All-in-one solar power solution, 4000W inverter, 250/100 MPPT charge controller

The EasySolar-II GX combines a MPPT Solar Charge Controller, an inverter/charger and control hub in one enclosure. The product is easy to install, with a minimum of wiring.

The all-in-one solar power solution
The Victron EasySolar-II GX integrates the following elements:
• A MultiPlus-II inverter/charger
• A SmartSolar MPPT -Tr solar charge controller
• A GX device with a 2 x 16 character display.
These elements come prewired together inside a single unit. This greatly simplifies
most installations, saving time and money.

Display and wifi
The display reads battery, inverter and solar charge controller parameters.
The same parameters can be accessed with a smartphone or other wifi enabled device.
In addition, wifi can be used to set up the system and to change settings.

Solar charge controller
The DC output of the SmartSolar MPPT is parallel wired with the DC connection of the
MultiPlus-II inverter/charger.
The on/off mechanism of the MultiPlus-II also controls the SmartSolar MPPT.

GX device
The integrated GX device includes:
• A VE.Can interface. This can be used to connect to Victron VE.Can devices (e.g.
VE.Can MPPTs), or the port can be reconfigured via the Remote Console for use
with a compatible CAN-bus Li-ion Battery
• A USB port
• A Ethernet port
• A VE.Direct port
The GX device controls the MultiPlus-II and the SmartSolar MPPT with respectively a
VE.Bus and a VE.Direct connection.

370W Panel Size: 2625 x 1002 mm - F33F-370B2(168) - many bypass diodes fitted for superb shading performance

Bypass diode performance versus conventional panel video: Bypass video

Shading performance video: Shading video

Junction box is approx 20mm high.

NOTE - The Sika used on these panels is bond once, they do not recommend removal afterwards

Great stick down panels made from CIGS for Low Light and no shading issues.  Shading stops production of the shaded area rather than effecting more of the panel or array as with Crystaline panels.  These are ideal for boats, easy to install and durable.  These panels will not be broken by being be walked on, however care should be taken in order not to scratch them if you are walking on them - Deck shoes are recommended.

Flexible solar panels use 3rd generation CIGS (copper, indium, gallium and selenide) cell technology making our panels extremely lightweight and flexible.

MiPV solar panels are designed and manufactured for powering leisure batteries in Motorhomes, Camper Vans,  Caravans and boats, or anywhere where you need a reliable lightweight efficient solution.

When installing MiPV SuperFLEX panels to a curved surface, the panel will only follow the curve on a single plane with a radius greater than 225mm

• Lightweight PV Panel – Less than 3kg/M2
• Best In Class Truly Flexible CIGS Solar – Unlike traditional crystalline
• No Ballast or racking required
• Excellent low light performance
• Certified to IEC61646 & 61734
• 5 year manufacturers warranty & 10 Year power output warranty

Low Profile Thin Solar Panels

MiPV solar panels are super slim adhering directly to the roof of your motorhome, caravan, boat or vehicle without the need for racking or mounting frames.

Our low profile, ultra-thin system significantly reduces wind resistance and drag for all mobile applications and, as a result, are usually hidden from view.

When compared to traditional crystalline silicon modules which are heavy, fragile and extremely un-aerodynamic MIPV Leisure series solar panels provide significant benefits for vehicle stability, security and efficiency.

Flexible Solar Panels

The MiPV Leisure series CIGS solar panel is built on a stainless steel foil. This foil is encapsulated in high grade, specialist, polymers which ensure the assembled solar panel can follow curves and contours on your motorhome, caravan or boat roof.

These MIPV Leisure Series flexible solar panels are ideally suited to curved surfaces as a result of this construction method.

Lightweight Solar Panels

MiPV Leisure series solar panels weigh significantly less than any comparable silicon panel. Our unique panel construction ensures that a standard 120w MiPV leisure series panel weighs, on average, 12 kilograms less than a traditional glass silicon solar panel of similar power output.

MIPV leisure series solar panels are therefore the ideal choice when fitting solar panels to caravan, motorhome and canal boat roofs. In these days of ever increasing concern over vehicle weights and loads, MiPV leisure series panels offer significant weight savings when compared to heavy, glass based silicon PV panels.

Strong Solar Panels

All MiPV Leisure series solar panels are constructed using CIGS cells based on a stainless steel foil. This construction method allied to our encapsulation process ensures the panel is both flexible and robust.

MiPV Leisure series panels cannot crack and are extremely resistant to impact damage such as large hailstones or stones thrown from tyres etc.

Efficient Solar Panels

MiPV leisure series panels are constructed using CIGS (copper, indium, gallium and selenium) thin film solar cells. This CIGS thin film cell technology ensures that you can harvest significantly more energy over the course of a day when compared to silicon systems of a comparable cost. This is as a result of MiPV Leisure Series panels utilising CIGS thin film cell technology. As a result of better low light performance Cigs thin film cells outperform silicon technology early and late in the day when the sun is lower in the sky. This means more energy is generated than silicon at comparable costs.

MiPV Leisure series panels produce more energy at dawn and dusk because of better low-light performance. Then around noon when temperatures are highest MiPV Leisure series panels are less susceptible to performance drop off than silicon cells (This is known as the temperature coefficient) again providing a significant difference in panel performance.

Simply put silicon cell performance is much more adversely affected by increases in surface temperature when compared to MiPV Leisure series CIGS cell technology.

Easy to Install Solar Panels

MiPV Leisure series solar panel designers have worked in partnership with world leaders in the adhesives technology sector to provide a simple, secure and flexible solution to flexible solar panel installation. MiPV Leisure Series solar panels are supplied with a self-adhesive backing which ensures a simple, straightforward application process.

The combination of a self-adhesive backing and flexible, lightweight modules ensure that MiPV leisure series solar panels can be fitted to most motorhomes, caravans and canal boats by competent DIY enthusiasts.
