LOWENERGIE 200w Solar Panel Kit Victron PWM Charging Controller Battery Cables Motorhome

Lightweight design with rigid anodised aluminium alloy frame and toughened glass. Why Go Solar? Beat energy inflation, energy security, remote location power sources (save a fortune on armoured cabling), mobile power sources, fast payback periods over conventional fuel sources such as diesel generation and hook-ups, keep batteries fully charged at all time as deep discharge shortens life, environmentally friendly power which reduces carbon emissions to slow global warming and climate change. Monocrystalline Advantages over Cheaper Polycrystalline solar panels. Monocrystalline Purest silicone 16-20% efficiency performs better in lower light levels i.e. in overcast skies longest life with lowest rate of performance loss of only 0.36% per year, therefore a 100w panel would be around 91w after 25 years better heat tolerance, i.e. performs better on hot summer days. Polycrystalline lower grade silicone 13-16% efficiency cheaper production costs performance loss 0.64% per year, therefore a 100w panel would be around 84w after 25 years slightly lower heat tolerance than mono crystalline solar panels, i.e. excessive heating of the panel causes a reduction in power generation. Applications Sheds, Stables, Boats, Caravans, Motorhomes, electric fencing, road/ path/ driveway illuminated signage, campsites, yurts, multi-panel off grid power source for small buildings, remote telecomms, mobile food outlets, and many more. Independent Off-Grid Solar Power Source One or more solar panels can be connected a battery bank and power inverter using a solar charge controller. You can therefore have a 240v power supply anywhere in the world without grid supply. Half - cut solar cells Solar Panels with half - cut solar cells and 9 to 12 buzz bars connecting the cells are 8-10% Smaller than typical square cell panels Solar Panels with half - cut solar cells and 9 to 12 buzz bars connecting the cells are 3% higher effiiency than typical square cell panels Full silicone solar cells used to be square, sometimes with the corners cut off, but now the mainstream trend with all the big solar manufacturers is for half cut, small rectangular silicone cells, due to their higher efficiency. Solar panel technology has moved on considerably in the last few years with the introduction of half cut solar cells which can provide 2 to 3% more efficiency and higher watts per square metre. This means that the same power solar panels used in the past can now be 8-10% smaller. Alternatively you can have bigger solar panels with higher power output, but don’t take up as much space. This works by doubling the number of solar cells and increasing the number of ribbons, (BB’s / buzz bars) which connect the silicone solar cells together within the panel. This helps to lower resistance in the panel, which in turn reduces tiny voltage drops in the many panel connections. Overall this provides more power output. The smaller cells are also less likely to have microfracture issues and with improved cloudy day performance.
