Off-Grid Solar Panels UK

Solar Panels for Off-Grid and Battery Charging Systems

Our off-grid solar panels are designed for applications where solar energy is used to charge batteries and provide power away from a conventional mains electricity supply.

The range includes both rigid-frame and semi-flexible solar panels, with different wattages available to suit smaller solar battery systems, mobile applications and remote installations.

These panels can be used as part of an off-grid solar system for applications including caravans, boats, cabins, remote buildings, workshops and other locations where independent solar power is required.

Available Off-Grid Solar Panel Options

Choose from the following panel options:

Semi-Flexible Solar Panels

• 100W semi-flexible solar panel
• 150W semi-flexible solar panel
• 200W semi-flexible solar panel

Rigid-Frame Solar Panels

• 115W rigid-frame solar panel
• 140W rigid-frame solar panel
• 175W rigid-frame solar panel

Select the required panel from the product options above.

Semi-Flexible Solar Panels

Semi-flexible solar panels can be particularly useful where a lightweight or low-profile solar panel is required.

They are suitable for applications where a conventional rigid-frame panel may not be the preferred option, including certain mobile and off-grid solar installations.

Depending on the application, semi-flexible panels can be considered for:

• Caravans
• Motorhomes
• Boats
• Cabins
• Mobile solar systems
• Small battery charging systems
• Remote installations

Always check the panel dimensions, electrical specifications and mounting requirements before ordering.

Rigid-Frame Off-Grid Solar Panels

Rigid-frame solar panels provide a conventional panel format for fixed solar installations.

Our available options include 115W, 140W and 175W panels, making them suitable for smaller off-grid solar systems where a fixed panel installation is preferred.

Rigid panels can be incorporated into systems used for:

• Off-grid cabins
• Remote buildings
• Workshops
• Battery charging
• Small solar power systems
• Caravan and leisure applications
• Standalone renewable energy systems

The number of panels required will depend on the battery voltage, battery capacity, daily energy requirements and available solar generation.

Choosing the Correct Off-Grid Solar Panel

When selecting an off-grid solar panel, consider the complete system rather than the panel wattage alone.

Important factors include:

• Required battery voltage
• Battery capacity
• Daily electricity consumption
• Available sunlight
• Required charging rate
• Panel wattage
• Available installation area
• Panel dimensions
• Semi-flexible or rigid construction
• Charge controller compatibility

The solar panel should be correctly matched to the battery, solar charge controller and inverter used in the system.

If you are unsure which panel configuration is appropriate for your project, contact us before ordering and we can help you identify suitable equipment.

Off-Grid Solar Panels for Battery Charging

These panels can form part of a complete battery-based solar system.

A typical off-grid system can include:

Solar panel → charge controller → battery → inverter → electrical loads

The solar panel generates DC electricity, which is regulated by the charge controller before being supplied to the battery.

Where 230V AC equipment is required, a suitable inverter can convert stored battery power into usable AC electricity.

For suitable charge controllers, see our Off-Grid Solar Charge Controllers.

For battery storage, see our Off-Grid Solar Batteries.

For converting battery power into 230V AC electricity, see our Off-Grid Inverters.

Complete Your Off-Grid Solar System

These solar panels can be combined with other equipment to create a complete off-grid solar power system.

Off-Grid Solar Batteries – Battery storage for suitable standalone solar systems.

Off-Grid Solar Charge Controllers – PWM and MPPT charge controllers for managing solar battery charging.

Off-Grid Accessories – Switches, cables, fuses and other off-grid system components.

Off-Grid Inverters – Inverters for converting stored battery DC power into 230V AC electricity.

Victron Energy EasySolar Systems – Integrated inverter/charger systems for off-grid solar and battery applications.

Mobile Off-Grid Power Unit – Portable battery power equipment for mobile and remote applications.

For a complete overview of off-grid solar equipment, see our Off-Grid Solar Systems.

Solar Panels for Caravans and Mobile Applications

Smaller solar panels can be useful for caravan, motorhome and mobile solar systems, particularly where available roof or mounting space is limited.

Where a low-profile solution is required, the semi-flexible panel options may be worth considering.

For suitable mounting equipment, see our Caravan Solar Mounting Brackets.

Off-Grid Solar Panels and Battery Storage

The correct relationship between panel output, battery capacity and charge controller is important when designing an off-grid system.

A solar panel with a higher wattage can provide more potential charging power, but the overall system must still be correctly matched.

For customers looking to build a complete battery-based system, our Small Off-Grid Solar System provides another option for smaller solar energy requirements.

For larger systems, see our Off-Grid Solar Equipment.
