Exotronic 180W Fixed Monocrystalline Solar Panel

Using 23% efficient M6 monocrystalline passivated emitter rear contact (mono-PERC) square cut cells and the latest 9-wire bus-bar low-loss design, these panels achieve a high efficiency with a positive power tolerance. 

PERC cells provide better performance in low light applications compared to traditional monocrystalline silicone designs as some of the light that passes through the cell is bounced back and converted into electricity.

The 9-wire busbar decreases the resistance of the module and carries current evenly over the whole surface of the cells to ensure that all there are minimal power losses within the module and significantly reduces uneven cell heating and hot spots.

The Exotronic range of panels has been designed so that all panels have closely matching votlages, therefore all sizes can be wired in parallel.

The anodised aluminium frame is further protected by a black protective coating and is only 25mm thick to assist a low-profile design and reduce the weight of the module while still giving good rigidity to protect the module from vibrational and torsional stresses.  The tempered glass provides high resistance to impact damage.  Low-iron high transmissivity glass is used to provide excellent low light performance.

Adjustable Black Aluminium Solar Panel Bracket, Pack of 4

Strong but lightweight aluminium brackets including the screws and bolts are an excellent way of fixing your glass-fixed solar panels to your substrate.

Normal Mounting Method (it is the duty of the installer to ensure this method is appropriate for the panel and roof type):

• Attach brackets to solar panel
• Place panel on substrate and mark hole locations
• Pre-drill holes
• Clean bracket and substrate using iso-propyl alcohol until clean and dry
• Use an appropriate adhesive to cover completely underneath the bracket
• Screw bracket in place
• Cover base of bracket and tops of screws with adhesive

Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 Charge Controller

Solar charge controller:

A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.

MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking:

By constantly monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels, MPPT technology ensures that every drop of available power is rinsed out of your panels, and harvested for storage. The advantage of this is most noticeable when the sky is partially clouded, and light intensity is constantly changing.

Remote Monitoring and Control:

Remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger with built-in Bluetooth by pairing it with your smartphone or other devices via VictronConnect. If your installation is connected to the internet Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both services are free to use. For remote installations - even when there is no internet connection or phone signal nearby - you may be able to monitor your MPPT by Bluetooth-pairing with a  LoRaWAN (long-range wide area network) device, available optionally.
