Caravan Solar Kit Components 800W 12V 1000Whdia with Gel Battery
1 x MUST 200W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel: suitable for caravans and 12V installations. It consists of 32 monocrystalline cells, weighs 10.3 kg and has dimensions of 1290 × 760 × 30 mm. The efficiency of the module is 20.4%, making it a very good option for small isolated houses with 3 or 4 panels and a 12V battery installed.
1 x ABS Solar panel support for caravans: includes cable glands to insert solar module cables and Sika brand adhesive from the outside. The ABS support consists of 4 corners and 2 supports in the long part that delimit the structure of the solar panel. This structure can be fixed with a special ABS glue. The ABS construction is helpful in preventing the solar panel from overheating and preventing future operational issues. This overheating is prevented by raising the solar panels a few inches above the roof of the caravan to encourage airflow to cool the solar panels.
1 x Fischer ABS Glue for Supports and Grommets: accompanied by the grommet to insert the end of solar panels and their rubber from the extrinsic one. The ABS supports are made up of 4 corners and second time supports for the long pieces that will delimit the structure of the panel. This structure can specimen fixed by singular rubber for ABS. The ABS structures are convenient to prevent overheating of the solar panel and prevent future problems in its operation. This overheating is avoided by raising the solar panel of the caravan house a few centimeters, facilitating the flow of air that allows the solar panel to cool.
1 x Ultracell UCG-172-12 12V 172Ah GEL Battery: From leading brands like Ultracell, this GEL battery guarantees maximum performance and longevity for your solar kit. This is a deep cycle and represents the best in lead-acid battery technology with a GEL electrolyte. Life expectancy is over 1200 cycles, but if discharged below 30%, battery life can be easily doubled and shortened. The GEL electrolyte is maintenance free and does not out gas, making it a very safe battery for indoor use. The battery has F11 screw terminals and weighs approximately 43 kg.
1 x 12V / 24V 20A PWM Must Solar Regulator: the 20A charge regulator works with a 12Vdc or 24Vdc battery and reports all the battery charging information (general operating status, battery voltage, current produced and temperature) from the panel includes an LCD screen to display In addition, this 10A solar charge controller from the manufacturer Must Solar can be easily configured to accurately charge batteries regardless of technology, ensuring perfect results and long battery life. It features a 12Vdc or 24Vdc output for DC-powered charging, 2 USB ports for charging mobile devices, and offers a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. The charge controller has protection against PV array short circuit, PV reverse connection, battery reverse connection, overload and output short circuit. Available from 10A to 60A in 12V DC and 24V DC models.
1 x Victron Phoenix 12V 800VA Inverter – This is a high performance compact inverter with a 2-year warranty. The strength of the Victron 800VA Pure Wave Inverter is its starting ability and stability of power output. It can handle the spikes that many electronic devices can have, such as small refrigerators and other devices that do not exceed about, 1200W. of maximum performance. Equipped with an LED light that constantly shows the status of the inverter. The Victron brand is a leader in the design and manufacture of sine wave inverters. A very reliable and at the same time compact inverter. Wiring is included to connect to the battery and the power outlet is a European Schuko plug.
1 x Roll Unifilar Cable 6mm2 H1Z2Z2-K 10m red: special for electrical installations. Halogen-free flexible power cables for the most demanding industrial requirements.
1 x Roll Unifilar Cable 6mm2 H1Z2Z2-K 10m black: special for electrical installations. Halogen-free flexible power cables for the most demanding industrial requirements.
4 x 6mm Cable Eye Terminal – 8mm Eye: used to crimp 6mm gauge cables and connect with 8mm diameter screws.
1 x WEIDMULLER PVStick Connectors – Most recommended if you don’t have crimping tools that can connect normal MC4 connectors. They are compatible with all connector models that come standard with solar panels and require no tools to connect to the cable.
