This 135W solar panel kit is based on the KD135 framed solar panel from Kyocera. This compact panel should provide pretty much all the power you need for your domestic needs from spring until autumn on your narrowboat, caravan (or even garden shed), and is powerful enough to make a significant difference in winter too. As a kit, it comes complete with the SunSaver 10A regulator and all the cables you'll need to hook it up to your battery bank. Datasheets for the panel and regulator are available on the individual product pages.
Kyocera panels have great build quality and tough anodised aluminium frames. Power output is guaranteed not to drop below 80% of the rated output even after 20 years.
The KD135 solar panel kit includes
We usually supply the kits with a 3m length of cable between the solar panel and the regulator, and a 1.5m length of cable between the regulator and the battery connectors. If you require different lengths, please advise us by email when you order so we can make up appropriate cables.
We can supply the panel either with fixed cables, or with rubber waterproof connectors for passing the cables through a roof or bulkhead. Just select from the options above.
For increased power, choose the MPPT regulator option. MPPT regulators extract about 15% more power from a solar panel than a conventional regulator.
Please note mounting brackets are not included. It's easy to make your own - or browse though the mounts pages for something appropriate!
