Customize Your Kit
Design the system you want using the pull-down menus above. All components and configurations have been pre-engineered to ensure compatibility and are described in more detail below.
Solar Charge Controller
The MPPT charge controller converts power from the solar panel to the correct amperage and voltage for charging the battery.
MPPT controllers are up to 30% more efficient than PWM charge controllers and can achieve conversion efficiencies up to 99%, maximizing the energy harvested from your solar panel.
The MPPT Charge Controller also includes a bluetooth monitoring app to visualize and control battery charging with your smart phone.
Battery Monitor (optional)
This is a great device to keep an eye on the state of charge of your battery using your smart phone. It also allows you to monitor and control all battery parameters, historical data, and view energy production and consumption including estimated time remaining at current rate of discharge.
Options:
- Bluetooth App Only (no LCD display). Choose this option for viewing via your smart phone only.
- Panel Mount LCD Display with Bluetooth App. Includes programmable relay (e.g. for auto-generator start) and programmable audible alarm (e.g. low battery alarm). Choose this option if you want a traditional display screen (with Bluetooth app) plus programmable relay and alarm functionality.
Battery Temperature Sensor (optional)
If the charge controller and battery are likely to be installed in different locations where there may be a temperature difference (e.g. outside vs inside, or in different compartments) it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you add the wireless Bluetooth temperature sensor to your kit.
This will ensure that the charge controller adjusts the battery charge current and voltage to match the battery temperature for optimal charging, maximum energy harvest and longer battery life.
Solar PV Cable & Connectors
The included pair of red and black PV cable is designed specifically for solar applications with UV resistant insulation. They are supplied with pre-installed MC4 connectors for easy connection to the solar panels.
Custom lengths and connectors available upon request.
Battery Cables & Connectors
The pair of battery cables come pre-wired with inline fuse and and pre-crimped with battery lugs for secure connection to all standard deep cycle lead acid, AGM, VRLA, and lithium ion batteries.
Custom lengths and connectors available upon request.
Solar Panel Flush Mount Kit
All hardware for flush mounting a rigid solar panel are included:
- 4 x aluminum mount pads
- 4 x lag bolts with washers (to secure mount pads to roof/surface)
- 4 x clamps (to secure solar panel to mount pads)
