Solar Panel For Camper "black tiger" 100wp up to 180wp

Solar panel "black tiger" 100 / 115 / 120 / 150 / 180 Wp

Get the best out of your camper roof  with black tiger!

A conventional solar panel is usually a compromise between what would be technically possible and the resulting costs (or smaller profit / margin for the manufacturer if the panel is not dissuasively expensive wants to offer). 

At tigerexped Solar we are not willing to make such compromises. Space for solar panels on RVs or boats is limited, electricity, on the other hand, is often immensely important, since not only the comfort of a holiday, but also often self-sufficient work depends on it. We have therefore exclusively focused on generating the highest possible electricity yield in every situation through solar. A whole range of properties makes our solar panels real superheroes of energy generation. 

What does a "black tiger" Solar panel so powerful?

Extremely high efficiency

With an efficiency of up to 24.4%, all of our "black tiger", just like our semi-flexible panels for arched roofs, are currently technically possible top performances. We only use top of the range Sunpower Maxeon Gen. III cells.

What does "top of the range" cells mean?

You can best imagine solar cells as a natural product that never comes out of production 100% right away. For this reason, the cells are bombarded with light under very specific conditions immediately after their production, their performance is evaluated and divided into quality levels. In the complete tigerexped solar range only those cells make it that could achieve the highest classification (Ultra Peak Performance quality class).

In order to achieve the best possible performance in every situation, the "black tiger" Solar panel for campers but also has other properties that make it a real high-performance module.
 

Solar panel with full(!) copper layer on the back

In order to make the module as fail-safe as possible, we use a full-surface copper contact layer on the back instead of copper connections (often also installed on the front). This has two major advantages:

1. Less hidden area on the front and therefore higher energy yield in relation to the module size.

2. A significantly higher level of reliability
If individual cells of a module are damaged (micro-cracks, possibly also by branches or hail), this often leads to total failure of the entire solar module with the usual wiring method - the individual, important connections are interrupted, but not damaged. Damaged cells can no longer produce electricity. The full-surface copper contact layer of modules from the tigerexped solar series, on the other hand, guarantees the best possible supply of your electrical consumers, even with dead individual cells or cell areas.

Improved temperature coefficient - up to 25% MORE PERFORMANCE even in hot weather

Manufacturer specifications for the performance of a solar panel refer to an ambient temperature of 25°. C. The problem: As the temperature rises, the performance falls - the solar panel can work much less effectively in the heat. And how fast is 25° on the roof of a camper? Achieved or exceeded C ... Performance drops for each degree of temperature increase.

"black tiger" Solar panels, as well as our semi-flexible black tiger sf, counter this with a special optimization. In order to keep heat losses small, they are equipped with a high no-load voltage and low temperature coefficients (power drop per degree Celsius). For you, this means: Up to 25% more energy yield than with a conventional solar Panel.

Larger, usable light spectrum

Only a fraction of the incoming light rays (within a certain frequency) can be absorbed by a solar panel

ential area) can be used to generate energy. The 'black tiger' Solar panels are able to use a larger frequency range, i.e. a larger spectrum of light. This also includes the valuable last rays of sunshine at twilight, which can still be used to generate electricity for the electrical devices in the camper.

NEW: Now with 3 bypass diodes

The special wiring of a black tiger solapanel with now even one more isolating diode guarantees maximum performance in partial shading. Cells in the sun are less affected by those in the shade.

Framing and covering

The "black tigers" Solar panels are covered by special glass and set in an aluminium frame in elegant black.

Connect solar panel

The connection is made on the back using two pre-assembled cables, each 0.9 m long, with connectors according to the MC4 standard.

For a waterproof roof duct, we recommend either the Multi cable duct or two horizontal cable ducts (6-10mm) from Scanstrut.

Solar Controller

In order to be able to connect the solar panel to the battery, a solar controller is always required. For the connection between the solar panel and the solar controller you also need solar wire in the appropriate length, a MC4 connector and a MC4 Socket.

We recommend the Solar controller SmartSolar (please select the appropriate size). If you want to connect several panels together, a larger controller is required. You can find out which controller you need as follows:

The values ??of an MPPT 75/15, for example, mean a maximum of 75V no-load voltage of the panel (V_oc) and a maximum of 15A nominal charging current. The V_oc value is in the data sheet for each panel, the nominal charging current must be calculated.

Calculation example:
The black tiger 100 has a V_oc of 37.20V. This is less than 75V and therefore the solar regulator with 75V open circuit voltage is sufficient.
To calculate the nominal charging current, divide the nominal power by 12.8V: So 100Wp divided by 12.8V gives 7.81A. This is less than 10 and therefore the solar controller MPPT 75/10 can be used for our black tiger 100.

Size and performance variants

Our high-performance black tiger solar panels are available in 5 formats for the best use of space on the vehicle roof. Particularly long, narrow ones, which are just 42 cm wide and can be installed on the side next to a roof hatch, or a special square format that fits particularly well on most van roofs. Simply select the one that best suits your needs from the top right!

You can find the respective technical specifications with the variants and under PDF as a data sheet.
