Solar is a great alternative.
The 250 watt solar panel generates cheap solar energy. Use it for on-grid situations or to power your off-grid installation.
The Renogy 250 watt monocrystalline solar panel will be the key element to use.
This is a versatile panel with endless system possibilities.
The panel comes with pre-drilled holes at the back to ensure fast and secure mounting.
The modules are compatible with off-grid as well as on-grid inverters.
The panels come with two stranded, PV rated, output MC4 cables. The positive is a male connector and the negative is a female connector.
The male and female connectors are for series connections.
When doing parallel connections use the branch connectors.
You can use the modules in portrait or landscape orientation.
The output voltage is 24V.
The power output is 250 Watt.
It comes with an IP67 rated waterproof junction box.
The box is durable and will last for many years. It provides complete protection against harsh weather conditions.
The junction box contains bypass diodes. Pre-installed by-pass diodes cut power drop caused by shade. This ensures excellent performance in low-light environments.
The panels are quite bulky (64.5 x 39 inches) and heavy. (40 pounds)
It is important to keep the connectors dry and clean. Be sure to seal the caps before connecting the modules.
When the panels become too hot it tends to give a reduced output. It will be a good idea to set it up on a white surface. It will be better to use Z-brackets that allow for airflow underneath the panel once mounted.
It is thus advisable to buy a set of Z- brackets.
It is best to keep the panel covered while installing. This will prevent the generation of electricity while you work on the system.
All electrical contacts should be clean and dry.
Take care not to use sharp instruments on the modules. The back sheet is very sensitive.
Avoid trees, buildings, or any other obstructions when installing the modules.
