This high-efficiency flexible 240W solar panel kit is perfect for permanent outdoor use to provide free electricity for charging 12V/24V batteries to power various applications, such as in a motorhome, caravan, camper, boat, or for solar lighting systems, off-grid and back up solar power systems.

Solar kit includes:

  • 240W flexible CIGS solar panel with self-adhesive backing (Made in Sweden)
  • Premium 20A MPPT solar charge controller with LCD display
  • Victron 500A smart battery monitor with in-built bluetooth and smart shunt
  • 5m of 6mm² dual core battery cable fitted with a 20A fuse, fuse holder and 8mm ring terminals

 

240W flexible CIGS solar panel with self-adhesive backing (Made in Sweden):

Our fully flexible SELM (CIGS) solar panels that are TUV-certified and manufactured in Sweden to the highest European quality standards. They are constructed using CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) thin-film technology for maximum flexibility and performance under mechanical stresses. SELM panels are built for durability and efficiency, they offer unmatched performance, even in shaded conditions, and are one of the most eco-friendly options on the market. These products are lightweight and ideal for applications requiring flexibility and adaptability, such as curved surfaces and modern architectural projects, industrial projects, residential rooftops, and mobile setups. 

Robust and Long-Lasting Technology:

This panel comes with an impressive 10-year product warranty and a 25-year performance warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind. It is designed to withstand the toughest conditions while delivering consistent energy output over time.

Shatterproof and Crackproof Construction:

Unlike the more common crystalline solar panels, a CIGS panel is fully flexible and walkable, meaning it can endure mechanical impacts and the expansion and contraction of roof materials without suffering from microcracks. It is built to last, even under the most extreme conditions.

Superior Shading Performance:

This SELM panel boasts an exceptional ability to handle shading. With bypass diodes between every cell, it outperforms conventional solar panels (which typically have only one diode per 30-50% of the area) in partially shaded conditions, delivering 10-20% higher annual energy yield.

Industry-Leading Sustainability:

These solar panels have one of the lowest carbon footprints in the industry, producing only 4-6 g/kWh of CO2 emissions during their lifecycle—90% less than standard crystalline solar panels, which emit 40-60 g/kWh.

Streamlined Installation:

Installation is easy with the strong self-adhesive backing that allows for quick and easy setup on a wide range of surfaces, including bitumen roofs and roofing felts. There is no need for complex mounting hardware—just peel and stick.

Sleek Aesthetic Design:

The full-black construction gives the SELM panel a modern, elegant look, making it ideal for rooftops where aesthetics matter. Its sleek design ensures it blends seamlessly with your roof for a discreet and attractive installation.

20A 12V/24V premium MPPT Solar charge controller:

This advanced 20A 12V/24V MPPT solar charge controller with LCD display has been designed and manufactured in Italy in accordance with the highest European quality standards. This product features an extensive range of safety functions as well as programmable settings for the battery and an optional 12V load.

This solar charge controller uses the most advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to ensure that the solar array always operates at peak power. MPPT technology constantly searches for the maximum power point of the solar panels to maximise their energy output in all weather conditions and temperatures. This technology boosts solar module current and produces a higher energy yield compared to standard PWM solar controllers.

Key features:

  • Full safety protection: The unit features a full range of electronic safety functions including protection against over-charging, deep discharge, overload, reverse current at night, solar panel over voltage, short circuit and reverse polarity protection (of the solar panel and battery).
  • Wide solar input range: The controller is suitable for solar panels with an open circuit voltage of up to 100V and with maximum power up to 310W (when charging a 12V battery or battery bank) / up to 620W (when charging a 24V battery or battery bank).
  • Advanced battery compatibility: Suitable for use with a wide range of battery types, including: sealed, gel, flooded and lithium batteries. Advanced configuration of battery charging voltages is also possible.
  • Terminals for a programmable load: Optional 12V appliances may be connected directly to the load terminals of the solar charge controller. The controller features a wide choice of 18 different load management programs. For example, the load can be programmed to operate only during the daytime / nighttime, thanks to the intelligent day/night sensor. Alternatively, more specific timers can be set to switch the load on for a certain number of hours.
  • Backlit LCD screen: Displays vital system information including: power, voltage and current (for the solar panel and battery), a resettable energy counter (for the solar panel and load), battery temperature, load parameters, low battery indication, etc.
  • Battery temperature sensor: Monitors and protects the battery from overheating. Temperature values are shown on the LCD display.

 

Victron 500A BMV-712 smart battery monitor with in-built Bluetooth:

The Victron 500A BMV series smart battery monitor features a high-precision battery shunt that measures critical charging and performance data for batteries. Key features include Bluetooth communication, a secondary input for auxiliary battery monitoring, and an ultra-low power draw of 0.7Ah per month (on a 12V system). The LCD monitor displays essential statistics like battery voltage, state of charge, charge/discharge current, and time-to-go, while the built-in Bluetooth enables remote monitoring and configuration via a smartphone or tablet using the VictronConnect App.

The monitor captures a wide range of battery parameters, including voltage, current, power, and state of charge, with optional support for auxiliary battery inputs and temperature sensors. It also supports midpoint voltage monitoring for balanced battery banks and provides customizable alarms for deviations from user-defined thresholds. A historical data log records vital metrics such as deepest discharge, time since last full charge, and cumulative energy usage, offering insights into battery health and performance trends.

Customizable and advanced features enhance user convenience. The device supports shunts up to 9999A and offers adjustable display settings, scrolling speeds, and alarm configurations. Bluetooth connectivity unlocks advanced programming and real-time monitoring through the VictronConnect App, compatible with most devices. This monitor is suitable for 12V, 24V, and 48V Lead Acid, Gel, AGM, and Lithium batteries, with a maximum nominal current of 500A through the included shunt.

Additional items:

The kit also includes 5m of 6mm² dual core battery cable fitted with a 20A fuse, fuse holder and 8mm ring terminals for use between the solar charge controller and your battery.
