This solar kit stands out with several key features, making it a truly unique and high-quality product:

Unmatched Durability and Portability
The entire kit is designed for the outdoors. Its completely waterproof nature, including the advanced IP67-rated solar charge controller mounted on the back, means it performs flawlessly in all weather conditions, from sunny skies to unexpected showers. The high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels are built with premium quality cells. Plus, the included protective case isn't just a simple dust cover; it's a sturdy, foam-lined shield that guards against accidental bumps and scratches to both the frame and glass. Even the panel corners are reinforced with plastic for added safety and a sleek look, significantly reducing damage risk.

Smart and Safe Battery Charging
At the heart of this kit is the advanced, fully automated 10A solar charge controller. It provides comprehensive overcharge protection for your battery, constantly monitoring its charge status every second. This intelligent controller supports various battery types, including sealed, gel, and flooded batteries, by offering specific charging parameters for peak efficiency. Utilizing advanced PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology, it significantly improves charge acceptance and extends your battery's lifespan. It can even help recover some lost battery capacity! Furthermore, its IP67 waterproof rating means it's completely sealed and absolutely safe for use in any weather, ensuring your system stays protected.

Advanced Monitoring and Control at Your Fingertips
This specific model features cutting-edge communication technology, empowering you to monitor and customize your solar charge controller's settings with ease. Choose the method that suits you best:

  • Remote Meter MT50: Connect an optional MT50 remote meter with an LCD screen. This provides real-time system performance data and allows you to manually adjust parameters and load settings. (Note: an RS485 to RJ45 cable is required).
  • Wi-Fi Module & Mobile App: Transform your controller into a Wi-Fi hotspot with an optional Wi-Fi module. Then, use the free "Solar Station Monitor" mobile app (available for Android and iOS) on your phone or tablet to monitor and adjust charging parameters remotely. (Note: an RS485 to RJ45 cable is required).
  • PC/Laptop Connection: For direct control, connect the controller to your PC or laptop using an RS485 to USB cable. The free "Solar Station Monitor" computer program (Windows-compatible) offers comprehensive monitoring and setting adjustments.

Through these versatile methods, you'll gain access to vital charging information like voltage, current (for both solar panel and load), battery state of charge, accumulated charge and discharge energy, minimum/maximum voltage, and more. You can also customize settings such as battery type and capacity, set specific charging voltages for different stages, define the duration of each charging stage, create personalized user-defined battery types, and tailor 'load' settings for devices like lights, fans, or pumps.

Ready for Immediate Use
Setting up your solar kit is incredibly simple. Just connect it to your 12V battery and position the folding panels in a well-lit area. The adjustable stand makes setup and angle optimization quick and effortless. A sturdy handle and secure latches ensure easy storage and hassle-free transport, making it the perfect companion for your adventures.
