Solar Panels

Premier offers a wide range of quality panels to supply the various needs of our battery energizers and the diverse solar input situations across North America.

Size of the solar panel will be determined by:

  • Location where the energizer will be used.
  • Draw of the energizer.
  • Time of the year that the energizer will be used.

Benefits

Helps reduce slow the drain on your battery by pumping power back into it. We will install solar panel on our Solar Brackets and Support Box (see accessories tab above to order) when ordered with us.

The rapid increase in solar panel manufacturing capacity has forced down the prices Premier must pay per watt per panel. We're very pleased to pass on the savings to you. The quality remains as good (if not better).

Installation

Solar panels should be attached directly to the 12 volt deep cycle battery terminals or through a voltage regulator.

Shipping

These items DO NOT qualify for Free Ground Delivery.

Precautions

Make sure to place in the sun. Keep the panel clean. The sun can not get through dust, snow, ice and bird droppings.
Can be used in winter, but needs to remain clear and battery must be above 40 percent charged or it will freeze.

Regulators should be used in conjunction with a 20 watt panel or larger.

Trouble Shooting

  • Check all connections
  • Test just the energizer on the battery
  • Solar panel should have an output of 15 to 21 volts in full sunlight

Warranty

Premier has a 2-Year Warranty on solar panels. Warranty covers the efficiency of the cells only and does not warrant the glass, frame or cells against breakage caused from weather or abuse. Premier's 30 day guarantee covers products that return undamaged and at original functioning level.

If properly sized to your battery, available sunlight, and energizer, our solar panels will not disappoint. Seldom do we have one sent in for failure (our Repairs department want us to stress this point, these panels do not fail). They can take a lot of abuse and still pump a charge into your battery. They use blue polycrystalline cells which are more efficient per unit area than brown or black celled panels. Prices for solar panels are lower than what they were only a few short years ago. They are of excellent quality and the cost per watt per panel is low.

These panels are great - compact and easy to position. I love not having to lug batteries around to be charged and not having to remember to check the charge so often. ( I do not use them in the winter)
