Solar Panel Project

[Alanmh]

Hi all

I am keen to get a solar panel onto my pop top and wondered if anyone had any comments or experience on this panel 150w Flexible Mono Solar Panel ?

Also, was looking for reccomendations on wire guage to use to the Ctek charger as they will have to go the whole length of the van is 6mm ok?

Thanks in advance

I think 6mm might be what hooks my 150W panel to my ctek.
Think most semi flexible panels are fairly similar. Mine has the connector box on the underside, which personally I think is neater, as the bonding hides it entirely.

4mm will surface on a 150w panel.

Thanks Guys, looks like 4mm is fine, and more flexible.

Any comments on the panel?
O/C max voltage is <23V so ok with my CTEK which was the criteria.

How did you get on with the panel, any good?

So far so good. It's been on a couple of weeks now (bad weather). It's keeping the battery about 13volts through a ctek smart charger and giving it a bit of charge every day. I haven't used it on a camping trip yet , but will report back when we do.
