This 30W polycrystalline solar panel is designed for outdoor use to provide free electricity for charging a 12V battery and powering various applications. It is suitable for motorhomes, caravans, campers, boats, solar lighting, off-grid or backup power systems (in a garage, shed, farm etc).

The durable, high-efficiency polycrystalline solar cells and tough, sealed aluminum frame ensure consistent, 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 at the back.

Note that the junction box extends about 0.5cm beyond the frame, so when mounting the panel, leave 1.0 - 1.5cm space between the frame and the flat surface for cooling (as typically recommended when mounting it permanently).

If you plan to use this solar panel for charging a 12V battery, please note that it requires a solar charge controller/regulator. If you don't have one, you can check our shop category for solar charge controllers. If you already have one of our 30W solar panels or kits with a solar controller, you can easily upgrade the power to 60W by adding this panel in parallel to the existing 30W solar panel (connecting 2 panels: "+" to "+", "-" to "-" and then to the solar controller).

Installation:

This solar panel does not include an installation manual as it needs to be connected to further devices such as a solar charge controller or inverter. If you are planning to use this panel for charging a 12V battery, we recommend purchasing it with one of our solar charge controllers. All our solar charge controllers include an instruction manual for detailed installation and wiring diagrams. If you need help with installation or have any technical questions, we can provide FREE support via email or phone.
