The NDS Solenergy Rigid Solar Panel 85W is a compact and efficient solar panel designed for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, boats, and off-grid vehicles. Built with high-efficiency monocrystalline photovoltaic cells, the panel provides reliable renewable energy for maintaining and charging 12V leisure battery systems.

With an output of approximately 85W, this panel is ideal for smaller solar installations where roof space is limited but dependable battery charging is still required. The photovoltaic cells are constructed from high-purity silicon and protected by textured tempered glass, EVA layers, and a durable aluminium frame, ensuring long-term performance in outdoor environments.

The panel includes integrated aluminium mounting brackets with aerodynamic side covers, allowing quick and secure roof installation while ensuring ventilation beneath the panel to prevent heat build-up and maintain efficiency.

With built-in bypass diodes, the panel can continue producing power even if part of the panel becomes shaded, helping maintain consistent energy generation.

This makes it an ideal choice for caravan solar systems, campervan conversions, and motorhome off-grid power setups.
