• Charge voltage 'float' (2) Factory setting: 13,7V / 27,4V
• Low voltage load disconnect Factory setting: 11,2V / 22,4V
• Low voltage load reconnect Factory setting: 12,6V / 25,2V

USB

• Voltage 5V
• Current 2A (total from 2 outputs)

Enclosure

• Protection class IP20
• Terminal size 6 mm² / AWG10
• Weight 0,15kg
• Dimensions (h x w x d) 96 x 169 x 36 mm

STANDARDS

• Safety EN60335-1, IEC 62109-1
• EMC EN 61000-6-1, EN 61000-6-3, ISO 7637-2

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.

Lightweight design with rigid anodised aluminium alloy frame and toughened glass

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

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.

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
