• LED Lights: 2 x 2W, 2 x 3W

This is a self-sufficient off-grid charging and lighting kit. A battery and LED lights are included. The battery has many USB ports for the lights and mobile device charging. The foldable 30 W solar panel can be gently flexed and mounted on a curved roof, RV, trailer, van, boat, track, cabin, tent, and basically any curved surface. The battery or DC Solar System as it's called in this kit is 14 Ah Lithium battery with a handle for portability. The battery features five 5V/2A USB ports which can be used both for mobile device charging and connecting several USB LED lights simultaneously. On the battery itself, there are 2 LED lights. The "Charge" indicator will turn on whenever the solar panel is charging the battery. The green "Load" indicator will turn on if any load is connected to any of the 5 USB ports. There is also a color-coded voltage indicator on the battery. In the yellow range, the battery's voltage is low; over-discharge protection kicks in. In the green range battery works in a regular mode; medium charge level. In the red range the voltage is high; overcharge protection kicks in. The on/off switch turns off all the connected loads the battery continues to charge if the solar panel is connected. The manufacturer covers a warranty period of 1 year. NOTE: besides the solar panel the battery can be charged with an AC or DC power source. Please use a transformer with the AC source.

WondyNation 100 W solar panel off-grid kit is designed for homes, boats, RVs, cabins. This is a beginner-friendly solar kit to build a backup power system is perfect for 12 V battery system. Depending on the sun's availability you can expect to get 350 Wh energy (or 33 Ah of charge) per day on average. The 30 A solar charge controller with Battery Temperature Sensor allows further expansion of the system when you need it. The controller can handle 400 W (4 x 100W) input for a 12 V battery system and 800 W (8 x 100W) for a 24 V battery system. A wealth of system's operating data is displayed on the controller's LCD display many of which (like voltage of solar / load disconnect) you can manually adjust. The display shows system amperage, voltage, amp-hours, temperature, and DC load draw.

SunForce solar charging kit contains a different set of components from what we've seen so far. This kit contains 4 narrow and long amorphous solar panels and a ground mounting frame for a tilted mounting. All the panels are made to be durable, withstand harsh weather conditions including hailstones at 50mph. There are a 7A charge controller and an inverter for DC-to-AC conversion. The inverter makes the system compatible with traditional 110V appliances. You can squeeze up to 60W of clean energy from the panels for your home, RV or cabin needs. The solar panels, made of ABS plastic and amorphous solar cells, produce energy even on overcast days. Amorphous or thin-film solar panels are manufactured by spraying very thin layers of silicon on a glass surface. The process facilitates better energy generation rate in shady or cloudy environments. Created for outdoor use, the panels are weatherproof, operate in extreme temperature conditions, and require virtually no maintenance.

Individual Solar Panel Characteristics

Main Components:

• 2 x 100W 12 Renogy Solar Panels
• 20A Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller
• MC4 Connectors
• Tray Cable
• Mounting Z-Brackets

This kit is the upgraded version of Renogy 100W 12 V Solar Panel Kit with 2 100W panels instead of 1 and a 20A MPPT charge controller instead of a PWM charge controller. As you may have already known, an MPPT charge controller is on average 30% more efficient than a PWM controller because unlike PWM controllers MPPT controllers track the panel's maximum voltage and current at any given moment and can leverage the system's full power for a faster charging. Rover MPPT charge controller has 97% peak efficiency. It can handle up to 400W input @ 24V. All the necessary mounting tools are supplied.
