Durable Monocrystalline Solar Technology

This 120w solar panel portable kit, 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

Two 60w Solar Panels are connected to make this a complete 120w 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
• 120w solar panel portable kit

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 12.8 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 60W + 60W 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.

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.

Why you need a Portable Solar Panel

1. While overlanding takes you far from civilisation, portable solar panels keep your essential devices powered anywhere.
2. Beyond just charging phones, these panels also maintain your vehicle’s battery during extended remote camping sessions.
3. Speaking of batteries, solar power prevents the dreaded dead battery scenario that could strand you miles away.
4. More importantly, this independence from grid power means you’re never searching desperately for electrical hookups or outlets.
5. Additionally, solar panels enable you to run refrigerators, keeping food fresh throughout your entire multi-day expedition.
6. Furthermore, they power communication devices, ensuring you can call for help if emergencies arise in back country areas.
7. On top of that, solar charging supports your GPS and navigation tools without draining your vehicle’s battery.
8. Equally significant, portable panels are lightweight and compact, taking up minimal precious space in your rig.
9. Better yet, modern panels deploy quickly, generating power within minutes of arriving at your wilderness campsite.

And here are 10 More

1. In addition, solar energy operates silently, unlike generators that shatter the peaceful solitude of nature.
2. Transitioning to environmental benefits, solar power produces zero emissions while you explore pristine outdoor environments responsibly.
3. Moreover, this clean energy aligns perfectly with leave-no-trace principles that responsible overlanders follow religiously.
4. From a financial angle, solar panels eliminate ongoing fuel costs associated with running generators during trips.
5. Building on that, they require virtually no maintenance compared to mechanical generators that need regular servicing.
6. Another advantage is their durability, as quality panels withstand harsh weather conditions encountered during overland adventures.
7. Consequently, you gain energy security even during cloudy weather, thanks to modern panels improved efficiency ratings.
8. Beyond practicality, solar setups can expand modular, letting you add capacity as your power needs grow.
9. Looking ahead, this investment pays dividends across countless future adventures rather than single-use rental equipment.
10. Most compelling, solar independence transforms overlanding from careful rationing into comfortable, extended exploration of remote locations.
11. Ultimately, portable solar panels represent the difference between merely surviving outdoors and truly thriving in wilderness.
