Description ETFE SURFACE Flat Flush Cable UV-PROOF & ANTISLIP 22.3% EFFICIENCY CELLS SHADOW OPTIMIZED DURABILITY FOR A SHARP PRICEThe MAXA series combines a hard-wearing ETFE surface, high-efficiency SUNPOWER MAXXEON cells and SUNBEAMsystem’s own Swedish-developed technologies, normally found only in the more exclusive Tough series. This includes Shadow Optimized and Flushed Soft Junction, as well as a reinforced core – also inherited from the Tough product series.The result is higher build quality and a longer lifespan, with increased charging capacity in a price segment where you would usually only find far simpler panels.Installation is clean and straightforward thanks to the flat cable, which can be glued seamlessly along the roof. MAXA weighs significantly less than traditional rigid solar panels, making handling and installation even easier. The cells offer an impressive 22.3% efficiency, ensuring faster charging. They are also equipped with SUNBEAMsystem’s Shadow Optimized technology, providing maximum charging performance and extended service life.Flushed Soft JunctionSUNBEAMsystem has been a pioneer in Soft Junction technology for more than ten years. The latest and most seamless design is unique and design-protected. The cabling has also been refined – the Flush cable can be glued on the outside or routed through a hole beneath the panel for a completely invisible, cable-free installation. Advantages:Up to 6% higher energy outputDiscreet- truly cable-free installationEliminates wear from concentrated pressure on the panelExtremely durable and stable under high loadsPrevents heat-induced deformation of the solar panelFlush Cable Benefits:Flexible install discreetly or completely hiddenUV-protected and tinned for maximum durability in marine environmentsLow-loss core in a compact housing just 1.2 mm thick Shadow OptimizationMAXA is equipped with SUNBEAMsystem’s unique Shadow Optimized technology, specially developed to make the panel more efficient under partial shading. This delivers higher energy yield and more consistent charging throughout the day.On a traditional panel, even a small amount of partial shade can interrupt charging completely – not only hurting performance, but also stressing the panel and shortening its lifespan. Shadow Optimized counteracts both of these issues, ensuring reliable charging and a longer service life.

Shadow Optimized counteracts both of these issues, ensuring reliable charging and a longer service life.A rigid core for long lifeDesigning a solar panel for mounting on a deck or roof comes with unique challenges. A panel that is too soft wears out quickly when it heats up and cools down, expanding and contracting hundreds of times a day and putting stress on internal components. Because a soft panel depends entirely on the right substrate and bonding, its lifespan can be shortened even if no one ever walks on it.Some panels use metal plates for stiffness, but these risk delamination because metal and plastic expand differently. Tough panels address this with a fibreglass-reinforced sandwich structure, while MAXA offers a similar solution using plastic reinforcement – eliminating the common weaknesses of both soft and metal-backed competitors without increasing price or weight. Comparison of Models and Solar CellsWe only use premium SunPower cells, which are of the highest quality and outperform SunPower’s lower-tier alternatives by a significant margin. They are crucial for enabling our solar panels to reach top-level performance. Below is a comparison table of different models (with factor descriptions beneath the table). DurabilityAssesses the panel’s resilience under changing conditions, especially partial shading. High-quality Sunpower cells are less sensitive and thus have a longer lifespan. Combined with our Shadow Optimized technology, you can achieve significantly greater longevity.EfficiencyDirectly linked to panel performance: higher efficiency means more energy from the same surface area.Shadow Optimized BoostPremium cells are designed to reduce heat build-up and power loss under shading. The higher the cell quality, the less heat is generated, boosting the efficiency of our Shadow Optimized technology. This results in increased energy production, particularly on boats and in motorhomes.AestheticsVisual appeal matters to many users. High-performance cells are characterized by a deep, uniform black color.Tips for Maximizing Your Solar Panels’ PerformanceInstall the panels in unshaded locations and use multiple panels to cover larger surfaces.Choose black panels if you want to combine them with our Tough Black-Hole solution – this not only improves the aesthetics but also makes it easier to utilise large areas. For boats and motorhomes, parallel connection is recommended, as it offers the best performance and helps maintain panel lifetime. Use one or more MPPT charge regulators, such as Moonray, which are optimized to maximize the efficiency of parallel-connected panels (for both single panels and panel groups) – especially Moonray with Shadow Optimized – WeatherMAX technology.This panel is designed for parallel connection. If, for any reason, you need a different setup, we recommend Moonray BOOST or our Tough-IQ panels.Upgrading to SMART LITHIUM LiFePO4 batteries reduces energy losses during charging and discharging, providing a quick and effective upgrade to your electrical system.All our smart products can be monitored and controlled via the Mobile Smart Home app, which includes a statistics view to help you optimize overall system efficiency.If you’d like more advice on installation or optimisation, feel free to contact us!GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR MAXA PANEL WITH OUR SUGGESTED COMBOS 2 Maxa 109W Moonray 320 2 Smart Lithium Multi Bluetooth Adapter 2156.45 EURRead more 2 Maxa 109W Moonray 320 Bluetooth Adapter 545.16 EURRead more 2 Maxa 109W Moonray 320 Smart Lithium One Bluetooth Adapter 1324.95 EURRead more TECHNICAL OVERVIEWArticle#PPmaxPower ToleranceMax System VoltageMax panels in seriesVocIscVmpImpWp/m2Sunpower CellsX38x5335W35.2w /- 40VocNot intended for serial21.77V2.11V18.57V1.9A174Sunpower (22,3%)X106x27FS54W54w /- 40VocNot intended for serial25.74V2.75V20.22V3.06A184Sunpower (22,3%)X106x54FS109W109.1w /- 40VocNot intended for serial21.7V6.29V18.43V5.92A191Sunpower (22,3%)X106x54FS-Black109W109.1w /- 40VocNot intended for serial21.7V6.29V18.43V5.92A191Sunpower (22,3%)X106x54JB109W109.1w /- 40VocNot intended for serial21.7V6.29V18.43V5.92A191Sunpower (22,3%)X106x54JB-Black109W109.1w /- 40VocNot intended for serial21.7V6.29V18.43V5.92A191Sunpower (22,3%)Article#Shadow OptimizedWidthLengthWeight*CableCable LengthCable ExitX38x53No37.8cm53.5cm0.7kgFlush1.5mLong sideX106x27FSYes27.7cm106cm1kgFlush1.5mShort sideX106x54FSYes54cm106cm2kgFlush1.5mShort sideX106x54FS-BlackYes54cm106cm2kgFlush1.5mShort sideX106x54JBYes54cm106cm2kgJunction Box ( Sun-Click Connectors** )2 x 0,7mShort sideX106x54JB-BlackYes54cm106cm2kgJunction Box ( Sun-Click Connectors** )1.5mShort sideVOC: Open Circuit Voltage | ISC: Short Circuit Current | VMP: Maximum Power Voltage | IMP: Maximum Power Current * Weight excluding cables **Compatible with most photovoltaic connectorsMaxa 54W (X106x27FS)P54WPmax54WPower Tolerance / – 4%Max System Voltage30VocMax panels in seriesNot intended for serialVoc25.74VIsc2.75AVmp20.22VImp3.06AWp/m2184Sunpower CellsSunpower (22.3%)Shadow OptimizedYesWidth27.7cmLength106cmWeight*1kgCable FlushCable Length1.5mCable ExitShort SideVOC: Open Circuit Voltage | ISC: Short Circuit Current | VMP: Maximum Power Voltage | IMP: Maximum Power Current *Weight excluding cables
