Common Questions What is included in this Solar Technology kit? This kit comprises an 80W rigid solar panel (STP080), a 10A dual battery charge controller (STCC10), and a universal fitting kit with alloy L-brackets and fixing screws. What are the primary uses for this 80W solar kit? This kit is ideal for off-grid applications such as charging leisure batteries in campervans, motorhomes, and boats, as well as providing power for remote cabins, sheds, and various low-power systems. Is a charge controller necessary for this 80W panel? Yes, a charge controller is essential for solar panels rated 20W and above. The included STCC10 controller protects your batteries from overcharging and prevents reverse current drain, ensuring optimal battery health and system performance. How is the universal fitting kit used for mounting? The alloy L-brackets are fixed to the solar panel frame using the supplied stainless steel screws. The lower surface of the brackets then bonds to the roof or mounting surface using a suitable adhesive such as SIKA Flex 252 or similar (adhesive not included). Installation Notes Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correctly polarised to prevent damage. For roof mounting, use a suitable, durable adhesive (e.g., SIKA Flex 252) to bond the universal fitting kit brackets to the surface. Position the solar panel to maximise sun exposure throughout the day, avoiding shaded areas. Consider the cable routing and ensure all cables are protected from environmental damage and secured appropriately. It is recommended to consult with a qualified installer for complex setups or if you are unsure about any aspect of the installation. Before You Buy Verify that the 80W power output is sufficient for your specific energy requirements. Confirm the physical dimensions of the solar panel (836 x 670 x 35mm) to ensure it fits your intended mounting location. Check your battery system voltage (12V or 24V) to ensure compatibility with the charge controller's auto-recognition feature. Consider the type and capacity of your batteries to ensure they are suitable for charging with a 10A PWM controller. Note that adhesive for mounting the fitting kit is not included and must be purchased separately. All specifications are based on manufacturer data. Always verify compatibility and installation requirements with a qualified professional before purchase and installation.
