portable solar panels


I have a Kick Ass folding solar panel which has only been used a couple of times and is as new.It is a 300w -12 volt system with solar charger and comes in a heavy duty carry bag. It has Monocrystalline A grade Solar Cells.Battery status indicator and Stainless Steel fittings all made in Brisbane. I am selling it as I have now purchased a Caravan which has solar panels on the roof, which my camper trailer did not have naturally. I still have the receipt from 2018 when purchased as well as the instruction booklet. We live in Hastings, Western Port bay area of Melb.

Price is $250 ONO.DSCN1834.JPG

My advice is don't sell it until you are sure your roof mounted panels are up to the job.

 Thank you for your reply, but are you really sure they fold up in a rectangular fashion?

 

I ask as the folding panels depicted are square, being 6x6 PV units in lots of 36 per panel, and unless the panels pull apart or slide somehow, I would have thought they would fold square.

I had the Kickass 300 watt panels, they are rectangular and there are 3 panels. Just fitted standing up in my DMax tub n canopy.

Excellent performance, sturdy, good quality but heavy.

Yobar, thank you for your reply, but that is for the later four panel model and presumably the dimensions may be slightly different.

The Travelling Dillberries, thanks for that. After reading your reply, I had a closer look and it appears that the square PV cells are not square, but slightly rectangular. I counted 6x6 panels in each frame and assumed they were square.

Anyway it is slightly moot as until the OP replies, we are left waiting.

I would say those panels will be someones Xmas present.
Probably sold fairly easy at that price.

Hi flyfisher,

Do you still have your panels for sale?  Just wondering since they still appear for sale on this Forum.

I note there has not been any posting since Dec 2021.

Hopefully you have not gone missing in action and have successfully sold them.

If not, could you give me a hoy - cheers, Tim
