Because they are more efficient than standard glass solar panels you’ll get higher production from a relatively small size. Together with the minimum thickness of only 3mm they are ideal for use on campers, caravans, or other recreational vehicles. The Nordic series is fitted with a smooth surface and is not designed to be walked upon intensively.
In 2025, we surveyed 1,000 home solar customers across the U.S. to understand their experience shopping for and installing solar panel systems. Most homeowners said they paid around $16,129 for a solar panel system, with an average of 14 solar panels installed.
Most homeowners said they paid around $16,129 for a solar panel system, with an average of 14 solar panels installed. While Sunrun was the most popular provider in our survey, many respondents reported choosing a local or regional installer rather than a large, national company.
For example, N-Type modules by REC listed for resale in May and July pushed up weighted average prices to $0.411 and $0.460 respectively. P-Type modules in September increased to $0.311 as modules by Sirius PV, Solar4America, and Panasonic were remarketed. The same price increase was present in P-Type Bifacials for the month of December.
All Nordic models have been upgraded with newer and more efficient solar cells, increasing the peak power output. The Flush models are shipped without stainless steel eyes allowing for seamless integration on hard surfaces.
The Nordic Series has been developed by SUNBEAMsystem for use in its region of origin: the northern latitudes. It offers a universal solution for applications with a requirement for lightweight, flexible, and compact solar panels.
The global solar folding container and energy storage container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with portable and outdoor power demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Solar folding container solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new portable solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 45% market share, driven by emergency response needs and outdoor industry demand.
