Hi all. We are all set for 2021 after a busy 2020.
We are well stocked with our all-black 100w Dual-EFTE panels which have proved very popular and robust. They are the best we can buy. Totally encapsulated in EFTE so there is no risk of delamination. They also have a textured surface which harvests refracted light. Current stock is 160 panels (Jan 2021), with a further 200 incoming in May/June, so good for the whole of this year.
We are also fully stocked with MPPT chargers:
Victron 75/15 - bluetooth accesible charger with a great app. (suitable for 1 or 2 panels)
Epever 120w MPPT charger with built in LCD display and optional MT50 remote display.
Epever Duo Racer 260w with built in LCD display - with optional MT11 remote display - charges your starter battery as well as your leisure battery/ies. (Good for 1,2 or even 3 panels).
We have simplified ordering choice by removing the Victron 100/20 as it's not needed for 200w of panels. We can supply it by special request.
We have on two occasions supplied 3 panel kits - 300 watts. Contact me if this is of interest. I've not put it on the site as an option yet as not sure of demand and I like to try and keep the options from getting out of control when ordering! It can cause some confusion.
We haven''t made many changes this year as I've got the kits to a point of optimisation now - I'm happy with all the components. We are sourcing all parts based on the best I can find / most durable.
- Fuse holders are now crimp-connector types, not soldered. Neater, and can be unplugged to help feeding cables behind panels. New for 2021.
- External connectors are all waterproof Amphenol (same as Deutsch) - best in class and guaranteed for 10,000 disconnects - though you should not need to find that out!
- Switched from thinwall to regular wire for the front battery connection (Epever Duo charger) as it is more likely to get crushed / rub against metal due to the cable run from front to back. New for 2021.
- Mounting washers and M6 nylock nuts are now Stainless Steel as I noticed the zinc plated ones corroding (only cosmetic). New for 2021 (+late 2020).
Prices have not increased, and in some cases decreased as I've standardised prices across the option range.
We are still happily shipping to the EU (and some non EU - Norway, Switzerland, for example). Please be aware that your country of receipt will likely add VAT on your order at point of entry - so you'll have to pay your tax to receive your parcel, the same as ordering from other non EU countries like the USA.
If you need to contact me, please follow the email or web link below , and don't use the private message facility here - I often don't get notifications on the forum.
Lets hope this year improves soon. Stay well.
