180W 12V solar panel with 5m cable

This solar panel is a high efficiency, waterproof 180W monocrystalline panel with a 5m cable. It is designed for permanent outdoor use and can charge 12V batteries to power various applications such as camper vans, motorhomes, boats, sheds, farms, as well as remote applications like telecommunications or monitoring equipment. It can also provide a direct power supply for applications not sensitive to changes in input voltage/current (e.g. electric motors or pumps). The panel comes with 5m of special solar cable that can work at high roof temperatures with minimum power losses. It also includes a pair of male/female MC4 connectors crimped on the end of the cable for easy connection to other solar panels, your existing system, or 4mm extension cable.

The MC4 connectors can also be removed when wiring to the screw terminals of a solar charge controller. The durable, high-efficiency monocrystalline solar cells and the sturdy, sealed aluminum frame will provide you with consistent, free power for many years. The waterproof design ensures that the panel can be used in all weather conditions. This panel also features innovative 5 busbar solar cells, which are more efficient than the 2, 3, or 4 busbar solar cells used in most other solar panels, and are able to extract more power from the same surface area. This results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited. These solar cells are also the best choice for applications in warmer climates, as they operate well even in high ambient temperatures. If you are planning to use this solar panel to charge a 12V battery or battery bank, please note that this panel requires a solar charge controller/regulator to charge a 12V battery.

This product is covered by a 1-year workmanship warranty provided by Photonic Universe. We will repair or replace defective items at our discretion. In addition, 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.

This warranty is provided by the solar cell manufacturer. The solar panel does not come with an installation manual because it needs to be connected to additional devices such as a solar charge controller or inverter, which come with their own manuals. If you intend to use this panel to charge a 12V battery, we recommend purchasing one of our solar charge controllers. All of our solar charge controllers include an instruction manual with detailed installation instructions and wiring diagrams. If you need assistance with installation or have any technical questions, we offer free support. Please contact us by email or phone.
