40W 12V solar panel with 5m cable

Unlock reliable, eco-friendly power for your adventures and remote setups with our 40W 12V Solar Panel with 5m Cable. Imagine the freedom of generating your own electricity, whether you're exploring the open road in your camper van, navigating the waters on your boat, or simply needing power for your shed or farm. This compact yet powerful panel is engineered to deliver consistent, free energy, making off-grid living simpler and more sustainable.

Built for the outdoors, this monocrystalline solar panel is incredibly efficient and fully waterproof, ready for any weather. Its innovative 5-busbar solar cells are a standout feature, designed to capture more power from sunlight compared to standard panels. This means you get excellent performance even in warmer climates, all within a smaller panel size – perfect when space is tight.

The panel comes ready to connect, featuring a generous 5-meter special solar cable. This cable is built to handle high roof temperatures without losing power, ensuring maximum energy transfer. It's pre-fitted with male and female MC4 connectors, making it simple to link up with other solar panels, your existing system, or an extension cable. If you prefer, you can easily remove the MC4 connectors to wire directly into your solar charge controller's screw terminals.

Beyond its advanced technology, this solar panel is constructed for lasting performance. Its durable, sealed aluminum frame protects the high-efficiency monocrystalline cells, guaranteeing years of steady power. The robust, waterproof design ensures reliable operation in all conditions, from sunny days to unexpected downpours.

Before you get started, please note that if you plan to charge a 12V battery, you will need a solar charge controller or regulator. We offer a wide range of suitable controllers in our online shop.
