Solar Technology 80W Kit Photovoltaic Solar Panel

The Solar power station (SPS) system from Solar Technology is a revolutionary micro renewable energy generator, designed to provide both a supplement to mains fed power and also complete independence off-grid. The SPS80 kit delivers up to 400 watt hours per day and can be used in a wide range of applications, both domestically and off-grid. The versatile SPS80 solar kit includes everything you need for a mains-free renewable energy solution including an inverter to power 240v appliances, as well as a 12ah charge controller to protect a battery from over charge.

The SPS80 solar kit is the ideal starting point for achieving power self sufficiency in a home, business, holiday cottage or anywhere that may be subject to power cuts. In addition the SPS80 kit is perfect for use where the cost of installing mains cable is prohibitively high whilst providing long term insulation from future energy price increases.

The Solar Technology SPS80 solar kit is ideal for use in many areas such as in the home, summer houses, holiday cottages, static caravans, occasional office use etc. It can typically power appliances such as lighting, TV's, games machines, DVD players, Sky boxes, table lamps, occasional pc / lap top use, alarm systems etc for between 2 - 4 hours per day.

Solar Panels and Chargers

Solar “photovoltaic” panels use the power of the sun to generate electricity and can be used in a variety of applications from calculators to homes. They are most effective, versatile and cost saving in many commercial and leisure applications for charging 12/24V batteries.
Solar panels provide power through batteries at off grid and isolated locations and are widely used in critical telecommunications and telemetry applications. Solar panels enable rapid installation of equipment at remote sites, either temporary or permanent, avoiding the costs and inconvenience of grid connection. They are designed for very low maintenance and longevity.

How Much power?

The daily power production of a solar panel can be calculated by multiplying the panel’s peak power rating by between 0.5 and 6 depending on the time of year, angle and location. For example; an 80Watt solar panel produces a peak current of 4.55A.

Solar Installation

Solar panels are usually installed at a 55-65° angle for optimal wintertime performance. For a year round power supply solar panels can be combined with Wind chargers.
Solar panels can be connected in parallel to increase power and in series to increase voltage.
To complete the system deep cycle batteries, a voltage regulator and electrical cables are required to get up and running. A range of convenient mounting kits are available for pole or wall mounting.
