160 Wp Camper Solar Kit MPPT 15A KIT160-SS15
160 Wp Camper Solar Kit MPPT 15A KIT160-SS15 for campers and boats, with 15 A MPPT controller.
Panel, cables, fuses, fuse holders and installation diagram are included.
Want to make better use of the available roof space on your camper or boat, even when sunlight is not ideal? The KIT160-SS15 combines a 160 Wp polycrystalline panel with a 15 A MPPT controller to support onboard energy production.
This page explains the kit contents, expected yield, compatibility and the checks required before installation, so you can compare the system with your actual battery and daily loads.
How the KIT160-SS15 works
The solar panel produces DC power during daylight. The MPPT controller tracks the panel operating point and converts the available energy for battery charging.

Practical energy and use
With four equivalent sun hours, the theoretical output is 640 Wh. After typical losses, a good-day estimate is approximately 480-510 Wh. Real output changes with season, shading, temperature, roof orientation and battery state of charge.
| Example load | Indicative energy |
| LED lighting for 5 hours | 50-60 Wh |
| Water pump for 30 minutes | 25 Wh |
| Laptop for 2 hours | 120 Wh |
| Four phone charges | About 60 Wh |
Compressors, heaters and inverters require a separate energy budget based on their real 24-hour consumption.
Installation checks
- Check the available area and avoid shadows from rooflights or antennas.
- Confirm controller charging profiles for the installed battery chemistry.
- Size cables, fuses and isolators for current and distance.
- Install the controller in a dry, ventilated location near the battery.
- Follow the connection order and polarity stated in the manual.
Frequently asked questions
Is the battery included?
No. The kit supplies the solar charging components; the battery must already be installed or purchased separately.
Can it power 230 V appliances?
Only with a separate inverter matched to battery voltage and appliance starting power. Conversion losses reduce available energy.
Is it suitable for LiFePO4 batteries?
Compatibility depends on the exact controller and charging profile. Request confirmation before use with LiFePO4.
How much roof space is required?
The panel measures 148 × 67 × 3.5 cm; extra clearance is required for mounts, wiring, ventilation and maintenance.
Can it run a camper refrigerator?
It depends on the refrigerator's measured daily Wh consumption, battery capacity and season. Compare that demand with the estimated 480-510 Wh on a good day.
