CAN THE SOLAR PANEL BE MOUNTED ON A FLAT ROOF OR WALL?

Can the solar panel be mounted on a flat roof or wall?
Yes. It is fine to mount the panel on a horizontal surface such as a roof or on a vertical surface like a wall as long as the panel receives full sun for a reasonable period of the day. You will get better performance if the panel is tilted toward the sun and faced in a northerly direction, since this enables the maximum amount of solar energy to reach the panel.

WHAT CURRENT OUTPUT CAN I EXPECT?

What current output can I expect?
The current output (mA) of the solar panel is based mostly on the available solar energy (sun rays). The current ratings (Peak Power) given in the specifications are based on ‘ideal’ sunlight conditions. In reality, this may be achieved only on a very bright sunny day. The normal output will therefore be a little lower. If the panel is shaded or it is a very hot day, the output will decrease further.

WILL IT CHARGE MY FLAT BATTERY AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

Will it charge my flat battery and how long will it take?
The SPM80K will charge a flat battery (above 9V) 250–900CCA (Automotive) with a charge time of 7–35 hours. The SPM120K will charge a flat battery (above 9V) 250–1200CCA (Automotive) with a charge time of 7–35 hours.

I AM GOING ON A 4WD TRIP, WILL 80 WATTS OR 120 WATTS BE ENOUGH?

I am going on a 4WD trip, will 80 Watts or 120 Watts be enough?
It really depends on how many appliances are drawing power from your battery.

Most people when they go away would run a fridge and a couple of lights to cook with etc. We need to work out how much power would be used in a day.

Energy consumption per day
If we say we get around 10 hours of solar energy from the panels per day (for summer months), we can then calculate what size and how many panels we need.

45 amps ÷ 10 hours = 4.5 Amps per hour
