Product variants
Like the FLINsail, the FLINkite+ is modular. Choose the right size according to your power needs. For example, a 3M FLINkite+ can power a cooler and laptop at anchor. Choose a FLINkite+ with up to six modules to charge your consumer batteries quickly and efficiently.
The FLINkite+
The FLINkite+ can be characterized by its flying solar panels. The two to six square solar panels are placed over any halyard. The center line holds the system in position, while the guide lines allow synchronous alignment of all modules to the sun. Once the optimal angle of the FLINkite+ has been found, the guide lines are fixed in the clamp provided. This is hooked into the railing with carabiners.
Solar modules aligned at the perfect angle
The performance of a solar module depends on its alignment at a perfect angle. The solar modules in the FLINkite+ can be synchronously aligned around two axes and fixed at any angle.
Bifacial solar modules in the FLINkite+
Our bifacial solar modules can generate energy equally from both sides. The high efficiency of the bifacial solar system and the quick and easy assembly guarantee the user maximum flexibility in energy generation on board.
FLIN quality
We use multi-busbar technology in our solar modules, which offers a particularly high number of electrical contacts due to its design. This redundancy results in a significantly longer service life for the module due to the lower load on the individual conductors. In addition, the semi-flexible solar panels are extremely robust and resistant despite their low weight. The cables of the innovative FLIN solar systems are sheathed with Dyneema fibers. This offers optimum protection even under extreme conditions. To ensure a reliable power supply for your on-board electrical system, all components of FLIN products are manufactured with high precision in Europe.

During sailing, the FLINkite+ is stowed in the FLIN bag and stored in a suitable place, e.g. below deck. In calm conditions or at anchor, the FLINkite+ is hoisted by means of a halyard.
The FLINkite+ is stored protected in the handy FLIN bag. The bag is designed with padding and reinforcement to protect the solar system from light external impact.
The FLINkite+ can be stored in the FLIN bag below deck or in a back box.
Yes, a charge controller and a suitable connector to the FLINkite+ are required. If you have a suitable charge controller and interface, you can connect your FLINkite+. You can find suitable charge controllers for your FLIN product here.
We are happy to advise you and offer a charge controller and connector for your FLINkite+.
The FLINkite+ is a plug & play system. Therefore, no design changes need to be made to the sailing yacht in order to use the FLINkite+. If it is used, the cables can be laid flying through the companionway or a hatch. Alternatively, a fixed socket can be used as a deck feed-through.
