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 30A 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.
