Compared to using multiple 100W panels, our 200 watt solar panel high-efficiency design saves installation space, requires fewer mounts and cables, and lowers your total off-grid system cost. Plus, with fewer parallel connections, you'll reduce power loss and maximize energy output!Grade A+ Cells, Up to 25% EfficiencyWith Grade A+ 9-busbar mono solar cells that pass EL testing without any cracks, our HQST 200W solar panels provide up to 25% cell conversion rate, outperforming traditional panels.Enhanced Low-Light PerformanceHQST solar panels utilize advanced PERC solar cell technology to maximize energy conversion. By reflecting unused sunlight back into the cell, PERC cells capture more light, including low-energy infrared, making them highly efficient in cloudy or low-light conditions. Built-in bypass diodes prevent overheating and ensure the panels continue performing even when partially shaded.Built to LastRated IP65 for dust and water resistance, this 200W solar panel is designed to endure dirt, splashes, and rain effortlessly. Its anti-corrosion aluminum alloy frame ensures decades of reliable outdoor performance. Engineered for extreme conditions, it withstands 2400 Pa wind pressure and 5400 Pa snow loads.Fast and Easy InstallationHQST 12V solar panel features four pre-drilled holes on the back for quick and secure mounting, perfect for RVs, camper vans, trailers, rooftops, marine, yachts, and more. It's fully compatible with HQST Z Brackets and Tilt Mounts, ensuring effortless installation every time. With an impressive 80% power output retention even after 25 years, this solar panel is a durable, long-term investment for sustainable energy.HQST 200 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar PanelBUILT-IN COMPONENTS Model: HSP200D-68AOutput Cables: 14 AWG (1.97 ft length)Cell Type: MonocrystallineIP65 Solar Connectors & Junction BoxELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS Maximum Power at STC: 200 WCell Efficiency: Up to 25%Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): 23.12 V ± 3%Short Circuit Current (Isc): 10.77 A ± 3%Optimum Operating Voltage (Vmp): 19.72 V ± 3%Optimum Operating Current (Imp): 10.26 A ± 3%Maximum System Voltage: 600 VDC ULMaximum Series Fuse Rating: 20 AMECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS Dimensions: 30.1 x 53.5 x 1.18 in/765 x 1360 x 30 mmWeight: 23.59 lbs/10.7 kgFront Glass: Low Iron-Tempered GlassFrame: Anti-Corrosion Aluminium AlloyConnectors: MC4 Solar ConnectorsFire Rating: Class CTHERMAL CHARACTERISTICS Temperature Coefficient of Pmax: -0.37%/ºCTemperature Coefficient of Voc: -0.28%/ºCTemperature Coefficient of Isc: 0.048%/ºC WARRANTY Material and Workmanship Warranty: 5 YearPerformance Warranty: 5 year / 95% output, 10 year / 90% output, 25 year / 80% output
FAQ1. How can I increase the energy output of my solar panels?
Position the solar panels to face direct sunlight without obstructions or shadows. Install at an optimal angle of 20°-45° for maximum absorption. Clean regularly to remove dust, leaves, or debris for consistent energy output.
2. How should I connect solar panels to my electrical circuit (series vs. parallel)?
Solar panels can be connected in either series or parallel, depending on your electrical circuit size and power needs. It’s best to connect panels with the same open-circuit voltage.
When connected in series, the voltage (V) increases, while the current (A) stays the same.
On the other hand, connecting panels in parallel increases the current (A), while the voltage (V) remains constant.
3. Do these panels have pre-drilled holes on the back?
Yes, they do. There are four pre-drilled holes to make installing the solar panel quick and secure.
4. Can this solar panel be used with a 12V marine battery or a 48V lithium battery?
Yes, it can. The optimal operating voltage of this 200W solar panel is 19.72V, making it suitable for charging a 12V marine battery. For a 48V lithium battery, you’ll need to connect at least three solar panels in series.
Please ensure that you connect the solar panel(s) to a charge controller that supports either a 12V or 48V system.
5. What do I need to have to complete my off-grid solar power system?
Here’s a list of all the equipment required for a functioning off-grid solar system:
Solar Panels, Solar Charge Controller, Inverter(s), Battery, Mounting and Racking System, Wiring Cables, and Fuses.
