Multi-panel solar kit with matched high-capacity MPPT controller, cabling and mounts — for vans that live off-grid
Use the sun to charge your leisure battery — properly, with an array that matches your power needs. This kit bundles multiple Victron panels with a SmartSolar MPPT controller matched to the array, array cabling, mount hardware, and a PV isolator — sized as a system so every panel's output actually reaches your battery (excluding fixings and adhesives/sealants).
The controller is matched to your array — 100/30 for two panels, 100/50 for three, 150/45 for four — sized to handle the combined current of multiple panels with margin for cold-weather voltage spikes. That's not a detail you can retrofit later: if the controller is too small, you're paying for panel wattage you'll never harvest.
Choose your panel count at checkout and the kit arrives with everything matched — panels, controller, cabling, and mounts. One delivery, one installation, a proper solar array.
- Multiple Victron monocrystalline panels (2, 3, or 4 × 130W or 190W)
- High-capacity SmartSolar MPPT controller sized for the array
- Cold-weather rated — controller voltage covers winter VOC spikes
- Bluetooth monitoring of total array harvest — live and 30 days of history in the VictronConnect app
- Array cabling with series connections, MC4, and inline fusing
- Mount kit for every panel — corner mounts, side mounts, cable glands
- PV Isolation included as standard
- Optional MC4 internal cutoff — rooftop connectors as standard, or our internal connector service for a clean pass-through cable entry
☀️ Solar Yield — Real UK Estimates
Real UK seasonal estimates from our power calculator's solar model — 2.39 effective sun-hours/day in summer, 0.74 in winter. Yields shown per full day. Ranges cover 130W and 190W panel options. Summer — 621-908Wh/day (approx. 49-71Ah) Winter — 192-281Wh/day (approx. 15-22Ah) Summer — 932-1362Wh/day (approx. 73-107Ah) Winter — 289-422Wh/day (approx. 23-33Ah) Summer — 1243-1816Wh/day (approx. 97-142Ah) Winter — 385-562Wh/day (approx. 30-44Ah)
📦 What's Included
1
Victron Solar Panels
- Your chosen count of 130W or 190W monocrystalline panels. Genuine Victron with 25-year performance warranty — not the panels that fade to 60% output in year two.
2
High-Capacity MPPT Controller
- SmartSolar MPPT matched to the array — 100/30 (2 panels), 100/50 (3 panels) or 150/45 (4 panels). Sized with cold-weather margin so winter voltage spikes don't damage it.
3
Array Cabling Kit
- Solar cable with MC4 connectors, panels connected in series, roof-entry gland, and inline fusing for each string.
4
Mount Kits
- Corner mounts, side mounts, and cable glands for every panel in the array. White or black hardware.
5
Solar PV Isolator (DC Breaker)
- A DC breaker handles isolation and circuit protection in one unit. Switch your solar charge off when storing lithium batteries or for system maintenance.
⚡ Key Features
01Array-Sized Controller — Nothing Wasted
A 4×190W array produces up to 58A in ideal conditions. The 150/45 controller in this kit handles it — including the 45% surge tolerance Victron builds in. An undersized controller clips that harvest permanently.
02Cold-Weather Voltage Protection
Panel voltage rises in cold weather — about 0.3% per degree below 25°C. At -10°C, a 190W panel's VOC hits 23.9V and a 4-series array would exceed 95V. The controllers in this kit are specified with that margin built in.
03See the Whole Array's Harvest
Bluetooth in the controller shows total array output, not per-panel guesswork. If one panel is underperforming — shade, dirt, a failed connection — you'll see it in the numbers.
04Scalable From 2 to 4 Panels
Start with 2 panels if your power needs are moderate, or go straight to 4 if you run a fridge, inverter, and heavy 12V loads. The controller handles the full range without an upgrade path required.

❓ FAQ
How many panels do I need?
For a compressor fridge plus normal 12V loads, 2×190W covers summer comfortably. Full-time off-grid with an inverter — go 3 or 4. If you're unsure, the Camper Power Planner calculates your actual daily consumption.
How are the panels wired?
The panels connect in series — no branch connectors supplied. Series keeps the cabling simple and the current low, with inline fusing per string.
Why the bigger controller for 4 panels?
A 4-panel series string runs at roughly four times a single panel's voltage — about 95V VOC at -10°C, inside the 150/45's 150V rating with margin to spare. A 100/30 would clip your harvest permanently.
Will this charge my battery on a cloudy day?
MPPT controllers extract meaningful power even in diffuse light. On a heavy overcast day, expect 10-20% of the array's rated output — still useful charging, just slower.
