Sunforce 37002 20 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel

Made with high efficiency monocrystalline solar cells, the Sunforce 20 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel is a high efficiency 12 Volt battery charging solar panel. This unit is ideal for trucks, boats, 12 Volt battery charging and more. Easy to install and completely maintenance-free, this solar panel includes an aluminum frame for extended outdoor use and a bypass diode that minimizes the power drop caused by shade. This panel is also weatherproof for added durability. Multiple panels can be connected together to gain more power. This panel comes with a 25-year limited warranty.

Sunforce Solar Panels are effective in areas of both high and lower sun exposure, making them ideal for use in the United States

About Monocrystalline Solar Power

Monocrystalline silicon is a material consisting of thin wafers that are cut from a silicon crystal which has grown in several directions. This advanced surface texturing process provides monocrystalline solar panels with a higher power output than amorphous panels of the same dimensions, and makes them more cost and space-effective. These individual wafers are assembled into panels that are covered by durable, weatherproof tempered glass. As a result of their efficiency and durability, these solar panels require virtually no maintenance once installed.

Sunforce monocrystalline panels convert sunlight into an electric current; they do not actually store power. These panels are primarily used to recharge all types of 12 Volt batteries, including lead-acid automotive batteries, deep-cycle (traction type) batteries, gel-cell batteries, and heavy-duty (stationary type) batteries. When using these solar panels to run appliances on a regular basis, the use of deep-cycle marine batteries is recommended. This type of battery is designed to withstand the frequent charge and discharge cycles associated with solar panel use.
