5W 12V Photonic Universe Solar Panel kit with 5A Charge Controller and Battery Cables for a Camper, Caravan, Boat or Any Other 12V System (5 watt)

It is a lot of kit for the money. Currently have it connected to my caravan battery. It appears to be keeping it fully charged. I have removed it from my caravan and have it set up in my conservatory, which is exactly the reason I bought it for. Will use it to keep battery topped up between trips. It arrived promptly, well packaged with comprehensive and clear instructions.

Really good solar panel.

not used it yet but it looks well made, checked it produces electricity which it does so should be ok for what I need

Bought this to maintain a battery on a car on a SORN. First, I connected it to a spare battery in the garage and placed the solar panel in a South -facing window. In only a few days, the battery was fully-charged, in spite of it being November, short days with little sun.I like the control unit as it does handle it's duties well, and the 'load' facility is a bonus. I connected a 12v LED lamp to test it out, and this could be a useful feature in the event of a power failure, etc.Pleased I bought this one; if nothing else, it's eco-friendly, free battery charging!

thankyou

Disappointed with the quality. The frame is like a cheap picture frame with no mounting points (others have suction cups).The power is low and did not charge when used inside car, tried windows and sun roof. Did charge when left outside but not what I wanted.

I was quite excited when I received this kit, everything was well made and the manual was well written. After attaching to my car battery I noticed two of the led's were very bright. I measured the quiescent current (the energy the controller uses just by being plugged in) 6 milliamps. So over a 24 hour period that is 144 milliamp hours.On a wintry day, even when the panels are south facing, the panels can produce less than this, so overall the kit is a net drain on my car battery.I suspected this is entirely due to the unnecessarily bright led for the load and pv on the controllers. If the controller had been made with lower output leds this problem would not occur and the drain would be much less.I just ended up plugging the solar panel directly into the battery and throwing the charge controller away, because its a flooded lead acid battery I don't have to worry about overcharging in the summer months so long as I remember to top up the battery water once or twice a year ( It's a good thing to anyway).So overall a frustrating experience, everything feels well made, just let down by a bad design with the superbright leds on the controller :(

Used for keeping my caravan battery topped up without connection to mains power. Simple to install, indicates by red lights the state of charge of the battery and works even on the dullest days. Plenty of cable between the solar panel and the controller and the battery clips.
