    KickAss 12V 170W Fixed Panel, Glass Roof Top

    Bolted it to the roof rails on the Sprinter last week. It worked immediately, pushing 146 Watts into my KIckAss Power Station. Happy with the output, considering all the variables of, angle, available sunshine, conversion losses etc. etc. Like my other KickAss products, it appears to be well built, and fit for purpose.

This high-efficiency monocrystalline panel provides reliable energy for your adventure or off-grid needs. Its 20.6% conversion efficiency and durable tempered glass coating ensure consistent power generation, making it an excellent choice for powering 12V battery systems while on the move or off the grid.
Can I connect this solar panel directly to my battery, or do I need additional equipment?
You should never connect the KickAss 12V 170W Fixed Solar Panel directly to a battery. Always use a solar regulator with the correct input rating and suitable charge profile for your battery chemistry before connecting the panel to your battery. This protects your battery and optimises charging performance. Using a compatible regulator ensures safe, efficient charging and prevents damage, making your solar setup both reliable and long-lasting.
How do I install and mount the KickAss 170W solar panel on my vehicle or roof?
The KickAss 170W solar panel comes with pre-drilled mounting holes and a robust black powder-coated aluminium frame for easy, secure installation. The manual recommends using the supplied bracket assembly and following the roof rack or flat roof mounting guides to ensure the panel is firmly secured, especially against high winds. Proper installation guarantees safety and optimal panel performance during your adventures.
What safety precautions should I take when using this solar panel with lead-acid batteries?
When using the KickAss 12V 170W panel with lead-acid batteries, ensure the battery is in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources, as batteries can emit explosive gases during charging. Always connect the panel through a suitable solar regulator and follow the manual’s safety instructions to prevent sparks and injury. These built-in safety measures and recommended practices keep your system safe while delivering efficient solar power.
Is the KickAss 170W solar panel suitable for harsh outdoor conditions and varying temperatures?
Yes, the KickAss 170W solar panel is built to operate reliably between -40°C and 85°C and is rated for a maximum system voltage of 1000VDC. Its tempered glass coating and heavy-duty aluminium frame provide excellent durability and weather resistance, making it ideal for rugged outdoor use. This robust design ensures your panel performs consistently in diverse environments and weather conditions.
How should I position the KickAss 170W solar panel to get the best power output?
For optimal performance, angle the KickAss 170W solar panel between 20° and 40° facing true north in the southern hemisphere. This positioning maximises sun exposure throughout the day and across seasons, ensuring the highest total power output. Proper orientation helps you get the most from your solar panel, making your off-grid power supply more efficient and dependable.
What type of connector does this solar panel use, and is it suitable for outdoor use?
The KickAss 12V 170W Fixed Solar Panel features a waterproof PV connector with an IP67 rating. This means it is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water, making it perfectly suited for outdoor and off-grid applications. The robust connector ensures a secure, weatherproof connection for reliable power transfer in all conditions.
Can I combine this solar panel with other panels for more power, and what should I consider?
You can connect multiple KickAss solar panels of the same model in series or parallel to increase power output, provided the combined open circuit voltage does not exceed your regulator’s maximum voltage rating. Using panels of the same model ensures matched electrical characteristics, optimising performance and protecting your system. Always use cables rated for the current and voltage to maintain safety and efficiency.
