Xantrex 160W Solar Kit

Unlock Reliable Off-Grid Power with Advanced Solar Technology

Imagine powering your adventures without relying on shore power or generators. This complete solar solution delivers robust 160 watts of clean energy using cutting-edge PERC mono-crystalline cells and five-busbar design for superior efficiency. Whether you're outfitting an RV for cross-country trips, a boat for weekend getaways, or a remote cabin for self-sufficiency, this kit transforms sunlight into dependable battery charging power.

What sets it apart? The panels pack 18% module efficiency—top-tier performance that squeezes more energy from every ray compared to typical setups. They're also remarkably compact and lightweight, shaving off 15% in size and weight versus equivalent competitors, making rooftop or ground mounts a breeze.

Key Components for Seamless Performance

Every element is thoughtfully engineered for plug-and-play simplicity, minimizing wiring headaches and maximizing uptime.

• High-Efficiency Solar Panel: 160W output with PERC technology boosts cell performance by reducing energy loss at the rear contact, paired with five busbars for enhanced current flow, durability, and shade tolerance.
• Smart 30A PWM Charge Controller: Flush-mount design with an intuitive LCD display shows real-time stats like voltage, current, and battery status. Multi-stage charging optimizes battery life, while built-in protections guard against overcharge, reverse polarity, and short circuits. Dual USB ports keep devices powered on the go.
• Pre-Wired Cables: Weatherproof PV and battery leads come ready-to-connect with integrated fuses, ring terminals, and ferrule ends—no crimping or soldering required. This setup ensures safe, reliable links from panel to controller to battery.
• Complete Mounting Kit: Brackets, clamps, and ties secure panels firmly on curved roofs or flat surfaces, resisting wind and vibration.

A five-year warranty backs the whole system, giving you peace of mind for years of reliable service.

Effortless Installation Tailored for Real-World Use

Designed by solar experts who understand mobile lifestyles, setup takes under an hour for most users. Start by securing the brackets to your surface—adjustable for angles up to 45 degrees to capture peak sun. Connect the PV cable from panel to controller (polarity-proofed for safety), then run the fused battery cable to your 12V deep-cycle or lithium bank. The controller's flush mount tucks neatly out of sight.

Pro tip: Position panels south-facing in the northern hemisphere for optimal yield. In partial shade scenarios, the multi-busbar tech minimizes output drops, outperforming basic panels.

Versatile Applications for Everyday Energy Independence

This kit shines in demanding environments:

• RV and Van Life: Run fridge, lights, and fans off-grid for days, extending boondocking time.
• Marine and Off-Road: Salt- and vibration-resistant for boats, trailers, or overland rigs.
• Cabins and Workshops: Silent backup for tools, pumps, or security systems.
• Expandability: Stack with matching add-ons to scale up to hundreds of watts, future-proofing your setup.

Users report harvesting 600-800Wh daily in sunny conditions, enough to recharge a 100Ah battery from 50% in 4-5 hours—real power for real freedom.

Maintenance Tips to Maximize Longevity

Keep it performing like new with minimal effort:

• Clean panels monthly with soft microfiber and water to remove dust or pollen.
• Monitor the LCD for early alerts on battery health.
• Check cable connections seasonally for corrosion, especially in coastal areas.
• Pair with quality AGM, gel, or lithium batteries for best results—avoid flooded lead-acids in mobile apps.

With PERC cells' inherent durability, expect 25+ years of production at 80% capacity.
