These panels must be wired in Parallel, use the Y splitter to join them on the roof.
Extremely hard to get hold of these panels, these are new stock which have been in storage for a project which didn't go ahead. Brand new, but might have some dusty frames! Grab them while you can! Very Limited Stocks
These panels do not have shading issues like other panels. Shade only affects the actual amount shaded, unlike crystalline panel. Great for boats or campers where partial shading can often happen.
These CIS thin film panels out perform Crystalline panels in lower light levels. We have done side by side tests in winter and found that with winter sun these panels will give a decent about of additional power over crystalline panels. In cloudy conditions they both perform the same, with very low output, but then the low powered winter sun does shine the CIS panels out perform the crystalline panels with upto double the power from the same sized array. Over a yearly yield we would estimate that you may gain around 10% more power generated over the year. You will require more surface area for these panels, but work out a similar price per watt.
These are framed panels that you can use in off grid or on grid solutions. In off grid you can only use an MPPT with these panels and the panels must all be run in parallel.
Solar Frontier’s new SF165 module offers the highest conversion efficiency of any mass-produced thin-film module - up to 13.8%.
The modules feature the lightsoaking effect unique to Solar Frontier’s CIS technology, which provides higher output than initially specified. All modules are RoHS compliant and cadmium and lead-free.
All modules also have MCS (Microgeneration Scheme) approval required to register for the Feed-In Tariff.
Fewer production steps and raw materials also mean an industry-leading energy payback time of less than one year.
Solar Frontier Thin Film modules are shipped in cardboard-free packaging and use recyclable corner pieces.

Wet lead acid battery - generally not suitable for mobile applications. Should not be located in living areas.
A company wide dedication to quality control and continual improvement has earned Crown Battery the highest quality and service rating in the industry. "We put more into our deep cycle batteries so you can get more out of them...
More performance, more productivity with less maintenance. Nobody builds them like Crown, because no one else invests in the heaviest, thickest plates in the industry. Our plates are over 10% thicker than our competitors.
Combine that with our proprietary PROeye and our low maintenance container - features that make battery maintenance predictable and efficient - and you've got a battery that's going to last longer and perform like no other."
Crown out-performs the competition in head to head tests over and over again.
"It must be a matter of perspective. But we aren’t prone to exaggeration, the way some of our competitors are.
If you claim to have batteries that out-perform all others, an independent laboratory should confirm the findings. That’s the way we do it at Crown. Since 1926, that’s all we’ve done. And to us, it really isn’t a matter of claiming to be first in the industrial marketplace; but being the best. Some manufacturers are comfortable making exaggerated claims.
We’re comfortable making battery history… one customer at a time."
"The heaviest, thickest plates in the industry. Thicker plates, heavier lead connections, and the most active lead material per ampere hour of rated capacity. And heavy means more lead, more active material. Which means more power. Longer life. Who would you put your money on? A lightweight battery? Or the heavyweight of the world. Crown."
Type: Wet lead acid

New XTRA series - 3rd Generation MPPT
For 12V Solar System: 520W solar panel (150V for max input voltage)
For 24V Solar System: 1040W solar panel (150V 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 effectively 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.

Fixes without screwing holes in your roof!
Set of seven black solar panel mounting kit, including 6 brackets (4 courners and 2 sides) and cable gland. They 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 the correct height above the surface to enable the flow of air underneath the panel and keep it cool, ensuring the solar panel functions at it's optimum. The mounts can be safely bonded to the surface removing the need to drill holes. The panel is secured by screwing or bolting it to the mounting corner, but the corner itself can be fixed with a good strong adhesive like 'Sikaflex' or 'CT1' or any polyurethane sealant to the roof. (Ensure the roof is clean and dry before attaching. If a painted roof ensure the paint is not flakey)
ABS mounts raise the panel by 25mm. Edge of panel to edge of ABS is 55mm.
We sell CT1 which is great for sticking these down, please see related products tab for different colours avaialble.
If you are fitting to a vehicle we recommend that you additionally bolt or screw the panel and mounting down as well, as the strength of these systems is only as strong as the roof type or paint on your roof!
