Peterborough Motorhomes supply a range of solar panel systems and solar power modules and can fit them too if required.
From handheld battery chargers to integrated roof mounted solar panel systems, we can advise of the most appropriate system for your needs.
Mono and Multi-crystalline Solar Modules
We can supply a range of Mono and Multi-crystalline Solar Panel Modules. All of our modules have been assembled using the highest possible construction methods. Every module has been designed in accordance with IEC 1215:1993 standards, manufactured with proven materials and tested to ensure electrical performance and service life. A bypass diode has been installed to avoid the “hot spot” effect, which would otherwise affect the efficiency of the module.
The cells are laminated between a sheet of high transmissivity, low-iron 3mm thick tempered glass, a sheet of TPT material and by two sheets of EVA to prevent moisture penetration into the module. The heavy duty anodised aluminium frame provides high wind resistance and convenient mounting access. As a result of the exceptionally high standards of construction all our solar modules are covered by a 25 Year Output warranty. This warranty states that within this period the module should produce no less than 85% of its rated output.

All premium solar panel kits come with a 2 -10 year module warranty and are supplied with cable, connections and detailed user instructions. For a simple explanation of how they work, the solar panel charges the battery of your caravan, motorhome or boat during daylight hours.

The system will work even in overcast weather conditions, both in the summer and winter months.
