Bluesolar 12V 115Wp monocrystalline photovoltaic panel, 4a series, 1015 x 668 x 30mm

This panel uses monocrystalline technology. Monocrystalline cells are known for their high efficiency and optimized performance, even under less direct sunlight.

The rated power of this panel is 115 Wp (Watt-peak). This power indicates the panel's maximum capacity to generate energy under standard test conditions.

The dimensions of this panel are 1015 mm in length, 668 mm in width, and 30 mm in thickness. These dimensions make it suitable for installations requiring discreet integration or in confined spaces, particularly for marine or mobile applications.

The weight of this panel is 9 kg. This characteristic is important for assessing the load on the mounting structure and facilitating handling during installation.

This panel is designed for marine and off-grid applications, such as boats, RVs, or remote sites. It is optimized for 12V systems and supports energy autonomy by maintaining the charge of service batteries.

The "Series 4a" designation refers to a specific version or generation of Victron Energy Bluesolar panels. It may indicate design features or specific improvements for this series.

Monocrystalline panels, like this one, are made from a single silicon crystal, giving them a uniform color and generally higher efficiency. Polycrystalline panels are made from multiple crystals, making them slightly less efficient but potentially more economical.

The panel features a robust 30 mm thick frame, allowing secure mounting. It is typically installed using specific brackets suited to the surface (boat deck, campervan roof) to ensure proper ventilation and optimal orientation.

Yes, it is recommended to leave space for ventilation under the panel. Good air circulation helps dissipate heat and maintain panel efficiency, as performance can decrease with increasing temperature.

To maintain optimal performance, it is advisable to regularly clean the panel surface to remove dust, salt, or debris. A simple freshwater rinse is usually sufficient.

To connect this panel to a 12V electrical system, you will need a solar charge controller (MPPT or PWM) suitable for the panel’s power output and the battery voltage, as well as appropriate solar cables and electrical protections.

No, it is not recommended to walk directly on the solar panel. Although its construction is robust, excessive pressure or impacts can damage the photovoltaic cells or the protective glass, thereby compromising its performance and durability.

To maximize energy production, the panel must be oriented to capture as much direct sunlight as possible. Generally, this means facing due south in the northern hemisphere, with an angle adjusted to the latitude and season.

This panel is designed for 12V systems and is compatible with 12V service batteries, whether lead-acid (gel, AGM) or lithium-ion, provided a suitable charge controller is used.

Yes, this panel is fully compatible with MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charge controllers. Using an MPPT controller is recommended to optimize the efficiency of your solar installation.

Yes, it is possible to connect multiple of these panels. Parallel connection increases current (amps) and total power at the same voltage, while series connection increases voltage (volts). The choice will depend on your system configuration and your charge controller.

Yes, this panel is a Victron Energy product and is designed to integrate seamlessly into a complete Victron Energy ecosystem, including charge controllers, inverters, and battery monitors from the same brand.

This panel is specifically a 12V model. For use in a 24V or 48V system, multiple panels would need to be connected in series to reach the required voltage, or a charge controller capable of handling voltage conversion would be required.

Yes, this Victron Energy solar panel comes with a manufacturer's warranty.
