Xantrex 100W Solar Kit Product Description
Harness the power of the sun with the Xantrex 100W Solar Kit, a compact and efficient solution designed to keep your batteries charged during off-grid adventures. Whether you're boondocking in an RV, sailing on a boat, or powering remote setups, this plug-and-play kit delivers reliable renewable energy to extend your power independence. Its advanced mono-crystalline panels capture more sunlight in less space, making it ideal for space-conscious users who demand high performance without the bulk.
Advanced Technology for Superior Efficiency
At the heart of this kit lies cutting-edge PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact) technology paired with 5-busbar mono-crystalline cells. This combination boosts module efficiency to an impressive 17-18%, outperforming many competitors in real-world conditions. The result? More energy harvested from the same sunlight exposure, even on cloudy days or at suboptimal angles. The rigid panel's sleek design measures just 33.1 by 26.4 inches and weighs less—about 15% lighter than similar 100W panels—allowing easy mounting on roofs, rails, or flat surfaces.
Complete Kit for Effortless Setup
Everything you need arrives in one box for a frustration-free installation. The 30A PWM charge controller acts as the brain of the system, featuring a clear LCD display for real-time monitoring of voltage, current, and battery status. Multi-stage charging optimizes battery health, while built-in protections guard against overcharge, reverse polarity, and short circuits. Dual USB ports let you charge devices directly, adding versatility for camping or marine use.
- Rigid 100W solar panel with PERC cells and 5 busbars
- 30A flush-mount PWM charge controller with LCD and USB outputs
- Weatherproof PV and battery cables with integrated fuses, ring terminals, and ferrule ends
- Bracket mounts, clamps, and tie wraps for secure installation
Cables are pre-terminated for quick connections, minimizing wiring hassles and ensuring safety with inline fuses.
Real-World Applications and Benefits
This solar charging kit shines in mobile scenarios. RV enthusiasts use it to maintain house batteries during long trips, preventing deep discharges that shorten lifespan. Boaters appreciate its marine-grade durability against salt spray and vibrations. For cabins or workshops, it provides a silent backup to generators. Users report consistent 50-80W output in full sun, enough to recharge a 100Ah battery from 50% in 4-6 hours, depending on conditions. Its maintenance-free design means no moving parts to fail, just occasional panel cleaning for peak performance.
Simple Installation Steps
Get up and running in under an hour:
- Mount the panel using included brackets—angle toward the sun for best results.
- Connect PV cables from panel to controller (plug-and-play terminals).
- Link battery cables from controller to your 12V battery bank (observe polarity).
- Secure cables with clamps and power on—the LCD lights up instantly.
Bracket mounts adapt to curved surfaces like RV roofs or boat decks, and the low profile reduces wind resistance.
Expand Your System Seamlessly
Start small and scale up. Add matching panels in parallel using branch connectors for up to 400W total input on the 30A controller. This modularity suits growing needs, from weekend warriors to full-time off-gridders, without replacing core components.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes PERC technology special in the Xantrex 100W Solar Kit?
PERC technology adds a rear passivation layer to solar cells, reflecting more light back into the cell for higher efficiency—up to 18% here—compared to standard mono-crystalline panels. It excels in low-light conditions too.
What types of batteries work with this solar kit?
It's optimized for 12V flooded, AGM, gel, and lithium batteries. The PWM controller's multi-stage charging adapts to different chemistries, preventing overcharging and extending battery life.
How long does installation take for beginners?
Most users complete setup in 30-60 minutes. Pre-wired cables and intuitive brackets make it beginner-friendly—no electrical expertise required.
What daily output can I expect in average conditions?
In 4-5 peak sun hours, expect 400-500Wh daily. This powers lights, fans, and small appliances while trickle-charging batteries overnight.
Can I expand this kit later?
Yes, add parallel panels up to the 30A limit using branch connectors. It's designed for modular growth without new controllers.
How does the charge controller protect my system?
It includes safeguards like overcharge prevention, reverse current blocking, overload protection, and short-circuit detection. The LCD shows status at a glance.
Is this kit suitable for marine or RV use?
Absolutely—weather-resistant components handle vibrations, moisture, and salt exposure. Low-profile mounting fits curved surfaces perfectly.
Invest in sustainable power that pays for itself through reduced fuel use and longer battery life. Perfect for those ready to embrace solar without complexity.
Maintenance free, renewable solutions to maximize battery life and prolong power supply.
