It can also be used to provide a direct power supply for applications not sensitive to changes in input voltage \/ current (e.g. electric motors or pumps).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel is fitted with \u003cstrong\u003e5m of special solar cable\u003c\/strong\u003e which can work at high roof temperatures, with minimum power losses. A pair of male \/ female MC4 connectors are crimped on the end of cable for easy connection to other solar panels, extension leads or to your existing system (the MC4 connectors can also be cut off when wiring to the screw terminals of a solar charge controller).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe long-lasting, high-efficiency monocrystalline solar cells and the tough, sealed, aluminium frame will give you years and years of consistent, free power. The waterproof design ensures the panel can be used in \u003cstrong\u003eall weather conditions. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis panel also features \u003cstrong\u003einnovative 5 busbar solar cells\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are more efficient than the 2, 3 or 4 busbar solar cells used in most other solar panels, and are able to extract more power from the same surface area. This results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited. These solar cells are also the best choice for applications in warmer climates, as they operate well even in high ambient temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10A solar charge controller:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes a \u003cstrong\u003e10A 12V\/24V Photonic Universe solar charge controller\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to protect batteries whilst charging them, with automatic cut off to prevent over-charging and deep discharge. The controller uses \u003cem\u003ePWM (Pulse Width Modulation)\u003c\/em\u003e technology which increases charge acceptance and prolongs the life of your battery. Often PWM technology can recover some lost battery capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis controller stops reverse current at night (from the battery back to the solar panel) so your battery won't lose any charge.\u003c\/strong\u003e It has many other protection functions such as \u003cstrong\u003eover charge \/ discharge, over load, short circuit, overheating\u003c\/strong\u003e etc. Other features of this controller include LED indicators, temperature sensor, and a load \"on\/off\" button. One of the greatest benefits of this powerful 10A controller is the small size - only 14x7cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis controller can work with sealed, gel and flooded batteries (the default is sealed) or a user-defined battery type (please note battery type can only be changed from default using one of the communication methods listed below). The controller can accept up to \u003cstrong\u003e160W\u003c\/strong\u003e (12V battery) \/ \u003cstrong\u003e320W \u003c\/strong\u003e(24V battery) of solar power input, which makes it a perfect choice for small or medium solar PV systems with a battery and load such as in a campervan or boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe solar charge controller also features \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced communication technology\u003c\/strong\u003e, which offers the user the opportunity to monitor and program parameters for the solar charge controller through various methods:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e1) The controller can be connected to a \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.photonicuniverse.com\/en\/catalog\/full\/26-Remote-meter--display-for-10A-60A-MPPT-and-PWM-solar-charge-controllers-TRPTRVSPULS-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"blue\"\u003eremote meter MT50 with an LCD screen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, which displays system performance information, and allows the user to manually adjust parameters and load settings\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e2) The controller can be connected to a \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.photonicuniverse.com\/en\/catalog\/full\/293-Wi-Fi-module-for-monitoring-and-programming-a-solar-charge-controller-through-the-mobile-app-includes-19m-cable.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"blue\"\u003eWi-Fi module\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to create a Wi-Fi network, to which your mobile phone or tablet can connect, in order to monitor or adjust charging parameters and controller settings through a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=uni.UNICE50FEF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"blue\"\u003efree mobile app -
