Silicon solar cells are currently available in three main types which are known as monocrystalline polycrystalline and thin film amorphous.
Caravan solar panel chargers.
This caravan battery charger can automatically detect the condition and voltage of the battery before it diagnoses charges and or reconditions it and includes a clear lcd display.
The set itself contains a 10a charger controller which is for two batteries alongside aluminium brackets a cable pass and a 6m anti uv cable.
It displays diagnostic readings for the of full battery capacity charging current and battery voltage.

We recently upgraded our solar charger to a redarc bms 1230s battery manager.
This is a high performance 100w solar panel and is aimed at caravans working to offer high yield even in the most adverse of weather conditions.
This creates a dc electric current which is collected and directed via a controller to charge your leisure battery.
The solar charge controller on this unit is not waterproof but won t get the same kind of wear that foldable solar panels will if left outside for an.
This includes agm and lead acid varieties and operates using a 9 step charging cycle.
Our particular caravan has 450 watts of solar panels mounted on the roof and in perfect conditions can theoretically output up to 30 amps.
