Victron 175 Watt Solar Panel & Duo Solar Charge controller, Cable, Mounting & Gland. KIT66

This powerful solar panel kit will charge two batteries at the same time, for example, your leisure and the starter at the same time, these are on different protected circuits. The panel measurements are 1485mm by 668 mm, however, you will need to see the image attached for sizing for when installing these with corner and mid mounts.

Did you know the average sun hours per day in the UK can range from just 1 hour in December to over 7 hours in June. On that basis we assume overall average of 4 hours per day your 175W Solar Panel could produce 700wh per day on average clearly more in summer than winter.

The PWM charge controller has a Liquid Crystal Display for ease of programming and also has a useful USB port for charging phones or tablets. The PWM offers a Day/Night timing option this allows for a On-time after Dusk

This kit is fairly easy to install if you have basic DIY skills. We are always on hand to help if you need some guidance. There are a few handy videos for installation for you to watch if you need a few handy tips for installation.

What is the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels?

The main difference between the two technologies is in the crystal purity of the panel cells. Monocrystalline solar panels have solar cells made from a single crystal of silicon while polycrystalline solar panels have solar cells made from several fragments of silicon melted together. The crystalline purity of the cells of monocrystalline solar panels is therefore much higher than that of polycrystalline solar panels.

A low-cost alternative to an MPPT, these are great for keeping batteries charged for long periods of time. They have a useful two-port USB output for charging phone and tablets

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. Some loads (especially inverters) can best be connected directly to the battery, and the inverter remote control connected to the load output. A special interface cable may be needed, please see the manual. The connect and disconnect voltages are adjustable.

Day/night timing of the load output This option allows for a pre-set ON-time after dusk. Programmable battery charge algorithm Pre-programmed algorithms for AGM, GEL, Flooded or LiFePO4 batteries (with internal BMS only) Two 5 Volt USB outputs Maximum current (both outputs combined): 2A
