The Sunforce 130-Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel has an aluminum frame for extended outdoor use. The bypass diode minimizes the power drop caused by shade. This unit is ideal for RVs, homes, boats, back-up and remote power use, 12 Volt battery charging, and solar power stations, pumps, and lighting equipment. The solar panel has high efficiency crystalline solar cells, and is easy to install and completely maintenance-free. The solar panel is completely weatherproof, and comes with a 25-year limited warranty. Connect multiple panels for more power. The complete kit includes wiring, brackets, screws and a voltage tester.
Sunforce Solar Panels are effective in areas of both high and lower sun exposure, making them ideal for use in the United States
About Monocrystalline Solar Power
Monocrystalline silicon is a material consisting of thin wafers that are cut from a silicon crystal which has grown in several directions. This advanced surface texturing process provides monocrystalline solar panels with a higher power output than amorphous panels of the same dimensions, and makes them more cost and space-effective. These individual wafers are assembled into panels that are covered by durable, weatherproof tempered glass. As a result of their efficiency and durability, these solar panels require virtually no maintenance once installed.
Sunforce monocrystalline panels convert sunlight into an electric current; they do not actually store power. These panels are primarily used to recharge all types of 12 Volt batteries, including lead-acid automotive batteries, deep-cycle (traction type) batteries, gel-cell batteries, and heavy-duty (stationary type) batteries. When using these solar panels to run appliances on a regular basis, the use of deep-cycle marine batteries is recommended. This type of battery is designed to withstand the frequent charge and discharge cycles associated with solar panel use.
