Mobile energy generation using flexible & portable foldable solar panels
For various outdoor activities
Enertec Solar foldable panels, with their neat and compact design, are a must-have product. They are easy to pack and take with you on-the-go, ensuring that you can harness the power of the sun wherever the road takes you.
Encased in a nifty sleeve with an easy-grip handle, Enertec Solar panels can be neatly folded and carried wherever you need to go. The Enertec Solar foldable panel range features the 110W and a 130W panel, both with an included MPPT controller and remote control, as well as a cable with attached anderson plugs
As the perfect accompaniment to an outdoor trip, these handy solar panels are ideal for outdoor leisure applications, such as for 4x4 adventures, camping, overlanding, as well as for onboard marine use.
How do portable solar panels work?
The Enertec Solar foldable panels work by capturing the sun’s rays in their cells, where they are converted to useful power through their MPPT charge controller.
The MPPT, or Maximum Power Point Tracker, controller is a DC to DC (Direct Current to Direct Current) converter that optimises the compatibility between the solar panels and the connected batteries.
The controller takes the higher voltage DC output coming from the solar panels, converts it to high-frequency AC, and then changes it back down to the lower DC voltage needed to charge the batteries.
This fast and highly efficient system is compatible with both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries. Simply connect your battery to the panel via the included cable, and use the remote control to select a setting.
The operating parameters can be set by remote control. Infrared wireless communication allows for setting and reading the parameters and status of the panels and the batteries, enabling remote monitoring and communication. Choose from a range of modes, including "Normal" On Mode, Light Control + Time Control, and Charging-Only Mode.
The panels also come with a cable with attached anderson plugs, giving you everything you need to easily connect the components and start charging.
The advantages of portable solar panels
These incredible panels have multiple advantages for various applications in the outdoor leisure market.
Portable and compact
Encased in a nifty sleeve with an easy-grip handle, Enertec Solar panels can be neatly folded and carried wherever you need to go. The panels are thin and light enough to be packed in a vehicle or small space, making them a convenient travel accessory.
Highly efficient
With their highly efficient cells and MPPT controller, Enertec Solar foldable panels are highly effective at generating power off-grid. Since they are able to put in around 6-7A of current under good sunlight conditions, these panels are perfect for powering appliances and charging batteries.
Compatible with lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries
The solar panel MPPT controller has multiple stage constant voltage charging with temperature compensation for lead-acid batteries, and is able to accommodate both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries.
Cold weather compatible
Solar panels work better in cold conditions, but without a controller, most of the power generated by the cells can be lost. With charge tracking, the foldable panels are able to make the most of when sun hours are low and you need to recharge your batteries the most.
Low battery charge compatibility
With charge tracking, the solar panel MPPT controller is able to put more charge into your battery to get it from flat to charged in no time.
Long wire runs
The solar panel comes complete with an extended wire to charge your battery from a reasonable distance. The controller is able to compensate for voltage drop and power loss over a longer cable, making it the ideal setup for your convenience.
Remote control operation
Simply set the operating parameters by remote control, and choose from a range of modes. Infrared wireless communication allows for setting and reading the parameters and status of the panels and the batteries, allowing for remote monitoring and communication.
Choose from a range of modes
Modes include "Normal" On Mode, Light Control + Time Control, and Charging-Only Mode, to help you optimise your charging experience.
Built from robust, waterproof materials
The design has added material to make it sturdy and robust, especially in high heat areas. The covering is waterproof to protect your panel from outdoor conditions, giving you the peace of mind that spills won’t put a damper on your plans.
Portable Solar Panels: A life-changing opportunity for all South Africans to become self-sufficient.
Portable solar panels allow you to go the distance without being tied to the electricity grid. For overlanding, marine, and 4x4 adventures, there is no greater freedom than being able to go wherever inspiration leads. Being able to charge up your batteries and use your appliances while on-the-move gives you the power to do just that.
Not only that, but the Enertec Solar foldable panel is also a perfect back-up power source to run some essentials when load shedding hits. If you don’t have a solar installation, Enertec Solar’s portable panels provide you with the convenience of solar power without the commitment. Take your panel with you when visiting a friend or travelling, so that load shedding doesn’t interrupt your time away.
With so much versatility, the sky's the limit when it comes to powering your life. Choose the Enertec Solar foldable panel to put your journey in motion this summer.
