Why Choose Victron?
Optimised for Low Light & Partial Shade
Still delivers meaningful power on overcast days or when partly shaded, ideal for UK weather and mobile setups.
Fully Compatible with Victron Systems
Seamlessly pair with Victron MPPT charge controllers, AGM or lithium batteries, and inverters, no guesswork.
Built for the Long Haul
Tested for salt, ammonia, wind, snow and heat. Backed by an ISO 9001-certified quality process and performance warranties.
High Efficiency in Tight Spaces
Monocrystalline models maximise energy production when roof space is limited, perfect for vans or boats.
Simple to Install
Comes with MC4 connectors and pre-drilled frames. Compatible with most mounting kits, no specialist gear required.
Thinking About Cheaper Panels?
Victron panels are a worthwhile investment if you’re looking for reliable energy when it matters:
-
Cheaper panels degrade faster and underperform in low light.
-
Victron maintains tighter quality control and publishes transparent performance data.
-
You get long-term peace of mind, not just short-term saving.
Complete System Compatibility
Victron solar panels are designed to integrate smoothly into Victron’s wider ecosystem:
-
MPPT charge controllers
-
AGM or lithium batteries
-
BatteryProtect units
-
Off-grid inverters
That means fewer unknowns, faster installs, and long-term peace of mind.
Can I mix Victron solar panels with other panels?
You can mix different solar panels, but it's not ideal since mixing always reduces overall efficiency. The best solution is to use separate charge controllers for different panels. The bottom line is that while mixing reduces efficiency, it's doable if you follow the voltage/current matching rules or use separate controllers.
Which battery should I pair it with?
First figure out what you need to power and how many people are using the items. Are you looking to power mobile devices? Or are you looking to power something large like a fridge? It all depends on your needs.
How long will these panels last me?
These panels are built to last for decades. Victron’s panels follow EN IEC 61730, a performance degradation standard.
Solar panel manufacturers must ensure that all components meet stringent safety regulations (EN IEC 61730). These regulations include testing panels to protect against fire hazards, electric shock or other injury risks.
Is installation complicated?
No. Pre-drilled frames, MC4 connectors and standard sizing make DIY installs simple. We’re happy to advise on mounting kits or walkthroughs.
How fast do panels degrade year by year?
Solar panels degrade gradually over time, but the process is quite predictable and slower than many people expect. A typical solar panel experiences 2-3% degradation in its first year due to light-induced degradation (LID), then stabilises at around 0.3-0.8% degradation per year from the second year onward.
The median degradation rate across the industry is about 0.5% per year, meaning your panels will lose half a percent of their power output annually. But Victron can offer much better performance with degradation rates as low as 0.25-0.30% per year, while lower-quality panels might degrade at rates of up to 0.8% annually.
FAQ
Is 100W enough to run a fridge + charge my mobile devices?
No, 100W is not enough for a regular household fridge plus mobile devices. A typical household refrigerator uses 100-400 watts while running (averaging 150-250W), plus it has startup surges of 600-800W. Since fridges cycle on and off, they might run 8-12 hours per day, consuming 1,200-3,000 watt-hours (1.2-3 kWh) daily.
