…..An affordable range of solar panels to save your batteries from deep discharge!

Keep batteries topped up!
Flat batteries are at best a nuisance and at worst a hazard but can be easily avoided by using the abundant and natural power of the sun. Solar energy gives you the convenience of power being available for engine starting, lighting and other low energy appliances. Once installed the photovoltaic (solar) panel works quietly and efficiently at recharging without any effort on your part and now with Marlec’s new Spectra range, choosing solar power doesn’t have to be the expensive option.

Spectra solar panels are ideal for maintaining and replacing natural discharge in 12V deep cycle batteries in leisure applications. In wintertime you can avoid the trouble of taking batteries home for topping up by installing one of the Spectra range of 5Watt, 10Watt or 20Watt solar panels. In the UK we recommend a minimum ratio of a 10W solar panel to a 100Ah battery, daily this would generate up to 3Ah per day in summertime. This can accumulate up to a potential of 21Ah weekly, typically enough for a summer weekend’s cruising needs for basic lighting etc. Most importantly you’ll arrive to a battery that is not flat!

Spectra Product Range and Specification
For larger batteries simply scale up on the same basis, ie 20W for 200Ah as a minimum. For faster replenishment of the battery in applications where there is greater power consumption use larger or multiple solar panels than the minimum recommended
