Exotronic 180W Fixed Monocrystalline Solar Panel

Using 23% efficient M6 monocrystalline passivated emitter rear contact (mono-PERC) square cut cells and the latest 9-wire bus-bar low-loss design, these panels achieve a high efficiency with a positive power tolerance. 

PERC cells provide better performance in low light applications compared to traditional monocrystalline silicone designs as some of the light that passes through the cell is bounced back and converted into electricity.

The 9-wire busbar decreases the resistance of the module and carries current evenly over the whole surface of the cells to ensure that all there are minimal power losses within the module and significantly reduces uneven cell heating and hot spots.

The Exotronic range of panels has been designed so that all panels have closely matching votlages, therefore all sizes can be wired in parallel.

The anodised aluminium frame is further protected by a black protective coating and is only 25mm thick to assist a low-profile design and reduce the weight of the module while still giving good rigidity to protect the module from vibrational and torsional stresses.  The tempered glass provides high resistance to impact damage.  Low-iron high transmissivity glass is used to provide excellent low light performance.

• Salt mist  and ammonia resistant
• Wind load resistant - 2400 Pascal
• Snow load resistant - 5400 Pascal

Adjustable Black Aluminium Solar Panel Bracket, Pack of 4 

Strong but lightweight aluminium brackets including the screws and bolts are an excellent way of fixing your glass-fixed solar panels to your substrate.

Normal Mounting Method (it is the duty of the installer to ensure this method is appropriate for the panel and roof type):

• Attach brackets to solar panel
• Place panel on substrate and mark hole locations
• Pre-drill holes
• Clean bracket and substrate using iso-propyl alcohol until clean and dry
• Use an appropriate adhesive to cover completely underneath the bracket
• Screw bracket in place
• Cover base of bracket and tops of screws with adhesive

FixTech Fix15 Adhesive Sealant 290ml Cartridge White

FixSeal MSP15 White is a non-yellowing, high quality, single-component flexible adhesive joint sealant with GL Approval that is suitable for above and below the waterline applications.

Based on a Modified Polymer®, it is chemically neutral and fully elastic.
Suitable for use in low movement structural joints in marine, it is also suitable for automotive, aerospace, and construction applications where a tough flexible adhesive sealant is required.
May be overpainted with water based paints.
Colourfast black also available.
Not suitable for flexible solar panels, see Fix8 or a VHB tape instead.

Characteristics:

• High bond strength on a wide variety of substrates
• Non Yellowing white, and colourfast black
• High performance mechanical properties
• Flexible elastic rubber; movement accommodation up to 20%
• Assessed under criteria of NOHSC Australia and considered as non-toxic, Certificate No.2146.
• No bubble formation within the sealant
• Primerless adhesion (except where capillary water pressure can occur)
• Easy to tool and finish
• Excellent extrudability and UV resistance
• Ecological advantages- free from isocyanates, solvents, halogens and acids
• Minimal health and safety considerations
• Can be wet on wet painted with all water based paints and many other systems*
• No staining of porous materials such as natural stone, granite, marble, etc.

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.
