Car & 4×4 Solar Panels
Attaching a solar panel to your vehicle—whether it’s a 4×4, car, or camper—is becoming increasingly popular. Here’s how it works:
Installation Options:
- Fixed Mounting: You can bolt solar panels directly onto your vehicle’s roof racks. This permanent setup ensures consistent power generation. Check out our Solar Panel for 12V Charging
- Portable Use: Alternatively, consider folding or portable solar panels. These come with a regulator and battery leads already attached, making them ready to use straight out of the box. Have a look at our Portable Solar Panel Kits
Regulators and Charging:
- Waterproof Regulator: Attach it to the rear of the solar panel. It regulates the charging process and ensures efficient power transfer. View our Waterproof Solar Controller / Regulators
- Non-Waterproof Regulator: You can mount this type inside the vehicle. Choose from standard or LCD regulators. Check out our Solar Controller / Regulators Range
Battery Charging:
Solar panels can charge:
- Auxiliary Batteries: Extend your power capacity for accessories like fridges.
- Start Batteries: Keep your vehicle’s main battery topped up.
- Both Batteries: Some setups allow charging both simultaneously.
