N-type TOPCon fixed solar
N-type TOPCon bifacial solar panels
Compare Risen bifacial panels for fixed off-grid arrays where efficiency, hot-weather output and long-term reliability matter.
Quick daily-charge check
Enter the installed panel power and battery voltage, then choose the nearest capital city and summer or winter conditions.
Melbourne summer uses 6.4 peak-sun hours and an 80% system allowance: about 2 kWh/day into a 12V bank.
Estimate only: panel watts × seasonal peak-sun hours × 80% system allowance ÷ nominal battery volts. Capital-city assumptions use Bureau of Meteorology mean daily solar exposure for summer (Dec–Feb) and winter (Jun–Aug). Shade, temperature, orientation, weather, wiring and controller limits can reduce charging.
Customer stories
Absolutely stellar service from Cameron at Solar 4 RVs. Initially had him quote up a solar system for my campervan back in June 2024 and then when I was ready to purchase in November 2024 he was able to give me the best prices for every product and so I went ahead with the order.
Also gave me some tips to commission the system once I installed the products. Stoked on the Victron gear. Thanks guys!
Purchased a 12v/15a battery charger in 2023. Had issues with it today (2025). Called their info number and explained. Instantly agreed to accept it as a warranty issue and dispatched a replacement without any problems. Extremely quick service and item dispatched express courier that same day. Outstanding customer service. Thank you.
Purchased a literal boat load of electronics from them for our vessel. It all works great and they did an amazing job setting up the panel. We have had the gear a few years now and still reach out when we need help. Great customer service!
