Suntech 30Watt 12Volt Multi Crystalline Solar Module

The STP030-12 is a 30 watt, 12 volt solar panel, and will provide enough power to trickle charge a 12V vehicle or deep cycle battery. Helps run pumps, lights, fans, and small appliances such as stereos, televisions and VCRs in caravans, boats or cabins.

The STP030-12 modules are composed of 36 multi-crystalline silicon solar cells of similar performance, interconnected in series to obtain the 12 volt output.

A heavy-duty anodized aluminium frame provides strength and convenient mounting access. For each 18 cells series strings, one bypass diode is installed. Cells are laminated between high transitivity, low-iron, 3mm tempered glass and sheet of tedlar-polyeaster-tedlar 'TPT' material by two sheets of ethylene Vinyl acetate 'EVA'. This protects against moisture penetrating into the module.

Suntech Solar Module Design Features

  • High efficiency
  • Nominal 12 V DC for standard output

Morningstar Sunguard Advantages

SunGuard’s PWM charging compared to On-Off solar regulators:

  • Typically 30% more solar energy into the battery per day.
  • Average battery State-of-Charge is 90 - 95% compared to 55 - 60% for On-Off regulators.

What is PWM ?
Pulse Width Modulation "PWM" is the most effective means to achieve constant voltage battery charging by switching the solar system controller’s power devices. When in PWM regulation, the current from the solar array tapers according to the battery’s condition and recharging needs.
