Pair of Semi-Flexible 50W Solar Panels with Dual Battery Charger and All Cables (100W Total) (Top Outlet)

Solar panels are an easy way to ensure that your leisure battery, or even your main vehicle battery, is always kept topped up with charge. We've put together this money-saving bundle kit to give you two ultralight, semi-flexible solar panels, as well as all of the connectors, cables and controllers you'll need to install and use them.

This kit includes two solar panels, with the cables, connectors and dual battery charge controller you’ll need to install a complete solar energy system for your campervan, RV, motorhome or van. You can install the solar panels by bonding them in place on your vehicle’s roof, ensuring that you won’t be able to forget to set them up or pack them away – they’ll always be there when you need them!

Alternatively, you can use the integrated eyelets on the panels themselves to hang them somewhere convenient to make sure they’re getting as much sun as possible.

There’s a two-year workmanship warranty included with these panels, provided by the manufacturer of the solar cells. The charge controller Also in this kit is a dual-battery solar charge controller, which is really simple to use and prevents your batteries from overcharging. It’s a Pulse Width Modulation (PMW) control, which means can you charge two batteries at the same time, or just select your main vehicle battery or leisure battery to receive a top-up.

It also offers:

• Overload protection, so that the unit won’t overheat,

• Open circuit protection, to prevent dangerously high voltages,

• Lightning surge protection, so sudden spikes in voltage won’t ruin the system,

• Deep discharge protection, so the batteries won’t be damaged by being drained, The unit also has charge current protection up to 20A.

The cables are:

• TUV Certified,

• Rated for a nominal voltage of 1,000V DC,

• Temperature rated for 40 °C up to 125 °C,

• UV, hydrolysis and ozone resistant,

• Highly resistant to temperatures both low and high.

The rubber seal on the cables is waterproof and weatherproof, so you won’t have to worry about rain affecting your solar system! These cables will need into a waterproofed cable entry box, which is also included in this kit. The cable entry box will hold two 6 mm to 12 mm cables through two fully-waterproofed, IP65-rated cable glands.

The IP65 rating means that the junction box provides total protection from dust, and against low pressure jets of water from all directions, with limited ingress permitted. You’ll also get two sets of MC4 Y cable connectors. There will be two connectors with one female and two male connectors (1F2M), and two connectors with one male and two female connectors (1M2F). These MC4 (Multi-Contact 4mm) connectors are ideal for connecting multiple solar panels together, to allow them to provide more power with less complex cabling.

These connectors:

• Are fully TUV Certified,

• Rated for a maximum working volrage of 1,000V DC,

• Have a flame resistance class of UL94-V0.
