100w Poly Solar Panel Kit 12V/24V with MPPT Controller

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

Laminated panel construction, suitable for marine usage, also includes water-tight MC4 connectors. Also for Boats, Caravans, Motor-homes, 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

Important information regarding Charge Controllers – MPPT

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.
