I'm planning to upgrade the solar on my power catamaran and I've been looking at the options. I have plenty of space on the flybridge hardtop. On my previous boat I had installed 2 x 400W Sunpower Maxeon panels and they were excellent. I've looked at buying the same again and they're around €900 each here in Türkiye. There are loads of panels available at a fraction of that cost. Without looking at the cheapest I had a look at Arcelik panels - Arcelik would be the premier Turkish brand for white goods. I can buy 545W panels for €120 each - these are rated vmax 42.13v, imax 12.96A.
Is there any benefit in buying the more expensive panels.
