Unfold it, angle the kickstands at the sun, clip it onto the battery and you are charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoof-mounted panels are permanently fixed to wherever you parked. On a hot Karoo afternoon the shade is under the trees and the sun is not, and a fixed array forces you to choose between the two. A suitcase solves that: park the caravan in the shade and walk the panels out into the sun on twenty metres of cable. It is also the honest answer for anyone who does not want to drill their roof. Nothing gets fixed, nothing leaks, and the kit moves between a trailer, a bakkie and a bush cottage as needed. The Voyager controller is already mounted on the back of the panel and pre-wired, so there is no fiddling with polarity or sizing a controller yourself. It is IP65 rated, which matters when the panel is standing out in the open and a Highveld thunderstorm arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e200W from two hinged 100W monocrystalline panels\u003c\/strong\u003e – roughly 1kWh a day in good conditions, enough to keep a fridge and lights going indefinitely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20A Voyager PWM controller pre-wired\u003c\/strong\u003e – four-stage charging with soft start, bulk, absorption and float, so you do not have to size or fit a controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP65 rated controller and IP67 connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e – designed to sit outside in rain, dust and wind without being packed away every time the weather turns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks with gel, AGM, flooded and lithium batteries\u003c\/strong\u003e – select the battery type on the controller and it manages the rest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated aluminium alloy kickstands\u003c\/strong\u003e – adjustable so you can chase the sun angle through the day instead of accepting whatever the roof gives you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBypass diodes in the junction boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e – a branch shading one corner of the panel no longer collapses the output of the whole array.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlligator clips and tray cable included\u003c\/strong\u003e – connect straight to a battery with no crimping or wiring work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRugged padded carry case\u003c\/strong\u003e – the panels travel in the trailer without chipping the glass on the way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolds to roughly 1062 x 530 x 70 mm at 15.6 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e – slides down the side of a trailer nose cone or behind a seat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaravanners who camp in the shade but need their panels in the sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-road trailers and camper trailers with no roof space left, or no desire to drill.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBakkie and 4x4 owners who want one solar kit that moves between vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBush camps, farm cottages and hunting camps that need power without a permanent install.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone topping up a house battery during load shedding or an extended stay off-grid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e4Matt Campers is a Renogy dealer in \u003cstrong\u003eCape Town\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The supplied lead is short by design; if you want to stand the panels well away from the caravan, add an extension cable rather than moving the battery. Set the controller to the correct battery type before the first charge, particularly if you are on lithium. If you already run an MPPT controller in the caravan, you can order the panel without a controller or simply leave the Voyager disconnected and feed the array into your existing unit, which will get you a little more yield on cold, bright mornings. Do not leave the panels standing unattended in strong wind; the kickstands are good but a gust across an open pan will still lift them. Keep the glass clean. Fine Karoo dust costs you more output than most people expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore what you generate in a bank from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lithium-batteries\"\u003elithium batteries\u003c\/a\u003e, and turn it into 230V with a unit from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/inverters-inverter-chargers\"\u003einverters and inverter chargers\u003c\/a\u003e.

In winter Cape weather with cloud, expect meaningfully less. Rated wattage is a laboratory number, not a promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it with a lithium battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Set the Voyager controller to the lithium battery type before you connect it. If your lithium battery has a low-temperature charge cut-out, the BMS will handle that side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I connect two suitcases together?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can, but not into one 20A PWM controller at 12V without checking the current. The safer route is a branch connector into a larger MPPT controller. Ask us and we will size it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the controller waterproof enough to leave outside?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is IP65 rated and mounted on the back of the panel, so rain and dust are fine. Standing water is not. Do not lay the panel flat in a puddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if part of the panel is shaded?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bypass diodes in the junction boxes limit the damage, so a shaded corner reduces output rather than killing it. You will still get noticeably more out of it in clear sun.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48303141290169,"sku":"RNG-KIT-STCS200D-VOY20-G2-SA","price":10695.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/4587\/6409\/files\/RNG-KIT-STCS200D-VOY20-US__53041.1750412382.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784813060","url":"https:\/\/www.4mattcampers.co.za\/products\/renogy-200w-portable-solar-suitcase-20a-voyager","provider":"4Matt Campers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
