Solar Installation Essentials
The details that bring your solar setup together.
Explore the mounting parts, cable, connectors, solar controllers and protection accessories that help complete a caravan, motorhome or vehicle solar installation.
Small parts. Important choices.
A panel and controller are only part of the setup. Think through how the panel will be mounted, where the cable will enter, which connectors match, and how the circuit will be protected. Product pages show the available sizes and options.
