Sunman eArc 175W Flexible Monocrystalline Solar Panel

eArc (pronounced e-Ark) by SunMan are the only lightweight solar panels approved for grid connect on buildings which means they have passed the same testing criteria as traditional solar panels.

Tougher, lighter, thinner and more durable

• Cutting edge technology - glass fibre-reinforced composite polymers similar to aircraft windows

• Light - 100W frameless is 1.9kg

• Thin - 2mm

• Tough - Hail tested with ice stones of 35mm diameter and 200g mass at 39.5m per sec​

• Strong - rated 2400 pascals for wind and 2400 pascals for load

• Durable - ​10 year product warranty for building and 5 years for mobile application

• Output - Efficient monocrystalline cells, 25 year performance guarantee

• The only range of lightweight solar panel with Clean Energy Council (CEC) Accreditation 

​Development of the new waterproof composite polymers and panel structure was accelerated by funding of $3.3M from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to achieve the same durability as conventional solar panels.

eArche panels have been installed on the world’s first solar powered train in Byron Bay and 812 (235kW) panels have been installed onto the Sydney Maritime Museum’s Heritage Building which could not support heavy glass framed solar panels.  To date more than 1MW of eArche capacity has been installed in Australia

eArche has obtained a series of other certifications for reliability, including: 

A robust, lightweight, flexible solar panel that is perfect for caravans, motorhomes, boats, golf carts, trains, buses and other applications. 

Vented Gap Kits

The Vented Gap Kit (VGK) allows for air-flow underneath the panel from any direction.  The kit lifts the panel approx 15mm.

Victron SmartSolar 100/30 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller

Bluetooth Smart built-in

The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar Charge Controllers

VE.Direct

For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices

Ultrafast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers

Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions

If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may be present on the power-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP. The innovative BlueSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.

Outstanding conversion efficiency

No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%. The full output current up to 40°C (104°F).

Flexible charge algorithm

Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on our website), and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details).

Extensive electronic protection

Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high. PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection. PV reverse current protection.

Internal temperature sensor

Compensates absorption and float charge voltage for temperature.

Optional external battery voltage and temperature sensing via Bluetooth

A Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers.

These kits are perfect for upgrading a pop-top caravan like a Jayco Expanda to be off-grid.
