Mono 150W Solar Panel Kit 1 Description

Lightweight design with rigid anodised aluminium alloy frame and toughened glass

Designed in the UK. CE, TUV, ISO 9001 quality assurance.

Our Monocrystalline panels are 2 to 4% more efficient than polycrystalline.

10 YEAR SOLAR PANEL WARRANTY

Why Go Solar?

Beat energy inflation, energy security, remote location power sources (save a fortune on armoured cabling), mobile power sources, fast payback periods over conventional fuel sources such as diesel generation and hook-ups, keep batteries fully charged at all time as deep discharge shortens life, environmentally friendly power which reduces carbon emissions to slow global warming and climate change.

Monocrystalline Advantages over Cheaper Polycrystalline solar panels

Monocrystalline

• purest silicone 16-20% efficiency
• performs better in lower light levels i.e. in overcast skies
• longest life with lowest rate of performance loss of only 0.36% per year, therefore a 100w panel would be around 91w after 25 years
• better heat tolerance, i.e. performs better on hot summer days

Polycrystalline

• lower grade silicone 13-16% efficiency
• cheaper production costs
• performance loss 0.64% per year, therefore a 100w panel would be around 84w after 25 years
• slightly lower heat tolerance than mono crystalline solar panels, i.e. excessive heating of the panel causes a reduction in power generation

Applications

Sheds, Stables, Boats, Caravans, Motorhomes, electric fencing, road/ path/ driveway illuminated signage, campsites, yurts, multi-panel off grid power source for small buildings, remote telecoms, mobile food outlets, and many more…

Independent Off-Grid Solar Power Source

One or more solar panels can be connected a battery bank and power inverter using a solar charge controller. You can therefore have a 240v power supply anywhere in the world without grid supply. Please see our solar power kits.

Solar Panels do still generate power during cloudy and rainy weather?

We have a rough guide below to solar panel power output relative to weather conditions:-

100% power output – clear sky midday sun with the panel fully tilted toward the sun's position in the sky.

75-85% output – clear sky midday sun but with the panel laid flat

50-65% output – thin cloud, or intermittent small clouds

10-20% output – midday overcast sky or rainy conditions

In the event that the solar panel is in shade for a prolonged period, our solar panels have two built-in bypass diodes which will enable the panel to continue generating.

Solar Panel Battery Charge Regulator Controller 12V / 24V Auto Switching

Solar charge controllers are required to regulate the power output from the solar panels to ensure effective charge of a typical 12V or 24V lead acid battery without overload.  PWM (Pulse Wave Modulation) solar charge controller provide a cost-effective solar charger for the solar panel outputs in our range.  Optimised charge control which helps to prolong the life of the battery. 3-6% more effective than non-PWM charge controllers.  LED indicator light to show battery state.  Uses industrial grade micro-controller chip to work in a wide range of temperatures and humidity.

Warning: The Connection Order Below must be followed

1. Battery Cable
2. Load Cable
3. Solar Panel Cable

Do not install the charge controller in a sealed enclosure where battery gases can accumulate.

These charge controllers can be used with one or more 12V batteries where additional storage capacity may be needed.
