Convenient Power That Helps You Save Money and Protect the Environment
The Sunforce 50044 60-Watt Solar Charging Kit lets you harness the power of the sun, the most powerful and plentiful source of energy available to us. This inexhaustible supply of power is freely available wherever the sun shines, and gives users the freedom to power their homes, RVs, boats, batteries, and electronic equipment far from civilization or right in town. Solar power can help cut your energy bills by reducing your dependence on the main electrical grid, and can also provide back-up power during outages. Unlike nuclear and fossil fuels, solar power systems are clean and pollution-free, and they require very little maintenance to operate.
 Sunforce Solar Panels are effective in areas of both high and lower sun exposure, making them ideal for use in the United States. View Larger |

About Amorphous Solar Power
Amorphous solar panels are created by spraying silicon on to glass in very thin layers, and are commonly known as thin film solar panels. This process allows them to be better at generating electricity in all lighting conditions, including cloudy or shady environments. Sunforce amorphous solar panels are weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use. They have a maximum operating temperature range of -40 to 176-degrees Fahrenheit, require virtually no maintenance, and are also effective on cloudy days. They can even withstand impacts from one-inch hailstones at 50 miles-per-hour.
Solar panels convert sunlight into an electric current, they do not store power. Sunforce Solar Charging Kits are primarily used to recharge 12-Volt batteries (not included), which store and provide usable power. The included 200-Watt power inverter allows you to use traditional 110-Volt appliances with this system. The included Sunforce 7-Amp Solar Charge Controller must be installed to prevent any connected batteries from overcharging. Once fully charged, it is normal for the charge controller LED to turn off and on as the battery voltage fluctuates from the discharge/recharge cycle.

eventhough I have not connected the system, I opened the box and the quality was good. No broken pv panels. The charge controller is simple. Wish it had more information if reverse power diodes are included. Otherwise looks good.

The frame holes to mount the panels into were about 1/2″ to short for the panel holes. The frame should have been about 1/2″ taller.

I hardly ever review anything but I am very pleased with this purchase. It gets 5 stars for the money and simplicity – it’s obviously not the biggest baddest solar panel on the block and you won’t be powering much in the way of household appliances off a 200W inverter, but you can’t beat the price and I had zero problems with shipping. Everything arrived intact and working (I tested the inverter with the battery prior to hooking anything up). You will learn a lot in setting this up and using it to power a few things. I have it installed on the roof of my house and ran a wire drop through the attic vent and down into the main floor, where I keep the battery box (protected and using a sealed battery, relax).
A word on the frame: it’s fine and very easy to set up, but it’s nothing special, just PVC pipe. If you are trying to decide between this system and another panel which would require a more DIY frame, don’t let this frame alone sway you. It’s also made to be floor-standing rather than roof-mounted; what I did was drape the support legs over the apex of my roof and nail the legs to the roof with some PVC U clamps. I’m confident it’s secure, and really the damn thing is so heavy it would take some hurricane winds to move it anyway.
If/when you expand your solar array you will inevitably need to upgrade the charge controller and inverter, but this isn’t a total loss – the inverter, at least, you can hang on to for your car or tailgating truck or whatever, as it uses a 12VDC cigarette lighter plug.
Literally everything you need save the battery is included in the box, you won’t have to make any trips to Radio Shack to pick up terminal connectors or wire twists or adapters or anything. This makes it ideal for the less-than-savvy electrician looking to get started with solar energy. I’d recommend to anyone.
