We ship Australia-wide or you can collect from our Melbourne or Launceston (Tasmania) stores. We also stock a wide range of Solar Regulators / Solar Controllers to properly charge your batteries, as well as all the cable wiring and connectors you might need for your Camper / Motorhome installations.

Powertech Solar Panels range from 5 Watt - 175 Watt, and are a very high quality panel with a 20 year output Guarantee. The most popular model currently is the 80Watt (80W), which pairs nicely with a 100Ah (100 Amp-Hour) Deep Cycle battery and can be fitted either individually or in sets on the roof of most Caravans or Motorhomes.

This monocrystalline panel is slightly more efficient than a polycrystalline panel, and is similar in quality to BP hence the same 20-year output Guarantee. Each individual cell is tested and measured before assembling the panel, and then each panel is tested and measured to IEC standards before shipping. Unlike many solar panel suppliers, this supplier performs the silicon doping process in-house, which provides further quality control over the end product as they are in control of the whole process from start to finish.

Solar Charging

If using Solar charging then you will need a Solar Controller or Solar Regulator to avoid over-charging your deep cycle battery. These are normally purchased separately from the Solar Panel, with the exception of our "fold up" or "suitcase" style solar panels which have them built-in.

Many panels these days come with a silicon diode built in to avoid reverse discharge of the battery via the panel, but this is NOT sufficient to protect the battery from over-charging by the panel and a regulator must be used on all panels above a few watts in power.

Note that the latest MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar regulators can provide up to 97% efficiency, which is a big improvement on older style regulators. This can be an advantage where space is tight and a larger panel is not an option.

Do remember to set the Solar Controller / Regulator to suit the battery type if there is an option to do so, as Gel batteries, for example, require a lower charging voltage, while Calcium batteries can benefit from a much higher (up to 16Volt) Equalisation charge periodically. This is something many Morningstar and other good quality regulators can provide. If in doubt please contact us for more information.

We would be happy to hear from you if you would like advice on choosing a suitable solar panel or regulator.

At "Every Battery" we sell a huge range of solar panels, and also a very wide range (14 manufacturers) of deep cycle batteries and accessories, all at the best possible prices.

Because we can provide the whole solution we are happy to give advice and work out an individually tailored set up just right for your requirements and your budget.
