Solar FAQs

On-Grid Systems tie to your utility grid, providing energy, in addition to your utility company what kind of alternative sources. Through the use of grid-connected solar systems, can greatly reduce or completely your electricity bill. In addition, depending on your system and the size of the network, you may receive money in return.

off-grid system is not tied to the utility grid and use the battery pack can be sustained. The battery pack can be attached to an inverter, a DC voltage into AC voltage, AC allows you to use any electronic device or equipment. Common applications include cabins off-grid, off-grid car, boat and dry camping. Off-grid system can also be used in a variety of other applications, including backup emergency power during a power outage

There are difference in manufacturing technology, and as a result of monocrystalline silicon cells more effectively. Monocrystalline cells can produce more power in less space. Further, a single crystal plate having a deep blue, almost black appearance, but usually at a higher price, due to the improved efficiency. On the other hand polycrystalline panels are less efficient and require more space. However, the difference is the size and efficiency does not affect the power. A single-crystal panel and a 100 watt 100 watt polycrystalline panel two outputs 100 watts, while ignoring power losses in the system, but the output of the single crystal panel 100 watts smaller surface area.

Powersolarkits Framed Solar Panels have a performance warranty of 25 years. After 5 years they should output more than 95% of the rated power, after 10 years it is 90% and 25 years it is 80%.

The module temperature for our Powersolarkits solar panels ranges from -40°C to 90°C. Whereas our charge controllers have an operating temperature of -35°C to 55°C. The majority of our solar panel are water proof and do fare well in extreme conditions however, our charge controllers are not water proof. We recommend storing and securing the charge controller in a well ventilated dry space.

This will also depend on the conditions. If it is cloudy and overcast, likely not. If it is cloudy and bright still, then it probably will charge but it won’t be very much.

For an off-grid system, the solar panels with continue to generate power as long as the sun is still out.

We recommend cleaning the solar panels on a weekly or bi-weekly basis in order to keep their performance high.

We have nominal 12V and 24V panels. These panels actually produce 20+V and 30+V, respectively. Whether it will work with a 12V, 24V, and 48V will depend on the controller that you use. All the controllers we offer will work with 12/24V systems. The MidNite Classic controllers will work with 48V systems.

Framed/Rigid panels 10w-150w (mono and poly) is 25 Year Transferable Power Output Warranty and 5 Year Material and Workmanship Warranty.

Framed/Rigid panels 240w-300w (mono and poly) is 25 Year Transferable Power Output Warranty.

Lightweight panel 50w and 100w is 3 Year Material Warranty.
