SolarFam Monocrystalline 200Wp

• 200Wp capacity: plenty of solar power from a single panel.
• Monocrystalline cells: suitable for high yields in limited space.
• High efficiency of 22%: efficient panel for campers, boats and off-grid systems.
• Black panel with aluminium frame: neat appearance and sturdy mechanical construction.
• MC4-compatible connections: easy to combine with standard solar cables and MPPT charge controllers.
• Solid module construction: aluminium frame, glass, EVA and backsheet.

Always measure your roof carefully before ordering. Take into account skylights, fans, rails, sources of shade, the location of the cable entry point and the space required for the mounting material.

For one SolarFam 200Wp panel, we recommend the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 for a standard 12V leisure battery. This MPPT charge controller is well suited to this panel, has built-in Bluetooth and can be read out via the VictronConnect app.

• Recommended for 12V: Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15.
• Bluetooth app: convenient for viewing the charge status, yield and settings via your phone.
• Suitable for multiple battery types: for example AGM, gel, lead-acid or LiFePO4.
• For 24V with one panel: do not use a standard buck MPPT, but a buck-boost MPPT such as the Western WMarine10 buck-boost MPPT 10A.

One 200Wp solar panel is a nice basis for a simple camper or boat installation. The panel can help to recharge your leisure battery while stationary and on the road.

• Campers and van conversions with limited roof space but a need for a powerful charging source.
• Basic users such as LED lighting, water pump, phone chargers and a compressor refrigerator.
• Recharging a 12V battery via a suitable MPPT charge controller.
• Charging a 24V battery can only be done with multiple panels in series or with a special buck-boost MPPT.
• Boats, garden sheds and small off-grid systems.
• Expansion of an existing installation, provided the panel voltage, charge controller and existing panels match well.

This panel is 670 mm wide. For mounting on a flat camper roof, you can use the black spoilers of 68 cm. For van conversions, we usually recommend aluminium Z-profiles, set of 6 pieces. These are often easier to place on a roof with ribs, curves or limited flat mounting surfaces.

• Flat roofs: plastic spoilers are especially suitable for flat roofs, such as with (semi)integrated campers or behind the cab of a cab-over camper.
• Panel lengthwise: if you can place the panel lengthwise on the roof, spoilers at the front and back are often a neat and aerodynamic solution.
• Van conversions: for roofs with ribs or a slight curve, aluminium Z-profiles are usually more practical than long plastic spoilers.
• Number of supports: for this 200Wp panel, we recommend the set with 6 aluminium Z-profiles.
• Degrease the roof properly and work according to the instructions of the glue, sealant and primer used.
• Use a suitable roof entry for the solar cables.
• Secure cables on the roof properly with UV-resistant adhesive pads and cable ties.
• Prevent cables from rubbing, kinking or moving loosely during driving.
• Boat: use plastic corner supports on a suitable flat deck.

• Plastic corner supports for mounting on a suitable flat boat deck
• Black spoilers 68 cm for flat roofs, or aluminium Z-profiles set of 6 pieces for van conversions and roofs with ribs/curves
• Roof entry for solar cables
• Solar cable set 4mm² to the inside
• Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 for a normal 12V battery installation
• Battery cable set 6mm² 2 × 1m with 25A fuse between MPPT and battery
• Western WMarine10 buck-boost MPPT 10A when you want to charge a 24V battery with one panel
• Battery cable set or separate battery cables between MPPT and battery, matching cable length and system voltage
• Suitable fuse on the battery side of the MPPT charge controller

• Connecting the solar panel directly to a battery without an MPPT charge controller.
• Using a charge controller that is too small or unsuitable.
• Not placing a fuse on the battery side of the charge controller.
• Mounting the panel in a place where regular shade falls from skylights, rails or other accessories.
• Using cables that are too thin or too long, causing unnecessary voltage loss.
• Leaving cables loose on the roof, with a risk of rubbing, leakage or cable breakage.
• Insufficiently sealing the roof entry or using the wrong sealant/primer for the roof material.
• Expanding an existing solar panel system without checking if the voltage and current of the panels match.

Which MPPT charge controller do you recommend for one 200Wp panel?
For one SolarFam 200Wp panel, we recommend the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 for a normal 12V battery installation. This fits well with this panel, has built-in Bluetooth and can be read out via the VictronConnect app.

Can I charge a 24V battery with one 200Wp panel?
Not with a normal MPPT charge controller. The voltage difference between one solar panel and a 24V battery is too small for that. For a 24V battery, you normally use solar panels in series, so that the input voltage of the MPPT is high enough.

What if I only have space for one 200Wp panel, but want to charge a 24V battery?
Then you can choose a special buck-boost MPPT, such as the Western WMarine10 buck-boost MPPT 10A. This charge controller can increase the voltage and thus charge a 24V battery with one panel. The controller has a physical display and is suitable for various battery types, but does not have built-in Bluetooth/app.

What is an alternative if I want around 200Wp and have a 24V battery?
Then you can also choose a bundle with 2 × 100Wp mono solar panels. If you connect those two panels in series, you have approximately the same solar power and enough voltage to charge a 24V battery via a normal MPPT without a special buck-boost charger.

Which mounting brackets or spoilers fit this panel?
Because the panel is 670 mm wide, the black spoilers of 68 cm fit well for mounting on a flat roof. For van conversions, we usually recommend the aluminium Z-profiles set of 6 pieces, because they are easier to place on roofs with ribs, curves or limited flat mounting surfaces.

Is 200Wp enough for my camper?
That depends on your consumption and travel behavior. For basic users such as lighting, water pump, phone chargers and an economical compressor refrigerator, 200Wp can be a nice basis. For high consumption, winter use or multiple days off-grid, more solar power, more battery capacity or charging via alternator/shore power is often advisable.

Can I combine this panel with other solar panels?
That is sometimes possible, but always check if the voltage, current and power match well. Combining different panels without checking can lead to yield loss or an illogical load for the charge controller.
