Poly 20W Solar Panel Kit 1

Poly 20W Solar Panel Kit 1 Description

Why Go Solar?

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

Technical Specifications

20w Poly-Crystalline Solar Panel with 1 metre cable

• Maximum Power (Pmax): 20W
• Maximum Power Voltage (VMP): 18V
• Maximum Power Current (IMP): 1.12A
• Open Circuit Voltage (VOC): 22.54V
• Short Circuit Current (ISC): 1.19A
• Weight: 1.8KG
• Size: 480 x 350 x 23mm

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

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.

1, make sure your battery has enough voltage for the controller to recognise the battery type before first installation.

2 the battery cable should be as short as possible to minimise loss.

3, this charge controller is only suitable for regulating solar panels.  Never connect another charging source to this charge regulator.
