Sunman eArc 215W Half Cut Shade Flexible Solar Panel

New Half cut design using the latest M6 monocrystalline passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) cells reduces internal resistance and creates two independant strings within the panel.  Effectively reducing the effect of shading when on one side. PERC cells improve the year round performance compared to conventional cells as some of the light that hits the back of the cell is reflected back and converted to current.

These lightweight yet robust solar panels are perfect for caravans, motorhomes, yachts, trains, buses and other applications.

Made with a Patent Pending composite material similar to those used in airplane windows.  These panels are tough enough to be approved by the Clean Energy Council for residential use yet they don't have a heavy, rigid frame or glass. Click the Features tab for more information.

The junction box cover clips to the junction box, however it will require some form of adhesion such as Fix8.

Mounting Options:

• The vented gap (height increase of ~15mm) improves panel efficiency and reduces heating of the mounting surface. This method also allows the junction box to sit underneath the panel. This includes:
  • One roll of very high bond double sided adhesive tape
  • Polycarbonate strips
• Installation via very high bond double sided adhesive tape provides a low profile secure bond.
• The Bi-Adhesive Backing includes a continuous sheet of 1mm bi-adhesive material over the whole back of the panel for mounting on smooth surfaces with no bumps or dips.  Installation then becomes a simple peel and stick. 
• A structural silicone (Fix8) can be used to adhere the panel to a surface.
• The panel can be secured using bolts or screws through eyelets in the panel.
• eArc are the only lightweight solar panels approved for grid connect on buildings which means they have passed the same testing criteria as traditional solar panels.

Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100 VOC / 30A Charge Controller

A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.

MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking:

By constantly monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels, MPPT technology ensures that every drop of available power is rinsed out of your panels, and harvested for storage. The advantage of this is most noticeable when the sky is partially clouded, and light intensity is constantly changing.

Remote Monitoring and Control:

Remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger with built-in bluetooth by pairing it with your smartphone or other device via VictronConnect. If your installation is connected to the internet Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both services are free to use. For remote installations - even when there is no internet connection or phone signal nearby - you may be able to monitor your MPPT by bluetooth-pairing with a LoRaWAN (long-range wide area network) device, available optionally.

Bluetooth Smart built-in: dongle not needed:

The wireless solution to set-up, monitor and update the controller using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices.

VE.Direct:

For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices

Ultrafast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT):

Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.

Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions:

If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may be present on the power-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP. The innovative BlueSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.

Outstanding conversion efficiency:

No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%. The full output current up to 40°C (104°F).

Flexible charge algorithm:

Fully programmable charge algorithm, and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details).

Extensive electronic protection:

Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high. PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection. PV reverse current protection.

Internal temperature sensor:

Compensates absorption and float charge voltage for temperature.

Real-time data display options:

• Apple and Android smartphones, tablets and other devices.
• Color Control GX and other GX products.
