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.
