This solar kit has several important features that make it a truly unique, premium quality product:
- It is completely waterproof, including the solar charge controller fitted on the back (genuine IP67-waterproof solar controller), making it suitable for all weather conditions
- The high efficiency 60W + 60W folding solar panels are made of high quality monocrystalline solar cells
- The protective bag is not just a dust cover, but a sturdy protective case made with a layer of foam that prevents accidental damage to the frame and glass
- The 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 120W folding solar kit is specifically designed to supply free power for charging 12V batteries, such as those in vehicles, boats (like motorhomes, caravans, campers, narrow boats, yachts, etc.), or any other systems equipped with a 12V battery or battery bank. The kit includes everything necessary for battery charging: a sophisticated 10A 12V solar charge controller, and a 5m cable with a battery plug, fuse, and crocodile clips. You can begin using the kit immediately - simply connect it to your battery and place the folding solar panels in a well-lit area. The kit also comes with a stand that is very easy to set up and adjust. Additionally, a handle and latches ensure easy storage and portability. The storage case included with the kit features a layer of foam that provides full protection to the glass and frame, preventing any accidental damage. Furthermore, the corners of the solar panels are protected by plastic, reducing the risk of damage and adding to the aesthetically pleasing design. The 10A waterproof solar charge controller included with the kit will safeguard your battery from over-charging by constantly monitoring the state of charge of your battery every second. The controller also offers several other protection functions, such as preventing reverse current at night (from the battery back to the solar panel), as well as protection against incorrect polarity and short circuits.
The solar charge controller uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology, which enhances charge acceptance, prolongs battery life, and can recover some lost battery capacity. Additionally, the controller has a high degree of water protection (IP67), making it safe to use in all weather conditions. It also features advanced communication technology that allows users to monitor and program parameters in the following ways:
1) Connect the controller to a remote meter MT50 with an LCD screen using a RS485 to RJ45 cable to display system performance information and manually adjust parameters and load settings.
2) Connect the controller to a Wi-Fi module using a RS485 to RJ45 cable to create a Wi-Fi network for monitoring or adjusting charging parameters and controller settings through the Solar Station Monitor app (available for Android and iOS users).
3) Use an RS485 to USB cable to connect the controller directly to your PC or laptop to monitor and adjust parameters and settings via the Solar Station Monitor program (compatible with Windows-based PCs and laptops).
Using these communication methods, users can access various charging parameters such as voltage, current, battery state of charge, accumulated charge and discharge energy, and min/max voltage. They can also amend the battery type and capacity, set charging volts for different stages, specify the duration of each charging stage, create a user-defined battery type with specific charging parameters, and personalize load settings (e.g., set timers for lighting, fans, pumps).
The solar charge controller is suitable for sealed, gel, and flooded 12V batteries, allowing battery type selection for maximum charging efficiency. The solar panel specifications are as follows:
- Peak power: 120W
- Maximum power voltage: 17.5V
- Maximum power current: 6.86A (2 x 3.43A)
- Open circuit voltage: 21.6V
- Short circuit current: 7.4A (2 x 3.7A)
- Power allowance: +/- 3%
- Dimensions: 51 x 77 x 7 cm (folded)
- Weight: 12.8kg
The product is covered by a 1-year warranty. The workmanship warranty on the solar panel is provided by Photonic Universe, and the solar charge controller warranty is provided by the controller manufacturer. Additionally, 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, as provided by the manufacturer of solar cells.
The product comes with an instruction manual explaining connections and operations. Advanced users can benefit from a separate detailed manual for the solar controller, available in the Documents tab.
While the kit is fully waterproof, it is important to keep the Anderson plug and metal connectors on the battery cable away from moisture. For installation assistance or technical questions, free support is available via email or phone.
