The solar panel is ideal for flat or curved roofs, such as on boats, caravans, motorhomes, RVs etc as it easily moulds to fit the shape of the roof. This panel can be easily mounted using the strong self-adhesive backing provided on the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe solar kit includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e- 160W semi-flexible, textured solar panel made of plastic reinforced with glass fibre, with self-adhesive backing (IEC certified)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e- 20A high efficiency MPPT solar charge controller with inbuilt LCD display\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e- Pair of 5m 4.0mm\u003cspan style=\"font-size:8px\"\u003e\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e single core extension cables with MC4 connectors\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e- 5m 4.0mm\u003cspan style=\"font-size:8px\"\u003e\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e dual-core battery cable fitted with a fuse holder, 15A fuse and 8mm ring terminals\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e160W semi-flexible solar panel: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis solar panel has a textured surface that reduces the reflection of light whilst maximising the absorption of light from every possible angle. This ensures high performance of this solar panel in low light or cloudy conditions, or when the light falls at an angle (morning, evening or winter times). The fibreglass plastic used in this solar panel is very strong and durable. Soft and sealed edges of the solar panel make it resilient to mechanical impact on the sides and help avoid long term delamination. These Austrian manufactured solar panels are made to the highest European quality standards and are fully waterproof with a high resistance to salt water environments which makes this solar panel perfect for boats and marine applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh efficiency MPPT controller:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20A high efficiency MPPT solar charge controller included in this kit uses the most advanced \u003cem\u003eMaximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)\u003c\/em\u003e technology to track the maximum power voltage point of solar panels as it varies depending on sunlight exposure and temperature.
