horizont Solar panel 10 W with bracket

Solar modules are widely used in which the cells are generously distributed over the module surfaces. These are mounted in a glass carrier, which is usually stabilized and held in place by an aluminum frame. These modules are sensitive to hard impacts or even twisting, as the modules are not very flexible due to their construction.

In the modules of the AS devices, the cells are placed close together on the module to be able to generate a lot of power in a relatively small area. The modules are mounted on a plastic carrier plate and covered with a transparent plastic layer. For stabilization, the modules are placed in a plastic frame made of polycarbonate. This makes the entire unit more flexible, but still highly stable.

The modules can be mounted on the 14143 solar bracket, which can be used to attach the modules to the safety box, the carrying box or to poles. This way the solar modules can be connected to all common starter batteries. A charge controller is not built into the solar modules and is not required for starter batteries, as long as batteries with up to 85 Ah are not charged with more than 10 watts. The solar modules with 20 or 30 Watt can be clamped directly onto batteries with more than 85 Ah.

A fixed connection of solar module and the device has proven to be disadvantageous in practice, because the device can be supplied with energy via the solar module, although the device is disconnected from the battery. The 10, 20 and 30 watt solar modules are available with the 14462 solar mount, which allows the solar modules to be attached to the farmer® AN1000, ranger® AN2000, ranger ® AN3000 and ranger® AN4800 units.

The solar modules are then connected in the devices to the printed circuit board on which a solar charge controller is installed. This then also enables connection to Super Vlies batteries. The 5 and 10 watt solar modules are available with a special solar bracket that allows them to be mounted directly on the farmer® ABN and hotshock® ABN units.
