Power your campervan conversion with reliable 175W of free, silent off-grid energy — sized to fit narrower van roofs where a 200W panel won't.

Benefits:
• Generates free off-grid power anywhere you park — no noise, no fumes, no campground fees.
• Compact 1324mm length — fits alongside a roof vent on most medium-wheelbase vans.
• High-efficiency monocrystalline cells keep producing even under NZ's cloudy skies.
• Anodised aluminium frame and tempered glass shrug off coastal wind, hail and road vibration.
• Plug-and-play 0.9m cable with MC4 connectors — simple to wire into your charge controller.
• Keeps the fridge cold, lights on and devices charged for days off-grid.

Features:
Monocrystalline 12V panel rated at 175W with a maximum power voltage of 18.7V and current of 9.36A, achieving module efficiency up to 16%. The anodised aluminium frame, tempered glass, EVA and TPT backing are built for the severest conditions, with excellent low-light performance. Dimensions 1324 x 676 x 35mm. Pair with an MPPT controller, roof mounting brackets and a cable entry gland for a complete install.

For maximum output from a single panel, step up to the 200W version — only 158mm longer.

Complete your solar setup with the Projecta PM335C 30A charging system and a Projecta 400Ah Lithium battery.

People are asking

Will this panel keep my fridge running?

For most builds, yes. A typical 12V compressor fridge draws around 30-45Ah per day, and a panel this size paired with a decent battery will comfortably cover that plus lights and USB charging in spring through autumn. For full-time off-grid living or running larger loads, consider adding a second panel.

What else do I need to install this panel?

Three things: a solar charge controller (MPPT recommended) sized for the panel's output, mounting brackets to fix it to the roof, and a waterproof cable entry gland to bring the cable inside. The panel comes with a 0.9m cable ending in MC4 connectors, so grab MC4 extensions if your controller is further from the roof entry.

Can I add a second panel later?

Yes - panels of the same model can be wired in parallel to keep the system at 12V, or in series for higher voltage into an MPPT controller. Just make sure your charge controller has the capacity for the combined output before adding panels, and ideally pair identical panels for best performance.
