Technical Specifications Parameter Value Peak Power 120W Maximum Power Voltage (Vmp) 17.5V Maximum Power Current (Imp) 6.86A (2 x 3.43A) Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) 21.6V Short Circuit Current (Isc) 7.4A (2 x 3.7A) Power Allowance +/- 3% Dimensions (folded) 51 x 77 x 7 cm Weight 12.8 kg Charging & Control Features The integrated 10A PWM solar charge controller is designed for optimal battery health and system management. It employs Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology to enhance charge acceptance, prolong battery life, and can even recover some lost battery capacity. The controller is compatible with sealed, gel, and flooded 12V batteries, allowing for specific battery type selection to maximise charging efficiency. Advanced communication technology allows for flexible monitoring and programming: Remote Meter MT50: Connect via RS485 to RJ45 cable for an LCD display of system performance and manual adjustment of parameters and load settings. Wi-Fi Module: Use an RS485 to RJ45 cable to create a Wi-Fi network, enabling monitoring and parameter adjustment through the Solar Station Monitor app (Android & iOS). PC/Laptop Connection: Connect directly via an RS485 to USB cable to monitor and adjust settings using the Solar Station Monitor program (Windows compatible). These methods provide access to various charging parameters, including voltage, current, battery state of charge, accumulated energy, and min/max voltage. Users can also amend battery type and capacity, set charging volts for different stages, and personalise load settings. Typical Applications Application Description Campervans & Motorhomes Provides auxiliary power for leisure batteries, extending off-grid stays. Caravans Keeps caravan batteries charged for lighting, appliances, and comfort. Boats & Yachts Ideal for charging marine 12V batteries, suitable for various weather conditions. Off-Grid 12V Systems Versatile for remote cabins, sheds, or any standalone 12V battery bank requiring portable power. Built-In Protection Functions The advanced 10A solar charge controller incorporates multiple protection features to ensure the safety and longevity of your battery and system. These include protection against over-charging, prevention of reverse current at night (from the battery back to the solar panel), and safeguards against incorrect polarity and short circuits. Common Questions What battery types are compatible with this kit? The included 10A PWM solar charge controller is suitable for sealed, gel, and flooded 12V lead-acid batteries. It allows for battery type selection to optimise charging parameters. Is the solar kit waterproof? Yes, the kit is designed to be completely waterproof, including the genuine IP67-rated solar charge controller, making it suitable for use in all weather conditions. It is important to keep the Anderson plug and metal connectors on the battery cable away from moisture. Can I monitor the system remotely? Yes, the advanced solar charge controller supports various communication methods. You can connect it to a remote meter (MT50), a Wi-Fi module for app monitoring, or directly to a PC/laptop for detailed system oversight and parameter adjustment. How easy is this kit to set up? The kit is designed for immediate use. Simply connect the provided cables to your 12V battery and position the folding panels in a well-lit area using the adjustable stand. An installation manual is included for guidance. Installation Notes Ensure the solar panels are placed in an area with maximum direct sunlight exposure. Connect the kit directly to your 12V battery or battery bank using the supplied cables and crocodile clips. Always follow the instructions in the provided installation manual for safe and correct setup. While the kit is waterproof, keep electrical connections (Anderson plug, metal clips) dry to prevent damage.
