Exotronic 24V 200W Portable Folding Solar Panel + Victron SmartSolar 75/15
Exotronic Foldable 24V 200W Portable Solar Solution including a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15
When camping, parking under shade, or need access to free power to charge your battery, Exotronic has you covered with a strong but small form-factor foldable glass solar panel solution. The 200W briefcase is made up from two 100W solar modules using Trina half-cut 23% PERC monocrystalline solar cells with 9-wire busbars to maximise module efficiency.
Easy Setup and Transport
Weighing only 11.2kg, this panel can be manoeuvred with minimal effort.
These modules include bumpers on the corners and fold-away legs,
Premium Cable Set
Also included is an array of premium quality cables to suit any situation:
- 5m 4mm2 PV1-F heavy duty tinned copper (marine) MC4 to 50A grey Anderson cable between the solar panel and solar charge controller (this can be connected directly to your existing DC-DC charger solar input or solar controller) - do not connect the panel directly to a battery without a controller
- 2x 50A grey Anderson tails, to connect to your existing MPPT or PWM solar controller
- Alligator to 50A grey Anderson with 30A fuse (this can be used to jump start a lithium battery BMS or charge a starter battery when needed)
Protective Canvas Bag Included
The included padded canvas bag helps protect the solar module from scratches when stored away and includes a carry handle and pocket to store the cables and controller when not in use.
High-Efficiency Solar Power
Using 23% efficient Trina 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.
Victron SmartSolar 75/15 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller
For best performance and safety of the solar controller, place the solar controller near your battery under cover, this reduces heat transfer from the MPPT to the solar panel and vice-versa.
Bluetooth Smart built-in
The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
VE.Direct
For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices
Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Load output
Over-discharge of the battery can be prevented by connecting all loads to the load output. The load output will disconnect the load when the battery has been discharged to a pre-set voltage (48V model: interface with a relay). Alternatively, an intelligent battery management algorithm can be chosen: see Battery Life. The load output is short circuit proof.
Battery Life: intelligent battery management
When a solar charge controller is not able to recharge the battery to its full capacity within one day, the result is often that the battery will continually be cycled between a ‘partially charged’ state and the ‘end of discharge’ state. This mode of operation (no regular full recharge) will destroy a lead-acid battery within weeks or months. The Battery Life algorithm will monitor the state of charge of the battery and, if needed, day by day slightly increase the load disconnect level (i.e. disconnect the load earlier) until the harvested solar energy is sufficient to recharge the battery to nearly the full 100%. From that point onwards, the load disconnect level will be modulated so that a nearly 100% recharge is achieved about once every week.
