Common Questions What can a 30W solar panel power? A 30W panel is suitable for trickle charging 12V batteries, maintaining charge in leisure batteries, and powering very low-draw devices like LED lights or small fans in off-grid setups. It's designed for modest energy needs. Is a charge controller necessary for this 30W panel? Yes, for solar panels rated 20W and above, a charge controller is essential. The included STCC10 controller protects your battery from overcharging and prevents reverse current drain from the battery back to the panel at night. Can this kit charge two batteries at once? Yes, the included STCC10 charge controller features a unique dual battery charging function. This allows it to intelligently charge two separate 12V or 24V battery banks simultaneously, making it ideal for vehicles with both a starter and leisure battery. What is included in the universal fitting kit? The universal fitting kit comprises 225 x 50 x 50mm alloy L-brackets and 16 fixing screws. These components allow you to securely attach the solar panel frame to a mounting surface using a suitable adhesive (not supplied). Installation Notes The universal fitting kit requires a suitable adhesive (e.g., SIKA Flex 252 or similar) for bonding to the mounting surface, which is not included and must be purchased separately. Ensure the mounting surface is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and structurally sound before applying adhesive and securing the brackets. Position the solar panel in an unshaded area to maximise sun exposure throughout the day for optimal energy generation. All electrical connections should be performed by a competent individual, strictly adhering to relevant wiring diagrams and safety standards. Verify correct polarity when connecting the solar panel, charge controller, and batteries to prevent potential damage to components. Before You Buy Confirm the power requirements of your intended application to ensure the 30W panel provides sufficient energy. Check the nominal voltage of your battery system (12V or 24V) to ensure compatibility with the included charge controller. Consider the type and capacity of your batteries; the 10A charge controller is best suited for smaller to medium-sized battery banks. Plan your cable runs and ensure appropriate cable gauges are used for the distance and current to minimise voltage drop. Remember to purchase a suitable adhesive for the universal fitting kit separately, if required for your specific installation method. Specifications are based on manufacturer data and are subject to change. Always verify compatibility and installation requirements before purchase.
