Solar Panel

Included:

Dometic Lightsolar NDS Energy Semi Flexible Solar Panel 12V 160W

Built for light weight, low profile, and toughness. Monocrystalline cells (≈18.75% efficiency) are embedded in a 7-layer stack.
ETFE top layer: Highly weather- and corrosion-resistant with a self-healing surface that reforms after minor scratches (branches, hail, scuffs), maintaining light capture.
The aluminium backing improves heat dissipation and structural strength. It is also walkable in marine use (with suitable soft-soled footwear).
Junction & cabling: Standard version has an aerodynamic junction box with 3 m cable and bypass diodes to mitigate shading losses.
Flat “Back Junction Box” version: Completely flat face; cable exits on the rear. Uses laminated diodes in the frame and a compact Ø30 mm round rear box for a secure, low-profile connection.

SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 Charge Controller

Bluetooth built-in: Set up, monitor, update, and sync via the Victron app.
VE.Direct port: Wired data link to GX devices or a PC.
Ultra-fast MPPT: Up to ~30% better than PWM and ~10% better than slower MPPT units in changing light.
Load output with BatteryLife: It prevents overdischarge and intelligently manages cut-off/reconnect to ensure regular near-100% recharges, extending lead-acid life.
Programmable charging: Custom charge profiles; day/night timing and light-dimming options.
Temperature compensation: An internal sensor adjusts absorption/float voltages; external voltage and temp sensing are optional via Smart Battery Sense or BMV-712 Smart.
Deep-discharge recovery: Initiates charging even from 0 V (if cells aren’t permanently sulphated/damaged) and auto-reconnects Li-ion batteries with BMS disconnect.

Scanstrut DS-H10-BLK Horizontal Cable Seal

Watertight (IP68): Keeps cable passthroughs fully waterproof.
UV-stable construction: Tough plastic resists sun damage and weathering.
Horizontal entry design: Routes cables through surfaces at a horizontal angle while maintaining the seal.
Secure install: Screw-mounted for a durable, long-term fit in harsh environments.
