048x1227.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dynamic Solar Energy Capture Let the sun power your adventure\u2026 Seal is a dynamic solar energy capture system designed to operate optimally on sail and powerboats.
