Stern Arch | Solar panel mounting system

The NOA Stern Arch, second generation, fulfils the never-ending demand for high-power solar panels and offers the smartest and most efficient way to place your solar panels.

Feel the freedom of anchoring, without having to return to shore solely for the sake of charging your batteries. Become an independent, self-sufficient, green sailor, producing your own free solar power. Place up to 2x200W of solar panels right where they belong: out of the way, high up and with full exposure to the sun.

The NOA Stern Arch is installed onto the existing pushpit and spans over your entire stern. The light-weight aluminium construction places no unnecessary weight at the stern, and the little extra windage acts like a perfect anchor sail. It keeps your bow in the wind while anchoring and facilitates tight boat handling in marinas: In strong side-winds, boat maneuvering becomes easier with a more balanced windage of your boat. The NOA Stern Arch compensates for the unwanted windage of your furled up genoa at the bow and helps to better control the boat at low speed in tight marinas.

Solar panels placed at the rear of your cockpit do not only produce power, they give you that little extra shade at the same time, protecting you from harmful rays, acting as a small bimini.  Installation could not be simpler: no drilling, no screws, just the unique smart NOA-fittings holding onto the pushpit. A smart design with diagonal struts allows for maximum sturdiness. And if you wish to take it off during a race or winter storage, the entire NOA Stern Arch is lifted off and re-installed within minutes. 

The second generation of the NOA Stern Arch has been upgraded with a 30mm overlaying tube, replacing the previous 25 mm design. This enhanced structure, combined with a horizontal center brace, increases the maximum width capability from 2.5  to 3.6 meters. The package includes two overlaying tubes, each measuring 1800 mm, which can be trimmed to fit your desired dimensions. Assembly of the tubes are straightforward, using the included locking sleeves to ensure a sturdy and reliable setup.

Made of strong corrosion resistant anodized aluminum, it blends in well with your other equipment made of the same material, such as your mast, boom, rodkick and not to forget, all the other smart NOA deck equipment fitted on your boat.
