MPPT
One of the most trusted manufacturers on the market, EPsolar combines reliability with performance to bring excellent value for money. The new Tracer-AN series from EPsolar builds on the great performance of the BN series whilst improving conversion efficiency and including a built-in LCD display, allowing keeping an eye on generation that much easier compared to older generations. The MT-50 display can be placed in an appropriate position to give exact read outs from the solar panels and battery health.
Mounting
This kit includes our ever popular adjustable tilt mounts - telescopic tilt legs enable adjusting of the panel angle to help your solar charging kit perform better when the sun is lower in the sky. Check out the instructions linked in the Tell Me More box above.
Connections
The 5m PV cables have been specified due to the constraints of trunking through the roof and down to the controller and batteries, but if you don't need that length, simply cut it down. If you need longer cables let us know.
NB: David at 'Cruising the Cut' did get this original kit from us back in 2015! He specified the requirements of his kit - whereas yours may differ. Space availability on narrowboats is always difficult, so please measure the space available to you. Different panels/controllers/mounts are now offered. Also, the cable lengths are adequate for his needs but you may need longer lengths if running to
