Dual Battery 10A PWM charge controller - EPsolar

Charge both your starter battery and leisure battery at once from 1 solar panel.  Made by EPsolar who make our popular Tracer MPPTs.

Please note, if running a long cable to one of your batteries please ensure you use a thick enough cable.  Please use this volt drop caclulator to see your losses on the cable you plan to use.

Victron Solar 20W Mono panel 440x350x25mm

• Low voltage-temperature coefficient enhances high temperature operation.

• Exceptional low light performance and high sensitivity to light across the entire solar spectrum.
• 25 - Year limited warranty on power output and performance.
• 5 - Year Limited warranty on materials and workmanship.
• Sealed, waterproof, multi-functional junction box gives high level of safety.
• High performance bypass diodes minimise the power drop caused by shade.
• Advanced EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) encapsulation system with triple-layer back sheet meets the most stringent safety requirements for high-voltage operation.
• A sturdy, anodized aluminium frame allows modules to be easily roof-mounted with a variety of standard mounting systems.
• Highest quality, high transmission tempered glass provides enhanced stiffness and impact resistance.
• Please note unusually these panels do not come with any cable or connectors.  You might like to consider 6mm square solar cable and MC4 connectors.

Seven piece solar panel mounting kit in black ABS.

The set includes 6 brackets (4 corners and 2 sides) and cable entry gland. 

These mounts are ideal for fixing our solar panels to any vehicle, caravan, boat, barge or even outbuildings and sheds to provide a strong, secure and aesthetically pleasing fixing method.

The mounts will support the solar panel at 25mm above the surface enabling airflow underneath which keeps it cool, ensuring the solar panel functions at it's optimum.

General mounting guidance:

If using with panels equal to or under 175W, you can secure the panel by screwing or bolting it to the mounting corner.  The corner itself can be fixed with a good strong adhesive like 'Sikaflex' or 'CT1' which we sell in black white or clear.  See related products tab.  This removes the need to drill holes in your roof!  

You must ensure the roof is clean and dry before attaching.   If a painted roof ensure the paint is not flakey.

If you are using panels over 175W in size we recommend that not only do you bolt or screw the panel to the corners but additionally bolt or screw the mounting to the roof as well.

If fitting any panel to a vehicle we would recommend the belt and braces approach of bolting or screwing the panel to the mounts and additionally bolt or screw the mounts to the roof.  The strength of these systems is only as strong as the roof type or paint on your roof!

Notes:

- ABS mounts raise the panel by 25mm.  Edge of panel to edge of ABS is 55mm.

- You need to purchase additional self tappers or bolts to fit the panel to the ABS mounts, see below for one method which is a good tutorial to get you started...

Ideally 6mm solar cable max - for bigger units with bigger cable click here

Unit best used for housing 1 x AC RCBos, string fuse holders and fuses up to 32a as opposed to DC Din Mount breakers.

Best practice would be to use this unit with no bigger than 6mm square cable and appropriately sized breakers if you are using it with glands for a water tight fit.  If you are using it in an environment that is already dry and dust free the use of glands may not be necessary.

This is an empty unit, you must add the breakers you need to your cart as well, see related items tab above to see the breakers that fit.  

You will also need suitable cable entry glands - please see related products tab.

For use with our stick down panels and ABS mounting kits - also great for sealing cable holes
