Product Details
Please take note of the following information:
This is a 100W 12V lightweight folding solar charging kit with an MPPT controller. This kit includes two highly durable solar panels made from monocrystalline solar cells and reinforced with anodized aluminum and a strong ETFE surface. Additionally, it comes with a high-efficiency 10A MPPT solar charge controller installed on the back of the kit to protect your batteries and extract the maximum available power from the solar panels.
The lightweight folding solar kit is designed to provide free power for charging 12V batteries, commonly used in vehicles and boats such as motorhomes, caravans, campers, narrow boats, yachts, and other 12V battery systems. It comes with everything needed for battery charging and can be used immediately by connecting it to your battery and placing the folding solar panels in a well-lit area.
This folding solar charging kit includes:
- Two lightweight 50W + 50W aluminum-reinforced solar panels with a durable ETFE coating
- High-efficiency waterproof 10A MPPT solar charge controller
- Adjustable aluminum folding stand
- 5m battery cable with crocodile clips for ease of connection
- Protective storage case
- Installation manual
Key Features:
This solar kit is incredibly lightweight (only 5.5 kg) and easily transportable, thanks to the inbuilt handles and protective case. It is suitable for all weather conditions as the kit is 100% waterproof, including the solar charge controller fitted on the back.
The kit includes high-efficiency 50W + 50W folding solar panels made of high-quality 5-busbar monocrystalline solar cells. The advanced 10A MPPT solar charge controller extracts the maximum power from the solar panels while providing complete safety protection. There is also an adjustable aluminum folding stand for positioning the solar panels towards direct sunlight to maximize their output.
The sturdy storage case is made with a layer of protective foam to prevent accidental damage to the solar kit. The lightweight aluminum-reinforced solar panels feature an embedded sheet of anodized aluminum fully encapsulated within the solar panels for added strength and resilience. Additionally, the surface of the solar panels is made of strong ETFE material, which has a longer service life compared to standard lightweight solar panels. This makes these solar panels extremely hard-wearing and less prone to cracking, delamination, and corrosion.
The high-efficiency solar cells perform exceptionally well in low light conditions and produce a good amount of power simply in daylight, even when direct sunlight is not available. The lightly textured coating of the panel creates an anti-reflective surface, allowing the panel to absorb a far greater amount of light, thereby increasing efficiency.
The waterproof, high-efficiency 10A MPPT solar charge controller mounted on the back of the solar kit constantly measures the battery's state of charge to select the most appropriate charging parameters. The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) functionality offers increased efficiency compared to standard PWM charge controllers and ensures that the solar kit provides as much power as possible. The controller also provides important safety protection for the battery against overcharging, reverse current/polarity, overheating, and overload. This kit is suitable for 12V lead-acid batteries.
The solar panel specifications (for both panels) are as follows:
- Peak power: 100W
- Maximum power voltage: 19.1V
- Maximum power current: 5.23A
- Open circuit voltage: 22.6V
- Short circuit current: 6.07A
- Power allowance: +/- 3%
- Dimensions: 61.5 x 56.5 x 5 cm (folded)
- Weight: 5.5kg
This product comes with a 1-year warranty. Workmanship warranty on the solar panel is provided by Photonic Universe, and the solar charge controller warranty is provided by the solar controller manufacturer. In addition, the solar cells are guaranteed to produce at least 90% of nominal power in 10 years after purchase and at least 80% of nominal power in 25 years after purchase, provided by the manufacturer of the solar cells.
The product comes with an instruction manual explaining connections and operations. Advanced users will also benefit from a separate detailed manual for the solar controller found in the Documents tab.
