240W Sunshine Flexible Solar Caravan Motorhome & Boat Kit

This Sunshine Solar Flexible Caravan & Motorhome Kit includes a choice of either a single battery charge controller for one battery bank typically used in caravan solar set-ups or a dual battery controller for optimised battery charging of two battery banks useful for those of you wishing to keep both starter and leisure batteries charged commonly used in motorhome solar set-ups.

The Sunshine Flexible Solar range benefit from being thin, light and when fitted to the roof of a caravan or motorhome very aerodynamic. Light weight design combined with high efficiency cells and 3° solar panel flexibility for fitting on slightly curved surfaces our flexible solar range are perfect for caravans, motorhomes and campers.

Monitoring of the system can be made easy with the optional remote meter or via Apple & Android smartphones, tablets, MacBook's and other devices, using the optional Bluetooth Adapter.

Please note: The Bluetooth Adapter is only compatible with the MPPT Dual Controller DuoRacer (Upgrade). If you are upgrading to the MPPT Single Controller this has Bluetooth capabilities built-in, so for easy system monitoring you will just need to download the free APP and you are ready to go.

• Standard Controller 24V System - 28.5Ah per day - (10-30% more with MPPT Controller)

If you are a competent DIYer this kit has everything you need for a professional looking finish. If you require the services of an installer please contact our Customer Services on 01508 488188.

SAVE MONEY - Don't forget you can save money on add-ons to compliment your solar kit. A Remote Meter or Bluetooth Adapter will give valuable real-time data on the overall performance of your kit. Bostik-360 Fixing Adhesive recommended for bonding the solar panels and cable entry cover.

With a Sunshine Flexible ETFE 120W 12V solar panel you could expect to generate around 29 amps per day when used in conjunction with a PWM solar charge controller and 40 amps per day when used with an MPPT solar controller during the summer months. Multiple panels can be connected to acquire higher power if needed.

XTRA-N G3 BLE series controllers are based on a new design concept, featuring a Bluetooth module which allows you to read and write parameters via Apple and Android Smartphones. The controllers adopt the advanced MPPT control algorithm, improving the maximum power point (MPP) tracking and acting speed. By minimizing the MPP loss rate and time, the controllers can track the MPP quickly to obtain the maximum energy under any conditions. 

Independent voltage regulation, namely, the battery terminal of the controller can be connected to loads directly when there is no battery, this is a new added function. The Xtra Series are lithium batteries friendly, avoiding the instability output voltage caused by the internal protection of the lithium batteries. 

Low self-consumption design significantly reduces the static power consumption and extends system standby time. 

The Xtra Series perform well under the high temperature ensuring system stability. IP33 Ingress protection and isolated RS485 com port design improves the controller’s reliability to meet different application requirements. XTRA-N G3 BLE series adopts a three-stage charging mode, which effectively prolongs the battery's lifespan and improves performance. Comprehensive electronic protections, such as overcharge, over-discharge, PV & battery reverse polarity, etc., helps to protect the solar system components. This controller are widely used for RVs, Motorhomes, Caravans, Boats household systems, etc.

The Dual Battery MPPT Solar Charge Controller adopts the advanced MPPT control algorithm, which will minimize the maximum power point loss rate and loss time, also fast track the maximum power point (MPP) of the PV array, and obtain the maximum energy from solar array under any conditions. The energy utilization in the MPPT solar system is increased by 20-30% compared with PWM charging method. The controller features a low-power mode, which reduces standby current when the unit is idle preventing power waste and helping to enhance the products life. The system parameters are shown and set by LED/LCD or the MT11 remote meter (Accessory).

Monitoring of the system can be made easy with the optional remote meter or via Apple & Android smartphones, tablets, MacBook's and other devices, using the optional Bluetooth Adapter.

 ① Life battery (BATT1) is the energy storage battery for powering the household loads in the off-grid system, which supports Sealed, Gel, Flooded, LiFePO4, and Li-NiCoMn batteries (the controller can NOT recognize the system voltage automatically). 

② Start battery (BATT2) is the energy storage battery which usually built in the vehicle for powering the system such as RV and Boat, and only supports lead-acid battery (the controller will recognize the system voltage automatically). 

NOTE: the BATT1 and BATT2 must be at the same voltage level.
