The BougeRV Solar Bimini Top, SKU S7001-CHTY15 (model SBT3B in the manual, SBT4B for the 4-bow), is a 600D marine polyester boat canopy with a 200 W TOPCon monocrystalline panel built in, on an anti-rust aluminum frame.
The manual rates it 200 W (+5 W), 21 V and 9.52 A at maximum power and 24.5 V open-circuit with 10.1 A short-circuit, with a 600 V DC maximum system voltage, a 15 A maximum fuse and an IP68 rating.
Its temperature coefficients are -0.32 %/°C for rated power and -0.25 %/°C for Voc, and BougeRV markets 25 percent efficiency. BougeRV's FAQ says the cells sit in 4 independent groups of 5 for partial shade.
Output is two MC4-type leads at the aft edge, with an adapter cable to XT60, DC5521 and DC7909 for power stations. The 3-bow canopy is 6 ft long and 46 in high; BougeRV publishes no panel dimensions and no weight.
The kit includes the bow tubes, crossbars, rear support poles, two straps, deck mounts, stainless saddles, SS316 bolts and nuts and a storage boot. This row is the 54 to 60 in width; the 61 to 66, 67 to 72 and 73 to 78 in 3-bow sizes are the same $299.99.
The 4-bow for 91 to 96 in (S7002-CHTY14, 8 ft long and 54 in high, the same 200 W panel) is $329.99.
