Warranty
Warranty on our plug and play solar kits is provided on a "Per Component" basis - in other words, if a part (such as a panel) fails within its respective warranty period, we will replace that part. You can see product warranties on our product pages, linked below.
Monocrystalline HPBC Solar Panels
Quality, efficient, monocrystalline, HPBC Solar panels and Junction Box certified by TUV to IEC 61215-1 and IEC 61215-2.Â
HPBC Technology generates more energy under higher temperatures and lower light compared to PERC busbar technology.
12 Volt Kits include one panel. 12 or 24 Volt Kits include two panels, ready to be wired together in series.Â
Solar Controller
The kit will come with the correctly sized Victron SmartSolar Controller which includes built-in Bluetooth, and an app for monitoring solar parameters on your phone.
You can downgrade to a Victron Bluesolar controller without Bluetooth - or you can upgrade to a higher spec controller if you want the option to upgrade in future with an additional like panel.
If you already have a controller, feel free to select the "no controller" option, and specify your controller - we will ensure the remaining kit cabling and components are compatible.
Mounting Brackets and Glands
Default option includes aluminum brackets. Can swap out for black or white ABS Brackets.
Choose a black or white IP68 cable entry gland for getting the solar cable through the roof of your caravan, camper or shed.
LUX Solar Cable and Battery Cable
We will ensure the thickness of the cable is optimal for your chosen solar panel/s and controller.
- Set of 5 metre cables pre-made with MC4 Solar Connectors, ready to plug directly into your solar panels - IP67, TUV certified. If you require longer cable between your controller and panel/s, select the 10 metre option.
- Set of 2 metre cables pre-made with battery lugs, ready to attach to your battery.
- Clenergy Cable Clips to keep your cable tidy.
At LUX Solar, we pride ourselves on proper electrical solar design, because incorrectly sized cable means lost power!
Fuse or Circuit Breaker
The kit will come with the correctly sized fuses or circuit breakers for your system.Â
If the kit includes a circuit breaker, it will come with a suitable box for mounting the circuit breakers.Â
Inverter
You can choose a Victron Phoenix Inverter to be included with your kit. We will premake the additional cable required to connect your inverter to your system.
You only need an inverter if you want your solar to run AC (household) appliances - e.g. Laptop / house toaster.
Choose the inverter size based on the highest-Watt appliance you want to run. E.g. if you want to run a 900W coffee machine, you need an at least 900W inverter. Make sure it matches your system voltage (12 or 24V)
Battery
If you require a battery, choose one of our Lithium SOK batteries to add onto your kit.
