Solar Charger Controller

The charge controller manages the charging process to get the most from your solar panel and battery and is required to prevent battery damage through overcharging. A solar charge controller is not strictly required if the battery you are charging is over 100Ah. Fitting a charge controller is nearly always better than not and in most cases we recommend installing a charge controller even of your battery is over 100Ah in capacity. If charging a battery of less than 100Ah capacity a solar charge controller is required. We recommend the Solsum 6.6F Charge Controller.

Solar Panel Mounting

The solar panel has a sturdy aluminium frame with four 6mm holes pre-drilled in it to aid installation. The panel can be secured using the four cable ties supplied with the kit as a quick or temporary installation. For more pemanent installation, due to the wide variety of positions this panel can be mounted in, customers often fabricate their own mounts or use our z bracket solar panel mounts. It is also possible to simply bond the panel to a suitable flat surface using marine adhesives like Sikaflex.
