We made this kit for lighting chicken houses. You may find it useful for lighting other animal housing and sheds too.
The 10ah charge controller takes the light wiring straight from its load outputs. You can programme it to run the lights for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the evening, even switch on before sunrise etc. Full instructions on how to do this are given in the charge controller manual on pages 26 and 27.
50Ah AGM Battery
REC PREMIUM CYCLIC
The REC range of batteries for cyclic applications, including Golf and Mobility. The low maintenance and valve regulated construction combine with heavy
duty plates and innovative separator systems to make the REC range a premium high reliability cyclic battery.
FEATURES
• Double the cyclic life of conventional VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries.
• Electrolyte suspension AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) technology ensures no free electrolyte. • Lead calcium grids for extended life.
• Multipurpose: float or cyclic use.
• Long shelf life.
This battery has M5 size female threaded terminals. Consider purchasing 2 x M5 stainless bolts, washers and nuts to terminate battery.
Bimble Solar 100W Mono Panel
100W power, great for smaller applications and lighting. These are 12V panels so you can use with PWM controllers to make a very cheap system.
Size: 925 x 670 x 30 mm

New XTRA series - 3rd Generation MPPT
For 12V Solar System: 130W solar panel (60V for max input voltage)
For 24V Solar System: 260W solar panel (60V for max input voltage)
No Fan for silent operation, great for vans, boats or any live in spaces
With built in LCD advanced display and programming screen (XDS2)
New XTRA series has Lithium battery support (set via PC cable only)
The XTRA tracer models have a current limiting function, you can connect twice the rated power to the controller so if your on a budget you can use a smaller controller with more panels so that you get more power in winter or low light but don't risk overloading the controller in the summer. The output will be limited to the max listed above.
New EPEver (Tracer) series is EPsolar’s third generation of MPPT controller.
XTRA series are advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charge controllers, for off grid photovoltaic systems, with display unit.
In order to maximise the energy harvest from PV arrays and simultaneously minimise the power loss within a wide range of operating conditions, XTRA series apply an advanced smart algorithm which results in up to 30% higher efficient charging, compared to a conventional pulse width modulation (PWM) charge controller. Xtra series controller have limit protection function on charging current &charging power, as well as auto derating power operation at high temperature; the above protection ensure the stability of system even at exceeded rated PV power and over temperature conditions.
Protection class IP32 and isolated RS485 communication port further improve the controller’s reliability under different application requirements. XTRA series controllers incorporate a self-adaptive three-stage charging algorithm based on a digital control circuit, which eeffectively prolongs the lifespan of battery and significantly improve the system performance. It also has extensive electronic protection for overcharge, over discharge, PV&battery reverse polarity and etc. to ensure the sustainability and durability of the o-grid solar system.

Set of 4 Aluminium mounting brackets for mounting solar panels on vans, boats, sheds or a wooden frame as a easy cheap solar framing system.
** Panels larger than 100w are not recommended to use these alone, as a direct fixing to a vehicle roof. We suggest a bespoke solution using bolts, some of our customers use these brackets and modify them to achieve this, others get a locally fabricated solution **
Includes:
Aluminium mounting brackets;
Wood screws:St5.7 mm*30mm,
Socket Head Screw:M6*25mm,
Premade 6mm Solar Cable with MC4 connectors, quick and easy to install.
(Please note if using as a cable run from panel to controller, you would cut in half giving you 2 x 2.5m lengths MC4 to bare wire)
