12V Solar Panels

View as

Embrace the freedom of the great outdoors without sacrificing power. Discover reliable, off-grid energy with Outbax's range of high-quality 12V solar panels, perfect for your Australian adventures. As specialists in outdoor power equipment, Outbax understands the need for dependable energy solutions, especially for caravanning and camping.
We offer robust 12V solar panels designed to keep your essential appliances running and your deep-cycle batteries charged when you're off the beaten track. Choose from efficient fixed panels or ultra-portable solar blankets that adapt to your specific outdoor power needs.

Why Power Your Adventures with 12V Solar?

Whether you're exploring remote campsites, touring in your caravan, or kitting out your 4WD, a reliable power source is crucial. Our 12V solar panels provide a clean, quiet, and cost-effective way to generate electricity wherever the sun shines. Take advantage of renewable solar energy for an eco-friendly portable power solution that ensures off-grid independence, allowing you to power lights, fridges, phones, and more. It’s the ideal solution for any camping solar setup or caravan solar power system.

Having 12V solar panels helps with battery maintenance, as it provides a safe charging method for 12V deep cycle batteries (like AGM, Gel, or Lithium LiFePO4). It ensures reliable power is readily available while extending their lifespan at the same time. 12V solar panels also reduce reliance on noisy generators and fuel expenses, making them a smart investment for frequent outdoor enthusiasts.

Explore Outbax's Range of 12V Solar Panels

We cater to diverse needs with different types of 12V solar panels, all utilising high-efficiency monocrystalline solar cells for maximum output even in variable Australian conditions. Our fixed 12V solar panels are ideal for permanent or semi-permanent mounting on caravans, sheds, or vehicles. Available in various wattages (100W, 130W, 160W, & 200W), these panels offer excellent value and durability for long-term outdoor power generation.

For those prioritising mobility, our portable 12V solar blankets & mats represent the ultimate portable 12V solar panel kit solution. These folding 12V solar panels are lightweight, compact, and incredibly easy to set up and store, making them perfect for campers and 4WD enthusiasts needing quick deployment. Most of our portable options come complete with necessary cables and Anderson plugs, ensuring you can start generating power immediately upon arrival at your destination.

Choosing the Right 12V Solar Panel for Your Needs

Selecting the best 12V solar panel for charging batteries depends on your power consumption, available space, and portability requirements. When determining the appropriate wattage, consider what appliances you need to run and the size of your battery bank–higher-wattage panels naturally provide more power for energy-intensive setups. Portability is another crucial factor; if you move campsites frequently, a 12V solar blanket for caravan or camping offers unmatched convenience, while fixed panels excel in set installations where maximum power generation is the priority.

In terms of efficiency, monocrystalline panels generally provide better performance, especially in lower light conditions common in Australia during early morning or late afternoon. At Outbax, we only offer high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels to ensure maximum performance with every use. You'll also need a solar charge controller to safely regulate the power going into your battery, so check product descriptions for included accessories to ensure you have everything needed for a complete solar charging system.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the best solar panels to buy for a home?

    The best panels combine high-efficiency monocrystalline technology with robust construction and strong warranties. Matching premium panels like the VoltX range with quality inverters for your specific energy needs also delivers superior results over simply choosing based on brand alone.

  • Can I run my whole house on solar power?

    Yes, with a correctly sized system including a powerful hybrid inverter and sufficient battery storage, complete energy independence is achievable, though most households maintain grid connection for backup during extended cloudy periods.

  • How long do solar panels last?

    Quality panels typically carry 25-year performance warranties like VoltX models, though many continue producing useful power for 30-40 years with gradual efficiency decline rather than sudden failure.

  • What is the difference between a hybrid inverter and a regular inverter?

    A hybrid inverter manages power from panels, batteries, and grid simultaneously, automatically optimising energy flow for maximum savings and providing backup power, while regular inverters only convert solar DC to household AC without storage capabilities.

  • Do I need a battery for my home solar system?

    Batteries are crucial for backup power during outages and maximising self-consumption of your solar generation for true energy independence.

  • What maintenance do home solar systems require?

    Minimal maintenance involves keeping panels clean with occasional hosing, checking connections annually, and monitoring system performance through inverter displays or apps to ensure optimal operation.

  • Can I install a home solar system myself?

    While some off-grid kits suit confident DIY installation, grid-connected systems legally require licensed electricians for connection and compliance certification to ensure safety and maintain warranty validity.

  • How does a solar system work on cloudy days?

    Panels continue producing power on cloudy days at reduced rates (typically 10-25% of peak capacity), making battery storage valuable for maintaining a consistent supply during variable weather conditions.

  • What is an MPPT charge controller?

    Maximum Power Point Tracking technology, built into advanced inverters like the Deye series, continuously adjusts electrical operating points to harvest maximum available power from your panels regardless of changing sunlight conditions.

  • What are portable solar panels used for?

    Portable solar panels provide power when you're off-grid, making them ideal for camping, caravanning, RVs, and outdoor fun. They're perfect for charging batteries and running your essential bits of kit.

  • How do I choose the right size portable solar panel?


    It all boils down to your energy needs, mate. Think about what you want to power and how much juice they guzzle. More oversized wattage panels (300W or 400W) will give you more oomph and charge batteries faster than smaller ones (like 160W or 200W).

  • What's the difference between a solar panel kit and a solar blanket?


    Solar panel kits generally use sturdy, rigid panels that fold out, giving you a robust and efficient setup. Solar blankets are made of bendy material, making them super light and easy to stash away, though perhaps not quite as tough as rigid panels.

  • Do I need an Anderson plug for a portable solar panel?


    Anderson plugs are a top choice for a solid and dependable connection, especially when dealing with higher power. They are ideal for linking solar panels to batteries in caravans or camping setups. Some of our kits come with Anderson plugs for your convenience.

  • Are these solar panels waterproof?


    While they're built for the great outdoors and are generally weather-resistant, it's always worth double-checking the nitty-gritty product details for specific waterproofing or weather resistance ratings to know their limits in proper downpours or if they take an accidental dunking.
