Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a PWM solar charge controller?
A. PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation. It regulates the charge going into your battery to prevent overcharging. It suits standard 12V lead-acid camping batteries well.
Q. Can I use this panel for camping in South Africa?
A. Yes. This kit suits South African camping conditions well. The monocrystalline cells perform in strong sunlight and partly cloudy conditions alike.
Q. How do I connect this panel to my battery?
A. Connect the panel to the PWM controller, then connect the controller to your battery. The controller regulates charge automatically. No extra wiring is needed.
Q. What is the difference between PWM and MPPT?
A. PWM is a proven, cost-effective controller suited for standard 12V lead-acid batteries. MPPT extracts more power in low light and suits lithium batteries. Need an MPPT version? See our 320W panel with MPPT controller.
Q. Does this kit work during loadshedding at home?
A. This kit charges 12V lead-acid batteries for off-grid use. It suits camping and 4×4 setups rather than home backup systems. For home backup, consider a hybrid inverter system instead.
