- Complete 80 Watt Solar kit with AKT Solar panel, 5m cabling and advanced 10A charge controller to ensure your battery is not over-charged or over-discharged
- Easy for anyone to install with clear instructions (you just need wire cutters and a medium-sized screw driver) - you can either attach it on top of an existing system or in a new stand-alone system
- Designed for permanent outdoor use to power 12V systems (e.g. caravan, boat, motor home, outhouse, or in a garden)
- Gives enough power in summer to run a small fridge and lighting or to power a laptop or small television for up to 11 hours a day
- Panel has high performance even in low light and superior efficiency means gives full 80W of power yet still fits within a 75 x 81 cm space

Product Description
Top of the range, rugged 80W monocrystalline AKT solar panel with 10A charge controller and 5m cable - the complete kit you need to fit solar to your 12V system
Waterproof and maintenance-free, you can use this beautifully crafted AKT solar panel kit anywhere there's sunlight. Wherever you use it, you'll love sitting back watching it generating endless free electricity.
The kit contains all you need to fit solar electricity to a 12V battery system such as in a caravan or boat. Its simple components and clear instructions make it a doddle to wire up.
Multiple mounting holes make fixing the panel straight-forward. The easy-to-wire 10A charge controller has protection functions to prevent damage from incorrect wiring and uses MCU and SCM technology to maximise your battery's capacity and life.
This is the perfect product for enabling you to harness the benefits of free solar electricity.

We bought this solar panel following great advice from the seller. They were really helpful in answering all our questions. We use the panel to charge the battery on our site caravan for a building project that is off the grid. It keeps the battery well topped up as well as charging all our other items like laptop, phones, drill etc. We intend to add more panels when the property is habitable and the sellers very obligingly supplied a larger charge controller so that we can add a further panel at a later date. Compared to other panel providers we contacted the service has been brilliant.

Great product and very easy installation.
Only 2 wires from the panel to the electronic control unit and another 2 wires from the control unit to the battery. It's that easy.
Charges with any signs of light in the sky. At around 8pm, it was still charging at a rate of 50mA which is already half of what a small trickle charger would charge with the Sun pointed at 90 degrees angle directly at its panel.
So in the summer, you could probably get 16 hours of charge a day, at different charging rates according to light intensity of course.
It was also lighter than I expected and it was pretty easy to carry it on the public transports to get to the canal where the boat was.
No more wasting diesel, polluting the air or carbonizing the combustion chamber idling the engine for long periods and not to mention noise pollution bothering the boating neighbours.
The control unit (little box) is the brain of the charging system, keeping its charging at optimum levels including a temperature sensor which also adapts the charge according to ambient temperature variations.
In the winter, with a shorter time of available light in the sky I might just buy another 80W panel to cope with my electrical consumption needs.
That will be a very quick job as I can just use the same control unit which copes with 2 x 80W panels.

Great solor panel thats not too big or heavy, works well even in low light. The only disappointment is that it didn't come with all the connections needed to connect to a battery and there's no holes available to connect a stand but other than that a great buy.
