The long-lasting monocrystalline solar cells and the tough, sealed, aluminium frame will provide years and years of consistent, free power. The waterproof design ensures thatthe panel can be used in all weather conditions. Additional features: This inverter is able topower AC loads (and itself) directly from the solar input, withoutthe need for abattery bank to beconnected to the inverter. However, if a battery bank is available, the inverter can power loads directly from the solar panelswhilst the chargingbatteries at the same time. This model also features an Uninterrupted Power Supply ( UPS),and can accept input from the solar panels, mains power/ a generator andthebattery bank- either from a single or combination of input sources. The service life of this battery is typically 3-5 years, but if treated well the battery can last up to 6-8 years. This panel also features innovative 5 busbar solar cells, which are more efficient than the2, 3 or 4busbar solar cells used in most other solar panels, and are able to extract more power from the same surface area. This results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited. These solar cells are also the best choice for applications in warmer climates, as they operate well even inhigh ambient temperatures. This kit alsoincludes 1m positive and negative 25mm 2 tinned copper battery cables with loose ring terminals for connecting the inverter to the batteries, a 100A fuseor circuit breakerfor use between thehybrid inverter andthe batteries, 5m solar extension cable with MC4 connectors to connect to the existing 0.9m of solar cable fitted to the solar panels and battery linking cable to connectthe batteries together.
Enhanced 20A Smart battery charger: Designed to enable safe and efficient unattended charging ofthebatteries from a mains power source or generator, with full overcharge protection and multiple charging stages. Advanced 10A MPPT solar charge controller extracts the maximum power from the solar panels whilst providing complete safety protection. NB: In some rare cases, a solar panel can be connected directly to a battery, without a controller. This can be achieved if the nominal voltage of the panel is lower than 17-18V, and if the solar panel is a lot smaller than the charging battery e.g.. a 10W panel charging a 100Ah battery. Photonic Universe supplied 8 semi-flexible 160W solar panels for my narrowboat. The panels were installed according to the manufacturers instructions, but within 3 years 5 out of the 8 panels had completely failed.A solar charge controller( or regulator, as they are sometimes known) is an essential part of every solar charging kit. The main role of a controller is to protect and automate the charging of the battery. It does this in several ways: 1. REDUCING THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR SOLAR PANEL This inverter intelligently combines the functions of a 1000W pure sine wave inverter,50A solar charge controller and a 20A smart battery charger in one single unit: The high efficiency, waterproof 250W monocrystalline solar panel included in the kit features innovative 5-busbar solar cells to maximise efficiency and output. The panelis fitted with 2 x 5m of 4mm 2 cable with MC4 connectorson the end. These can be used for easy connection to the 5m solar extension cable included with the kit. This kit alsoincludes 2m positive and negative 35mm 2 tinned copper battery cables with loose ring terminals for connecting the inverter to the battery bank, a 120A fuseor circuit breakerfor use between thehybrid inverter andthe battery bank, 10m solar extension cable with MC4 connectors to connect to the existing 1m of solar cable fitted to the solar panels, a pair of T-branch MC4 connectors for connecting thesolar panels (see wiring diagram),a solar isolator switchand metal plate connectorsfor connection of the battery bank.

Enhanced 25A Smart battery charger: Designed to enable safe and efficient unattended charging ofthebatteries from a mains power source or generator, with full overcharge protection and multiple charging stages.The panel andbatteries are covered by a 1 year repair or replacement warranty provided by Photonic Universe. Inthe unlikely event that a defect is found and confirmed during this period, we guarantee that we will repair or replace defective items (at our discretion). Thehybrid inverter is covered by a 1 year manufacturer warranty.For more information please refer to our Terms and Conditions. Without a controller between a solar panel and a battery, the panel would overcharge the battery by generating too much voltage for the battery to process, seriously damaging the battery.
MPPT controllers also boost the amount of current going to the battery, which can vary in amount depending on the weather, the temperature, the battery state of charge, and other factors. There would be no negative repercussions from using a MPPT controller on a solar panel with a voltage close to the battery voltage, but the benefits from MPPT in this sort of system would be much lower. This waterproof, affordable, high efficiency Photonic Universe 160W monocrystalline solar panel is perfect for permanent outdoor use to provide free electricity to charge a 12V batteryto power hundreds of devices and electrical appliances. Inbuilt 50A PWM solar charge controller: Regulates theinput from thesolar panel to the batteries, with a full range ofsafety functions; including protection against overcharge, overheating, reverse current etc. The controller uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology which increases charge acceptance, prolongs the life ofthe batteriesand can often recover some lost battery capacity. Performance data for the solarpanel is displayed on the LCD screen. This complete off-grid kit has been expertly designed to maximise efficiency and output andtherefore comes equipped with some of our most premium quality products; including a5-busbar monocrystalline solar panel and a state-of-the-artIconica hybrid power inverter -an intelligent combination of a solar charge controller, pure sine wave inverter and a smart mains battery charger in one single unit. I'm aware of one other boat owner who has also experienced a 50% failure rate with the same panels.
Additional features: This model also features an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS),and can accept input from the solar panel, mains power/ a generator andthe batteries - either from a single or combination of input sources. The panels have a 1-year manufacturers warranty, and a 25-year 80% performance warranty, but apparently this does not cover the situation where performance drops to 0% within 3 years.
