This complete 40W 12V folding solar charging kit includes:

- Two high efficiency 20W folding monocrystalline solar panels

- An advanced fully automated 10A solar charge controller with enhanced protection functions

- An adjustable aluminium stand, handle, and latches

- A 5m cable with a battery plug and a fuse

- Battery crocodile clips for ease of connection

- Storage/protective case

- Installation manual

This solar kit has several important features that make it a truly unique, premium quality product:

- Completely waterproof, including the solar charge controller fitted on the back (genuine IP67-waterproof solar controller), suitable for all weather conditions

- High efficiency 20W + 20W folding solar panels made of high-quality monocrystalline solar cells

- Protective bag that is a sturdy protective case made with a layer of foam to prevent accidental damage to the frame and glass

- Advanced fully automated 10A solar charge controller provides complete overcharge protection and supports several battery types with different charging parameters for maximum efficiency (sealed, gel, flooded batteries)

This high-quality, waterproof 40W folding solar kit is designed to provide free power for charging 12V batteries in vehicles, boats (motorhome, caravan, camper, narrow boat, yacht, etc.), or any other system with a 12V battery or battery bank. It includes everything required for battery charging: an advanced 10A 12V solar charge controller, and a 5m cable with a battery plug, fuse, and crocodile clips. You can start using the kit immediately by simply connecting it to your battery and finding a well-lit area for the folding solar panels. The kit comes with a stand that is very easy to set up and adjust. A handle and latches ensure ease of storage and portability. The storage case included with the kit is made with a layer of foam to completely protect the glass and the frame and prevent any accidental damages. In addition, the corners of solar panels are protected by plastic, which reduces the risk of damage and adds to the aesthetically pleasing design.

The 10A waterproof solar charge controller included with the kit will protect your battery from over-charging (it controls the state of charge of your battery every second). The controller has many other protection functions, such as stopping reverse current at night (from the battery back to the solar panel), incorrect polarity, and short circuit protection. The controller uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology, which increases charge acceptance and prolongs the life of your battery.

Please take note of the following information about the solar charge controller:

The PWM technology utilized by the solar charge controller can recover lost battery capacity. Additionally, the controller has a high level of water protection with an IP66 rating, making it completely sealed and safe to use in all weather conditions. The solar kit is compatible with sealed, gel, and flooded 12V batteries, and the charge controller allows for the selection of battery type to maximize charging efficiency.

This model also features advanced communication technology, allowing users to monitor and program parameters for the solar charge controller through various methods:

1) Connection to a remote meter MT50 with an LCD screen enables users to monitor system performance and manually adjust parameters and load settings. This connection requires a RS485 to RJ45 cable to extend from the controller to the remote meter.

2) The controller can be connected to a Wi-Fi module to create a Wi-Fi network, providing the ability to monitor or adjust charging parameters and controller settings through a free mobile app called Solar Station Monitor (available for Android and iOS users). This connection also requires a RS485 to RJ45 cable to extend from the controller to the Wi-Fi module.

3) Users can utilize an RS485 to USB cable to directly connect the controller to their PC or laptop, enabling them to monitor and adjust parameters and settings via a free computer program called Solar Station Monitor (compatible with Windows-based PCs and laptops only).

By utilizing one of these communication methods, users can access various charging parameters such as voltage, current, battery state of charge, accumulated charge and discharge energy, min/max voltage, and other crucial information. Additionally, users have the flexibility to amend 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, and personalize the 'load' settings (e.g., set timers for lighting, fans, pumps), among other capabilities.

The solar kit, suitable for sealed, gel, and flooded 12V batteries, is also covered by a 1 year warranty. The solar cells are guaranteed to produce at least 90% of nominal power after 10 years and at least 80% after 25 years. The product comes with an instruction manual and a separate detailed manual for the solar controller. While the kit is fully waterproof, it's essential to keep the Anderson plug and metal connectors on the battery cable away from moisture.
