30W 12V solar charging kit with 5A solar charge controller and battery cables with crocodile clips

This 30W solar charging kit includes:

- High efficiency 30W polycrystalline solar panel with 5m cable

- Advanced 5A solar charge controller with USB charging port and battery protection functions

- 2m battery cable with crocodile clips and a fuse

- User manual with installation instructions

30W solar panel:

This kit comprises a waterproof, high efficiency 30W solar panel designed for permanent outdoor use to provide free power for charging a 12V battery and powering various devices for many applications. It is suitable for use with motorhomes, caravans, campers, boats, solar lighting, off-grid power systems, or as a backup power source in a garage, shed, or farm. Additionally, it can be used to maintain larger battery banks in a fully charged state. The long-lasting, high-efficiency polycrystalline cells, and tough, sealed aluminum frame ensure consistent and free power for many years. The waterproof design allows the panel to be used in all weather conditions. The panel comes with 5m of thick twin-core cable attached to the waterproof junction box on the back. Please note that the junction box protrudes approximately 0.5cm beyond the frame, therefore, some space should be left between the frame and the flat surface when mounting the panel (typically 1.0 - 1.5cm space under the panel is recommended for cooling).

5A solar charge controller:

This kit includes an advanced 5A solar charge controller designed to protect your 12V battery during charging. The controller features a 5V USB port (1.2A output) for fast charging of USB-compatible devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and mp3 players. It also has a pair of load terminals for connecting 12V loads, such as lights, if desired. The controller is compatible with sealed, gel, and flooded batteries, and the battery type can be easily set. It stops reverse current at night, preventing the battery from losing charge. The controller provides protection functions, including overcharge/discharge, overload, short circuit, and overheating. Other features include LED indicators, a battery type switch, and a load "on/off" button.

Additional items:

The solar kit also includes a 2m battery cable with a fuse and crocodile clips for easy connection to your battery. A user manual is provided with the solar kit containing instructions for quick and safe installation. Advanced users will benefit from an additional user manual for the solar controller.
