Xantrex has added solar solutions to its product portfolio. In the first phase of this launch, Xantrex is offering rigid panel and flexible panel roof-mounted solar kits and expansion kits to accommodate future upgrade or expansion.
The roof-mounted solar kits include a 30-amp charge controller and all necessary hardware, including PV and battery cables with built-in fuse and mounting brackets.
The roof-mounted flexible solar panels achieve added durability from a highly protective top-layer called ethylene-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (ETFE), which allows for better light transmittance, corrosion resistance, stain-resistance and weather resistance, according to the company. The result is performance over a wide temperature range while withstanding a variety of environmental conditions, compared to non-ETFE semi-flexible panels.
Solar MAX panels can harvest up to 20 percent more energy, even in low light and shaded conditions, when compared to a standard solar panel. Its peel-and-stick adhesive backing eliminates the need to glue or drill mounting holes.
The portable solar kits are also available with a rigid or flexible lightweight panel option. Most of the solar kits come with a five-year warranty. The solar kits are available through leading distribution partners and dealers throughout North America.
