3 x BC Solar panel 120Wp Black (360Wp)

• 360Wp total power: composed of 3 identical SolarFam BC 120Wp black solar panels.
• Back-contact cells: no visible busbars on the front, for a clean and sleek appearance.
• Compact per panel: 1050 × 580 mm, often well-suited for campervans and smaller camper roofs.
• Bundle discount: more cost-effective than purchasing the same panels separately.
• More yield than a small basic set, without needing to go for large, wide panels.
• MC4 connection: standard solar panel connectors, easy to combine with solar cables and MPPT controllers.

Tip: always measure your camper roof carefully beforehand. Take into account roof hatches, fans, roof rails, shadows from accessories, and the location of the cable entry. Also, measure the required space for mounting material. Roof brackets or spoilers often protrude slightly beyond the panel, and the required space depends on the chosen mounting method.

Three solar panels can be connected in series or parallel. The best choice mainly depends on the position of the panels on the roof, the likelihood of shade, cable length, and the chosen MPPT charge controller.

Usually in series for panels next to each other
Are the three panels directly next to each other and do they almost always have the same light conditions? Then series connection is usually the most logical choice. You connect the positive cable of one panel to the negative cable of the next panel. The two remaining cables go through one solar cable set indoors, towards the MPPT charge controller.

• Advantage: higher voltage towards the MPPT and less current through the solar cables.
• You still only need 1 solar cable set for the indoor cables.
• Suitable when all panels receive almost the same sunlight.
• Also logical for a 24V battery installation, as the panel voltage must then be sufficiently high.

Parallel for risk of uneven shade
Do you expect one or two panels to be regularly in the shade while the other panels are still in full sun? Then parallel connection might be better. This is more common when the panels are not directly next to each other or when roof hatches, fans, rails, or other accessories can cast shade.

• For parallel connection, you connect the positive cables of the three panels to each other and the negative cables of the three panels to each other.
• For this, you use MC4 parallel connectors 3-in-1.
• Are the panels further apart? Then extra solar cable on the roof is often needed.
• In parallel, more current flows through the solar cables. Therefore, consider cable diameter and cable length.

For this bundle of 3 × 120Wp, there are several good MPPT choices. Which charge controller fits best depends on your budget, battery type, system requirements, and whether app monitoring is important to you.

• Affordable with display: the EpEver MPPT Xtra 100/30. This has a screen where you can directly read data, but no built-in Bluetooth/app.
• With trickle charge for starter battery: the EpEver MPPT DuoRacer 100/30. This can provide a trickle charge / maintenance charge to the starter battery in addition to the household battery. This also has a display, but no built-in app.
• With Bluetooth app and amply sized: the Faraday SmartSolar MPPT 100/40. This is suitable for up to 520Wp at 12V, has a favorable price, and is more than sufficient for this 360Wp bundle. This is also a logical choice if you might want more solar power later or want to use the same controller with a larger set.
• VictronConnect and Victron systems: the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30. With a maximum of 440Wp at 12V, this fits well with this 360Wp bundle and is logical if you use VictronConnect or other Victron components.

With 360Wp of solar power, more current flows on the battery side of the charge controller than with a small basic set. Therefore, use a battery connection that matches the chosen MPPT, cable length, and your battery installation.

• In a 12V system with a 30A charge controller, you usually use 10mm² battery cable for short distances.
• If the charge controller is further from the battery, 16mm² battery cable is often more sensible.
• Place an appropriate fuse as close as possible to the positive terminal of the battery.
• For a 30A charge controller, a 40A MIDI fuse with MIDI fuse holder is usually appropriate.
• Use appropriate crimp terminals for the fuse holder, MPPT, and battery connection.

Do you want less or more solar power? This BC 120Wp panel is available as a loose panel and as a bundle with multiple panels. Bundle discount applies when purchasing multiple panels simultaneously.

• 1 × BC Solar Panel 120Wp Black – 120Wp
• 2 × BC Solar Panel 120Wp Black – 240Wp total
• 3 × BC Solar Panel 120Wp Black – 360Wp total
• 4 × BC Solar Panel 120Wp Black – 480Wp total

This 360Wp bundle is suitable for permanent mounting on campers and campervans where you want to build up a significant amount of solar power with three compact black BC glass panels.

• With 360Wp, you reach a practical range for many camper installations.
• Suitable as a charging source for installations with a compressor refrigerator, LED lighting, water pump, fan, and charging phones or laptops.
• Recharging a 12V battery bank via a suitable MPPT charge controller.
• Also applicable to a 24V battery installation when the panels are connected appropriately and the MPPT is correctly configured.
• Flexible roof layout with three compact panels instead of one large panel.
• Suitable as part of a complete off-grid system with battery, MPPT, alternator charger, and/or shore power charger.

These panels are usually mounted with aluminum roof brackets or spoilers. Ensure strong mechanical mounting, good sealing, and a neat cable route indoors.

• Campervan: preferably use aluminum Z-profiles on a ribbed or slightly curved metal roof.
• Flat camper roof: use 55 cm spoilers and preferably place the panels lengthwise.
• Boat: use plastic corner brackets on a suitable flat deck.
• Thoroughly degrease the roof and follow the instructions for the adhesive, sealant, and primer used.
• Use a suitable roof entry for the solar cables.
• Secure cables on the roof firmly with UV-resistant adhesive mounts and cable ties.
• Prevent cables from rubbing, kinking, or moving loosely while driving.

• Mounting: aluminum Z-profiles for a campervan, 55 cm spoilers for a flat camper roof, or plastic corner brackets for a boat.
• Roof entry for solar cables
• Solar cable set 4mm² indoors
• EpEver MPPT Xtra 100/30, EpEver MPPT DuoRacer 100/30 or Faraday SmartSolar MPPT 100/40
• Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 as VictronConnect alternative for this 360Wp bundle
• MC4 parallel connectors 3-in-1, only needed when connecting the panels in parallel
• Battery cable 10mm² or 16mm², depending on cable length and chosen charge controller
• 40A MIDI fuse + MIDI fuse holder for a 30A charge controller
• Crimp terminals suitable for fuse holder, MPPT, and battery connection

• Connecting solar panels directly to a battery without a charge controller.
• Connecting three panels in series when one panel regularly receives shade and the others do not.
• Connecting in parallel without the correct MC4 parallel connectors and without accounting for extra current through the cables.
• Using an MPPT that is too small or unsuitable for 360Wp solar power.
• For a 100V MPPT controller, not checking if the maximum input voltage is compatible with three panels in series.
• Using too light a battery cable between the MPPT and the battery.
• Not installing a fuse close to the battery on the positive side of the MPPT connection.
• Combining panels with different voltages or wattages without checking specifications.
• Leaving cables loose on the roof, risking chafing, leaks, or cable breakage.
