Reviews on Maxray solar panel kits

Hi JagerBroncs

I purchased the very unit you are looking at. They offer great service, with very quick delivery. The only reason why I went for this mob, and not one of the cheaper units was from their little video demo, and it makes very clear and common sense.

These units have the regulators away from the back of the panel, while others have them mounted to the very back, and will absorb a lot of the heat, which like they say is a killer of electronics.

Very happy and works a treat.



Cheers

Some of us on the forum have bought solar panels through Bit Deals and are happy with the purchase.
Bit Deals Folding Solar Panels

The Bit Deals panels come with MPPT solar regulators which are supposedly superior to a standard panel.
I added another cable circuit bypassing the "built-in" controller, so I can connect the panel to the solar input port on my Ctek D250S Dual dc-dc charger, which also has an MPPT controller built-in.
The best place for a solar regulator or controller is at the end of a cable run, close to the battery bank being charged.
I use the original circuit when connecting the panel to the auxiliary battery in the vehicle from time to time and rely on the MPPT controller to manage the charging process.

Thread 109917 may be of some interest to you before you deal with this company.

Just make sure they use hardened glass. The cheaper ones will shatter relatively easily

also Bitdeals for me, 120W with MPPT reg, which I mounted away from panel for my boat mainly.
$180 delivered, more than happy with it and them.
Have had it over a year
