Durable Monocrystalline Solar Technology

This Portable Folding Solar Panel is made of two highly durable Solar Panels with efficient Monocrystalline Solar Cells. Additionally, the panels are reinforced with anodised aluminium and a tough ETFE surface. Because it folds away easily, you can store it when it’s not needed, avoiding any permanent setups. This makes it an ideal solution for flexible, Portable Solar Power.

Complete Folding Solar Panel Kit

Yes Two 50w Solar Panels are connected to make this a complete 100w Folding Solar Panel Kit and includes everything you need to get started:

• An adjustable aluminium folding stand
• A 5-metre battery extension cable
• A protective storage case

Thanks to this you have the ideal Solar Panel Portable Kit, setting up your solar system is simple and quick.

Key features of this Folding Solar Panel

Lightweight and easy to transport – Weighing only 12 kg, it’s easy to carry using the built-in handles. Because of its protective case, transportation is even safer and easier.

Built for any weather – This panel is 100% waterproof, so you can depend on it rain or shine. Therefore, it’s ready for any outdoor adventure or emergency.

High-efficiency solar technology – Two 50W + 50W folding panels use innovative zero-busbar solar cells for superior performance. Compared to standard cells, they offer greater efficiency and higher power density. Thus, you get maximum energy even from a compact surface.

Adjustable aluminium folding stand – The included stand helps you aim the panels toward the sun easily. By optimising their angle, you can maximise power output every time.

Durable and protective storage – The sturdy storage case features a protective foam layer to guard against accidental damage. Because of this, you can transport and store your panel confidently.

Lightweight aluminium-reinforced solar panels

Superior performance in low light – Even when sunlight is weak, these Solar Panels produce a good amount of power. So, you’re not limited to only perfect sunny days.

Built-in strength and resilience – Thanks to an embedded anodised aluminium sheet, the panels are exceptionally strong.

Anti-reflective coating for better absorption – A lightly textured surface reduces reflections, boosting light absorption dramatically. Because of this, efficiency is further increased, helping you get more power throughout the day.

Charging a 12V/24V battery – This folding solar panel is supplied without a solar charge controller. Thus, you have the flexibility to pick the best controller for your setup. You can use your existing Solar Charge Controller or choose one suited to your needs. Alternatively, many Portable Power Stations with built-in regulators work perfectly.

Options for full control – Eos Solar Solutions offer a wide range of Solar Charge Controller with different features. Some include LCD displays, MPPT technology, dual battery support, and even mobile app connectivity. Because of these options, you can easily customise and manage your system.

Expandability and wiring – This Folding Solar Panel can connect with other Folding Solar Panels to expand your solar array. In this case, you’ll need a larger solar charge controller to handle the increased energy. Please note: it’s pre-wired for 12V and needs re-wiring for 24V setups. Alternatively, a buck-boost solar controller can easily handle the voltage adjustment for you.

10A Waterproof Solar Charge Controller

The 10A Waterproof Solar Charge Controller included with the kit will protect your Battery from over-charging The controller has many other protection functions, such as stopping reverse current at night. This is where the Battery tries to power the Solar PANEL AT NIGHT..

The Charge Controller uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology which increases charge acceptance and prolongs the life of your battery. PWM technology can also recover some lost battery capacity.

In addition, the solar charge controller has a very high degree of water protection – IP67 so it is absolutely safe to use this solar kit in all weather conditions.

This model also features advanced communication technology, which offers the user the opportunity to monitor and program parameters for the solar charge controller through various methods:

Solar Charge Controller Connection to a Laptop

1) The controller can be connected to a remote meter MT50 with an LCD screen, which displays system performance information and allows the user to manually adjust parameters and load settings. Requires a RS485 to RJ45 cable to extend from controller to the remote meter.

2) An RS485 to USB cable can be used to connect the controller directly to your PC / laptop, where parameters and settings can be monitored and adjusted via a free computer program – Solar Station Monitor (Windows-based PCs and laptops only).

Using one of these communication methods, the user will gain access to various charging parameters such as voltage, current (separately for solar panel / load), battery state of charge, accumulated charge and discharge energy, min/max voltage and other information. If required the user will also be able to amend the battery type and capacity, set charging volts for different charging stages, specify the duration of each charging stage, create a user-defined battery type with charging parameters specific to their battery (if the pre-existing options are unsuitable), personalise the ‘load’ settings (e.g. set timers for lighting, fans, pumps) and more.

The kit is suitable for sealed, gel and flooded 12V batteries: the solar charge controller allows battery type selection for maximum efficiency of charging.
