Why Go Solar?

Beat energy inflation, energy security, remote location power sources (save a fortune on armored 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.

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 telecomms, 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.

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

Solar Kit Contents

• 100 Watt monocrystalline Solar Panel with 1M cable & MC4 Plugs attached
• 10A Victron Energy PWM Charge Controller
• 4 x Aluminium mounting brackets
• 5 Metre 4mm2 solar cable with MC4 connectors
• 1.5m Battery to solar controller cable - fused with ring terminals

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) For 12V use 36 cell solar panels , For 24V use 72 cell solar panels or 2x 36 cell in series

  2) The controller switches to the lower float voltage level 2 hours after the absorption voltage has been reached. Whenever the battery voltage becomes lower than 13V, a new charge cycle is triggered.
