Solar Panel Buying Guide

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOLAR PANEL

Solar panels have come a long way in the last few years, with advances in performance and efficiency at a rapidly fast rate. The latest advancement in solar cell technology is the new (Shingled Cell Design) which are solar cells cut into typically 5 -6 strips and overlaid like shingles on a roof. Due to them not requiring busbars across the top of the cells, this increases overall performance, and efficiency, unlike conventional monocrystalline solar panels.


What Is The Best Solar Panel For Camping?

12v monocrystalline fixed solar panels are the ideal choice for small off-grid and camping applications, as they are easy to set up and are overall more efficient than other model solar panels.

Depending on many factors, will solely depend on the perfect solar panel for you. E.g if you have limited roof space you may want to invest in a foldable solar panel or solar blanket. They may be a bit less efficient than a fixed solar panel, but they will do the job greatly if you are limited on space.


Which Range Solar Panel Should I Consider?

When considering which size solar panel you should purchase it’s always a good idea to go with a bigger wattage size than you may need. This will ensure you have plenty of solar production for those cloudy days, and when shading occurs.

A good way to know the right size panel you will need is to first calculate the total amount of watts you will be used per day by adding the total wattage amount from each appliance. For example, if your total was 2,000W, you would require a minimum of 3KW, or (380W x 8) in solar panels to ensure you have enough solar production.

MODEL: SPW-VX-S-160

If you are searching for a reliable source of power to charge your electronic devices, RV, caravan and camper trailer, etc. VoltX 160W solar panel is the perfect investment for you.

This eco-friendly solution is heavy-duty constructed, which is ideal for people who like to spend most of their time in the great outdoors. Made from grade-A Monocrystalline, is born to provide a rapid and reliable source of power when your electronic devices are running out of it.

MODEL: SPW-VX-S-100

If you are searching for a reliable source of power to charge your electronic devices, RV, caravan and camper trailer, etc. this 100W solar panel is the perfect investment for you. Made from grade-A Monocrystalline, is born to provide a rapid and reliable source of power when your electronic devices are running out of it.

This fixed solar panel is metallized with thin 9BB (Busbar) printed on the front and rear of the solar cell. It comes with many advantages compared to standard 5BB solar panels. With the increase in the busbars, the resistance and current on the cell are more evenly distributed, thus the resistance loss is reduced, conducive to the current collection.

MODEL: SPW-SSM-S-200

The VoltX 200W Shingled PERC Flexible Solar Panel is anything but traditional. Introduce the latest advance Shingled PERC solar cells - Shingled solar cells are solar cells that are cut into typically 5 or 6 strips.

Unlike conventional solar panels that use busbars to hold them together – minimizing the number of cells and thus power, you can draw – shingled panels utilize solar strips. The strips are overlaid, meaning there is nothing but pure cells available to draw power from the sun.

MODEL: SPW-SSM-S-130

The VoltX 130W Shingled PERC Fixed Solar Panel is anything but traditional. Introduce the latest advance Shingled PERC solar cells - Shingled solar cells are solar cells that are cut into typically 5 or 6 strips. These strips can be overlaid, like Shingleds on a roof, to form the electrical connections. The strips of solar cells are joined together using an electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) that allows for conductivity and flexibility.

MODEL: SPW-SSM-X-160

VoltX 12V 160W Flexible Solar Panel- Premium Mono Shingled Cells

Higher power per square metre Increase energy harvest

Shingled solar cells do not require busbars so more of the solar cells are exposed to sunlight. The cells do not need to be spaced apart like in conventional solar panels so the solar panel area can produce more energy.

MODEL: SPW-SSM-X-110

VoltX 12V 110W Flexible Solar Panel- Premium Mono Shingled Cells

Unlike conventional solar panels that use busbars to hold them together – minimising the amount of cells and thus power you can draw – shingled panels utilise solar strips. The strips are overlaid, meaning there is nothing but pure cell available to draw power from the sun.
