FAQs

Can I use this panel on a 12V battery system?

Yes, as long as you use an MPPT charge controller to step down the 33.5V to the correct charging voltage for a 12V battery.

Is this panel flexible?

No, this is a rigid panel featuring a tempered glass surface and an aluminium frame.

What happens if a small part of the panel is covered?

The parallel cell structure with five independent strings allows the panel to continue producing power even if a section is shaded.

Is it suitable for marine use?

Yes, the robust aluminium frame and tempered glass are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of marine environments.

Can I connect multiple panels together?

Yes, you can wire multiple panels in parallel or series depending on your charge controller's input specifications.

Troubleshooting

Panel is outputting significantly lower voltage than 33.5V

Check the connections for corrosion and ensure no heavy debris or snow is blocking a large portion of the panel surface.

MPPT controller is not recognizing the panel

Verify that your wiring polarity is correct and that the open-circuit voltage does not exceed the controller's maximum input voltage rating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Continued power generation under partial shading conditions
  • High conversion efficiency via monocrystalline PERC technology
  • Robust construction suitable for marine and vehicle environments
  • Compatible with both 12V and 24V battery systems
  • Sleek all-black appearance

Cons

  • Rigid frame requires fixed mounting hardware
  • Heavier than flexible solar panels at 14 kg
  • Requires an MPPT charge controller for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure the panel is mounted using appropriate Z-brackets or mounting rails to account for the 35mm frame thickness. Due to its size (1546 mm x 825 mm), always verify roof load limits before installation on vehicles. The panel is designed for fixed mounting; avoid walking on the tempered glass surface. Periodically clean the glass with water and a soft cloth to maintain maximum efficiency, especially after exposure to dust, snow, or salt spray in marine environments. Always use correct gauge wiring and a compatible fuse between the panel and the charge controller to ensure electrical safety.
