Description
If you are handy with a few tools and have time to spare, a BushPower DIY solar kit is a cheaper alternative to a ready made kit. By choosing the DIY kit you are guaranteed quality components at the lowest possible price: all the components you need are included, all that is required is to SELECT A SOLAR REGULATOR OF YOUR CHOICE.
A 100W solar panel is an excellent option to keep a fridge and a couple of lights running. This of course is completely dependant on the weather and the total energy being consumed but this size panel stands a good chance of putting into a battery most of what a fridge takes out on a daily basis. So this solar panel kit is the ideal solar solution for people that have the space and budget to buy a medium-sized solar panel.
Even if the 100W solar panel cannot generate enough energy to keep a fridge running permanently, it will be enough to extend the battery’s life by three or four more days.
The kit is available as a DIY kit, everything you need is included:
- A Renewsys 100W solar panel (this is a short and wide panel suitable for just about all vehicles and installations). Note the image shows an additional alu frame, which is NOT included in the kit.
- The cable and connectors needed to make the cables to connect the solar panel to the regulator, the regulator to the battery, and an extension cord: 12 metres of 4mm2 ripcord, 2x 2 pole 50A grey connectors, 2x 4/10mm cable lugs, and heatshrink.
- NOTE that to keep the DIY kits combinations as simple as possible, a solar regulator is NOT INCLUDED – please select a solar regulator of your choice.Features
- Likely daily energy output: 18Ah to 35Ah (facing the sun on a sunny clear day). Minimum: 0Ah (overcast and rain). Maximum: 40Ah (tracking the sun on a fully clear mid summer day). Figures are for guidance only, for a clean solar panel and other factors.
- The solar panel, in its protective frame, can be mounted onto a roofrack, load bars, canopy, etc. or can be placed on the ground at an angle facing the sun.
- The solar panel with frame and connection are weatherproof so can be mounted permanently and left out in the sun or rain.Specifications
