Solar panel for hood, 12V, for various vehicles
Solar panel for bonnet Next generation solar cells are increasingly integrated into structural components. Instead of separate, awkwardly mounted modules on the roof of a house, for example, the roof tiles themselves function as solar panels. Our PV modules for the hoods of 4x4s and vans follow this principle. While they do not yet replace the hood, they are so thin (only 3 mm) and so flexible that they precisely fit the shape of the hood – making them hard to recognize as an extra add-on. In addition, they are also extremely aerodynamic and robust enough to even step on them if needed. The hood modules for Defenders Td5 and Td4, New Defender, Jimny 2, Mercedes G-Class and Sprinter have an output of between 75 and 90 W at 12 V, depending on the model. Your only requirement is sufficient sunlight to generate enough power for the primary and secondary batteries in the car during the day. This in turn enables you to reliably operate all the devices needed in a camper or expedition vehicle: navigation and communication devices, laptop, cooking equipment, refrigerator and much more. Your equipment always remains fully functional and a sufficient charge of the starter battery is also guaranteed. Mounting the PV module and wiring it up to the batteries in the vehicle are equally easy DIY jobs. The included adhesive tape is all you need to attach the panel to the hood while the intelligent charge controller and the adapter allow for plug & play electric installation. Note: as the connection is individual, the power cables may have to be extended.

The display values ​​can be individually reset to "zero" at any time for your own statistical purposes: Are the solar modules shaded or dirty or is something wrong? How much energy does my solar system actually deliver?In order to be able to answer these questions, VOTRONIC offers the LCD solar computer S, which is simply connected to the VOTRONIC solar charge controller of the SR and MPP series and immediately provides the required information. It is also possible to connect the LCD solar computer S to the controller at a later date, since the VOTRONIC solar charge controller already has are ready to plug in and provide the required signals. The connection is therefore kept extremely simple. The measured values ​​are clear and easy to use at the push of a button for better control and use of the solar system shown on the display. The display is backlit (switchable) and also from greater distances and very easy to read under lighting conditions. The LCD solar computer S is designed as a panel version to match the VOTRONIC module system and is both optically and also mechanically (uniform height 85 mm) to the other display modules. Small front panel dimensions and the particularly small installation depth of just 22 mm allows installation at almost any point. If the device is not installed countersunk, stands a corresponding add-on housing is available in our range of accessories.

Votronic Solar charge controller with 250 Wp or 430 Wp module output
Please note that the solar charge controller can only be used with solar panels up to the maximum power rating (Wp) and below the maximum allowable voltage (Voc) may be used. The controller is not intended for an input-side connection (+/- solar panels) of wind, water, fuel or motor generators, power supplies, batteries or other power sources. The MPP solar controller for high-quality motorhomes, caravans and boats. Votronic solar controllers of the "MPP" series (Maximum Power Point) with “IU1oU2” charging characteristics are connected as a link between the solar panel (s) and the battery (s). With MPP technology, the controller automatically determines the maximum power output (MPP) several times per second the solar modules. The excess voltage of the solar module is transformed to a higher charging current for the battery, (realized by high-frequency switching regulator technology with high efficiency). The gain in charging current is used for shorter Charging times taken care of and for the best possible use of the solar system. The MPP solar controllers work fully automatically, are maintenance-free and offer the following functions: MPP charging current increase compared to conventional controllers through the use of the latest controller technology (microprocessor) by 10% to 30% (efficiency> 95%). The performance plus is particularly evident in the cooler seasons and z. B. in high fog, lower and diffuse lighting (overwintering). For charging lead-gel, lead-AGM, lead-acid batteries or LiFePO4 complete batteries (with integrated BMS, Balancing, safety circuit and approval!) Of the specified nominal voltages and the additional supply of an Consumers connected to these batteries in permanently installed systems with the specified battery capacities and charging programs. The charging voltage is free of peaks and regulated in such a way that overcharging of the batteries is impossible. Two battery charging outputs: Automatic charging of the main supply board battery (BORD I) as well as support charging and charge retention (max. 1 A) of the vehicle starter battery (Start II) with protection against overcharging. Monitoring-free charging: standard protection against overload, overheating, polarity reversal and battery back-discharge (with insufficient solar power z. B. twilight, at night etc.). Parallel / buffer operation: compliance with the charging regulations even when consumers are operating at the same time. Overcharge protection: regulates the charging current of the battery when there is too much solar power and the battery is full, ensures Power consumption through immediate recharging for the highest possible battery charge. "IU1oU2" charging characteristic: Defined charging voltage increase (U1) prevents harmful acid layers (lead) and ensures equalization charging of the individual battery cells (lead and lith.), then automatic maintenance charging (U2). Charging cable compensation: voltage losses on the charging cables are automatically compensated. On-board network filter: problem-free parallel operation with wind and motor generators, network chargers, alternators, etc. Measurement output for EBL, possibly existing electroblock in the living area of ​​the vehicle: Enables the convenient use of a (Solar) power display built into the electroblock to control the solar system. Please check in advance the compatibility of your Schaudt electroblock (EBL) and the corresponding control and scoreboard, as we cannot guarantee this. Switching output "AES" (only MPP 250, MPP 350 and MPP 430): causes permanent abundant solar The automatic switching of refrigerators with "AES" (Automatic Energy Selector, Electrolux / Dometic) from gas to 12 V operation. Connection for battery temperature sensor (item no. 2001): With lead batteries, the adjustment takes place automatically the charging voltage to the battery temperature, causes a better full charge of the weaker battery in the cold, In summer temperatures, unnecessary battery gassing and stress is avoided. LiFePO4 batteries: battery protection at high and especially at low temperatures. If the battery temperature can drop below 0 ° C during operation.
