Kyocera's KC65 65W solar panel is manufactured to the highest standards, combining the latest in automated production and Kyocera's advanced cell technology. Kyocera pride themselves on producing some of the most efficient multicrystalline photovoltaic solar panels and the KC65'ssolar cells have an efficiency rating of over 16%. This is the ideal panel for most day-to-day low-mid range solar energy systems, for use at home, at the caravan or simply as a practical source of energy away from the mains.
To ensure that the solar panel is robust as well as reliable, the Kyocera solar cells are sandwiched between a tempered glass cover and an EVA pottant. A toughened back sheet provides maximum protection from even the toughest environmental conditions. To ensure that the solar panel is structurally strong and easy to install, the solar cell laminate is fitted into an anodized aluminum frame and equipped with plug in connectors on metallised cable (MC) leads.
Kyocera solar panels have been widely proven in solar energy installations all over the world, from Africa to Antarctica. The Kyocera KC50 is a suitable power source for a wide range of mid-low range devices, such as garden and caravan lighting, radios, water pumps, small TVs and many more.
To protect your batteries from overcharging we recommend incorporating a suitable high quality charge controller, such as the Solsum 6.6F to your system.
To make installation easier and more efficient, we also supply a range of Mounting Racks, Brackets & Sealants.
This solar panel is 'Power guaranteed' for 25 years.

Installation Basics:
Kyocera solar panels are not supplied as standard with any mounting brackets, but they are fitted with either flying MC leads with industry standard male and female connections or 'screw-in' terminals on the junction box for easy cable attachment. Cabling is often cheaper when sourced locally. We can supply a range of mounting options, although this is specific to your requirements. View our range of Mounting Racks, Brackets & Sealants .
Don't forget, delivery is FREE on all orders to most mainland UK destinations over £250 (ex VAT)
