Tired of all the noise and smell from your diesel generator? The Instapark SPCC-5W offers you a quiet, clean while carbon-free alternative. Capable of converting virtually unlimited solar energy into clean, green, most importantly, free electricity, the Instapark SPCC-5W includes a 5-Watt mono-crystalline solar panel with solar charge controller.
This solar panel is made of high efficiency mono-crystalline solar cells embedded in transparent vinyl acetate behind tempered glass with heavy back sheet ensuring maintenance free performance. Unlike amorphous solar panels, which only last about 5-7 years of continuous use, mono-crystalline solar panels can still retain over 80% of efficiency even after 25 years of continuous use. Also, the mono-crystalline panels are much more efficient and thus smaller in size while producing higher wattage.
This kit is designed and engineered to primarily charge 12-Volt batteries, which store and provide usable power when needed, ideal fo

It … worked? WOW,
This solar panel combo is a solar panel plus a charge controller plus clamps – all preassembled and ready to go. Set it out in the sun, attach the clamps to a meter, and you should get what I got – 20V at .3 amps. My panel came in good condition – inside a solid cardboard box within another box. Your mileage may vary. I am pleased with the construction overall, but it does not look overly rugged. You won’t want to casually toss it around too much, but it should mount nicely to a solid surface. The aluminum frame has mounting holes on the back, but the clearance is very limited.
I have a Brunton foldable solar panel that cost ten times as much and only puts out 3 times the amps (same voltage).
I will be buying a larger Instapark product in the future. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.
