Sunman eArc 175W Flexible Monocrystalline Solar Panel
eArc (pronounced e-Ark) by SunMan are the only lightweight solar panels
approved for grid connect on buildings which means they have passed the same
testing criteria as traditional solar panels.
Tougher, lighter, thinner and more durable
Cutting edge technology - glass fibre-reinforced composite polymers similar to aircraft windows
Light - 100W frameless is 1.9kg
Thin - 2mm
Tough - Hail tested with ice stones of 35mm diameter and 200g mass at 39.5m per sec
Strong - rated 2400 pascals for wind and 2400 pascals for load
Durable - 10 year product warranty for building and 5 years for mobile application
Output - Efficient monocrystalline cells, 25 year performance guarantee
The only range of lightweight solar panel with Clean Energy Council (CEC) Accreditation
Development of the new waterproof composite polymers and panel structure was
accelerated by funding of $3.3M from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency
(ARENA) to achieve the same durability as conventional solar panels.
eArche panels have been installed on the world’s first solar powered train in
Byron Bay and 812 (235kW) panels have been installed onto the Sydney Maritime
Museum’s Heritage Building which could not support heavy glass framed solar
panels. To date more than 1MW of eArche capacity has been installed in
Australia
eArche has obtained a series of other certifications for reliability,
including:
![eArche accreditation and
standards]
A robust, lightweight, flexible solar panel that is perfect for caravans,
motorhomes, boats, golf carts, trains, buses and other applications.

Vented Gap Kits
The Vented Gap Kit (VGK) allows for air-flow underneath the panel from any
direction. The kit lifts the panel approx 15mm.
Victron SmartSolar 100/30 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller
Bluetooth Smart built-in
The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar
Charge Controllers
VE.Direct
For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or
other devices
Ultrafast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing
continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up
to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower
MPPT controllers
Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions
If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may be present on
the power-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which
may not be the optimum MPP. The innovative BlueSolar algorithm will always
maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.
Outstanding conversion efficiency
No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%. The full output current up to
40°C (104°F).
Flexible charge algorithm
Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on our website),
and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see
manual for details).
Extensive electronic protection
Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high. PV
short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection. PV reverse current
protection.
Internal temperature sensor
Compensates absorption and float charge voltage for temperature.
Optional external battery voltage and temperature sensing via Bluetooth
A Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor can be used to
communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more SmartSolar Charge
Controllers.
These kits are perfect for upgrading a pop-top caravan like a Jayco Expanda to
be off-grid.
