RS PRO Surface 10 W Polycrystalline Cable Solar Panel

The RS PRO 10wp Solar Panel is great for weekend caravan trips and low power projects such as powering electric fences or charging power tools. It contains a reverse feed diode to prevent back feed.

• High-efficiency crystalline cell for "all-weather" charging;• Perfect for battery maintenance, off-grid lighting projects and use in caravans and boats over a weekend period;• Water-resistant, robust construction for outdoor use

⚫ The 10W panel does not require a charge controller if the battery to be used is larger than 70Ah.

Solar “photovoltaic” panels use the power of the sun to generate electricity and can be used in a variety of applications from calculators to homes. They are most effective, versatile and cost-saving in many commercial and leisure applications for charging 12/24V batteries.

The daily power production of a solar panel can be calculated by multiplying the panel’s peak power rating by between 0.5 and 6 depending on the time of year, angle and location. For example; an 80Watt solar panel produces a peak current of 4.55A.

• Installing solar panels at a 55-65° angle increases optimal wintertime performance.;• For a year-round power supply, solar panels can be combined with wind chargers.;• Solar systems can be connected in parallel to increase power and in series to increase voltage.;• To complete the system deep cycle batteries, a voltage regulator and electrical cables are required to get up and running. A range of convenient mounting kits are available for pole or wall mounting.

To optimize solar energy generation, solar power panels and charging implements work most effectively in direct sunlight. They can still charge on cloudy days, though it will not provide as much power.
