60W Marine Flexible Solar Panel Kit

This Sunshine Solar Marine Flexible 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 boat/motorhome solar set-ups.

This Marine Flexible Solar Panel benefit from being thin, light and when fitted to the roof of a caravan or motorhome very aerodynamic. The light weight design combined with high efficiency cells and 3° solar panel flexibility makes them perfect for fitting on slightly curved surfaces. The SFGM range of solar panels are also fully encapsulated in an ETFE coating giving exceptional performance in harsh environments, therefore making them the go to panel for marine applications.

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: Bluetooth Adapter is only compatible with the MPPT Solar Charge Controller upgrade:  

• MPPT Single Battery Controller
• MPPT Dual Battery 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. 

Kit Performance - Summertime

• Standard Controller: 16Ah per day 
• Upgrade - MPPT Controller - 20Ah per day

PRODUCT CODE: KITSFG60M

The Sunshine Solar Marine Flexi Panels are encapsulated in an ETFE coating, which has high light transmission, excellent flexibility, and are more heat-resistant than PET films used in other solar panels. 

The panel has a non-stick surface, that make the solar panel, dirt-resistant and “self-cleaning” which helps to achieve optimal performance.

With a 60W Marine Flexi - Sunshine Solar Panel you could expect to generate around 20 amps per day when used in conjunction with an MPPT Solar Controller during the summer months.

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, macbooks and other devices, using the optional Bluetooth Adapter.

• Bluetooth (Bluetooth Adapter required)
• Advanced MPPT control algorithm to minimize the MPP lost rate and lost time 
• The wider range of the MPP operation voltage to improve the PV module utilization 
• Auto control function of charging power & charging current limitation (BATT1) 
• High quality and low failure rate components of ST, TI and Infineon to ensure the product life. 
• Digital circuit control of adaptive three-stage charging mode to enhance BATT1 life. 
• BATT1 type can be set via LED/LCD. 
• Product runs into the low-power mode when there is no manual operation for a long time, and charging conditions are not satisfied (PV<5V). 
• 100% charging and discharging in operation environmental temperature range. 
• LED and LCD display units selectable. 
• Standard Modbus protocol, and RS485 (5V/200mA) communication port for the customer to expand the application area.

 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.
