Description

This high quality, waterproof 100W folding solar panel is designed to provide free power for charging 12V/24V batteries, for example in vehicles and boats (motorhome, caravan, camper, narrow boat, yacht etc) or any other system with a 12V/24V battery or battery bank. This is the ideal solution for experiencing the benefits of solar without the permanency of a mounted solar panel, as this panel can be folded and stored away when not in use.

This high efficiency 100W (50W + 50W) 12V/24V folding monocrystalline solar panel comes with:

• Adjustable aluminium stand, handle and latches

• 5m solar cable

• Storage / protective case

The folding solar panel has several important features which make it a truly unique, premium quality product:

• The solar panel is completely waterproof, so the unit can be used in all weather conditions

• The high efficiency (50W + 50W) monocrystalline solar panels are made of high quality German solar cells

• The storage bag is not just a dust cover – it includes a layer of foam for added protection

At Photonic Universe we always ensure that our products are of the highest quality. This is why we have selected premium German solar cells for use in this solar panel. These high-efficiency solar cells perform exceptionally well in low light conditions (particularly when compared to solar cells of other origin) and they produce a good amount of power simply in daylight, even when direct sunlight is not available.

This folding solar panel is supplied without a solar charge controller, to offer the flexibility to choose the controller best suited to your application. You can use your existing solar charge controller with this panel or it can be paired with any of our solar charge controllers. We offer a wide range of controllers; with features including LCD displays, MPPT/ Dual Battery/ Buck-Boost capability, mobile app connectivity and more – providing you with increased control over your system. This folding panel also allows you to remotely mount a solar charge controller in a convenient location for easy monitoring and quick access. This folding panel can be easily connected to one or more similar folding panels if necessary. The entire system can then be connected through a larger solar charge controller to increase the energy yield. Please note this panel comes pre-wired for a 12V battery connection and will require re-wiring for 24V. Alternatively a buck boost solar charge controller can be used.

The folding solar panel comes with 5m (bare ended) solar cable to connect the panel to your choice of solar charge controller. The design incorporates a stand which is easy to set up and adjust, while the handle and latches ensure ease of storage and portability. The storage case included with the panel is made with a layer of foam which provides protection for the glass and the frame, and prevents any accidental damage. In addition to this, the solar panels’ corners are protected by plastic shields, which reduce the risk of damage.
