This brand new, premium quality 300W 12V/24V solar charging kit is one of the most powerful solar charging kits for vehicles, boats or off-grid power systems. It can generate up to 20A charging current when charging a 12V battery, which means that a typical 100Ah battery will be charged from 0% to 100% in about 5 hours of bright sunlight . Solar kit includes:
360W monocrystalline solar panel: The high efficiency, waterproof 360W monocrystalline solar panel included in this kit has been manufactured to the highest standards. Each individual solar panel is thoroughly tested and labelled with a unique serial number for further quality control and increased warranty protection. It is ideal for all off-grid installations on caravans, campervans, motorhomes and boats for charging leisure battery banks or for standalone off-grid household solar systems with batteries. The panel is fitted with 2 x 0.9m of cable specially designed for solar panels to carry high currents with negligible power loss (4mm cross section). The cable comes with waterproof MC4 connectors which can be used for easy connectivity to the 5m single core extension cable supplied with the kit. Solar panel specifications:
The following 30A 12V/24V high efficiency MPPT solar charge controller with LCD display is included in the kit: *Please note that due to our warehouse arrangements, this item may be shipped from a different warehouse and therefore delivered in a separate package.
This solar charge controller uses the most advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to track the maximum power voltage point of solar panels as it varies depending on sunlight exposure and temperature. This technology ensures the maximum efficiency of your solar system and significantly outperforms standard PWM solar controllers. The controller features a comprehensive set of electronic protection functions such as stopping reverse current at night (from the battery back to the solar panel), automatic cut off to prevent over-charging and deep discharge, over voltage, over load, short circuit and reverse polarity protection. The LCD display shows various charging parameters such as voltage, current and power for the solar panel and the battery. This model also features advanced communication technology, which offers the user the opportunity to monitor and program parameters for the controller through various methods: 1) The controller can be connected to a remote meter MT50 with an LCD screen , which displays system performance information, and allows the user to manually adjust parameters and load settings 2) The controller can be connected to a Wi-Fi module to create a Wi-Fi network, to which your mobile phone or tablet can connect, in order to monitor or adjust charging parameters and controller settings through a free mobile app - Solar Station Monitor (Android-based phones and tablets only). 3) An RJ45 to USB cable can be used to connect the controller directly to your PC / laptop, where parameters and settings can be monitored and adjusted via a free computer program - Solar Station Monitor (Windows-based PCs and laptops only). Using one of these communication methods, the user will gain access to various charging parameters such as voltage, current (separately for solar panel / load), battery state of charge, accumulated charge and discharge energy, min/max voltage and other information. If required the user will also be able to amend the battery type and capacity, set charging volts for different charging stages, specify the duration of each charging stage, create a user-defined battery type with charging parameters specific to their battery (if the pre-existing options are unsuitable), personalise the 'load' settings (e.g. set timers for lighting, fans, pumps) and more. In addition to the built-in temperature sensor, the controller has a pair of terminals for connecting a remote temperature sensor , which can be attached directly to the battery to measure the battery temperature more precisely and optimise the charging process. The controller can automatically recognise 12V/24V battery systems. Note: in order to start the solar charge controller in the correct voltage mode, a working battery should always be connected to the controller first before connecting the solar panel.
Controller specifications:
The controller and accessories come with a detailed user manual which explains installation and operations (advanced users will benefit from a section explaining MPPT technology).
Other components of the solar kit:This kit also includes 5m positive and negative extension leads for connecting the solar panel to the solar charge controller, a 3m 10.0mm dual core battery cable with 40A fuse and ring terminals for use between the solar charge controller and your battery, a set of 4 corner and 4 side mounting brackets for fixing the solar panel to the roof using an appropriate sealant (not included) and a waterproof double cable entry gland for keeping the cable connection fully waterproof when mounting the panel outside and feeding the solar cables inside the vehicle / building / below deck. Mounting accessory specifications:
If your system requires a premium quality, long-life battery, we recommend our AGM or GEL deep-cycle batteries for your application.
Connection scheme: It's very easy to wire this kit up: simply connect a working 12V or 24V battery to the solar charge controller (it will switch the battery light on to show that it has detected the battery and its voltage) - connect battery "+" terminal to the "+" battery terminal of the solar controller, and the battery "-" terminal to the "-" battery terminal of the solar controller. Then connect the solar panel "+" cable to the "+" solar terminal of the controller, and the solar panel "-" cable to the "-" solar terminal of the controller (ideally some cover should be placed on the solar panel during the connection).
