Glass Roof Top 12V Solar Panel 350W

Bypass Diode

The bypass diode will maintain the solar panels output in the event the cells are partially shaded. This technology enables superior performance  by ensuring a more consistent supply of power, ideal for mounting to roof tops.

Perfect Sizing for Roof Top Mounting
The KickAss Engineering team has designed these panels to be the perfect dimensions for vehicle mounting on your 4WD, caravan or trailer. 

Permanent Power Solution

Permanent Power Solution Elevate your 12V setup to the next level with the new KickAss 350W Fixed Solar Panel. It has been designed and tested in Australian conditions to offer the most efficient solar solution for your 4WD, trailer, caravan, or boat. One of the significant advantages of a fixed panel is its ability to operate continuously once it is connected to your 12V system. With the optional mounting accessories, you can effortlessly attach or affix the solar panel to your vehicle.

A-Grade Monocrystalline Solar Cells

Made with the highest quality monocrystalline cells our KickAss 12V 350W Fixed Solar Panels provide 15-25% more efficiency than other panel on the market. On top of this, monocrystalline panels have increased performance in low light conditions.

Thick Tempered Glass

The highly transparent anti reflective tempered glass solar panel provides high impact resistance against hail, stone and accidental knocks. Perfect for permanently mounting and withstanding the harsh Australian weather conditions. 

 

The KickAss 12V 350W Fixed Solar Panel delivers a maximum power output of 350 watts with a maximum power voltage of 19.01 volts and a current of 18.52 amps under standard test conditions of 1000W/m² at 25°C.
This high-efficiency monocrystalline panel is designed to provide reliable, consistent power for your off-grid adventures, making it ideal for charging 12V battery systems and powering your essential devices with ease.

Yes, the KickAss 350W panel is compatible with 12V battery systems when used with a suitable solar charge controller rated for its input voltage and current, which are 22.24V open circuit voltage and 19.96A short circuit current.
Always use a charge regulator with the correct input rating to protect your battery and ensure efficient charging. This panel’s waterproof PV connectors and diode-protected junction box make integration straightforward and safe.

For optimal performance, install the panel facing true north in the southern hemisphere, angled between 20° and 40° from the ground to maximise sun exposure throughout the day and across seasons.
The panel features pre-drilled mounting holes and a robust black powder-coated aluminium frame for secure attachment. Follow the manual’s installation guide and consider professional installation to ensure it is firmly mounted and able to withstand high winds.

Always connect the panel to your battery through a correctly rated solar regulator, avoid direct connections, and ensure batteries are in well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources to prevent explosive gas risks.
The panel’s design includes diode protection and waterproof connectors to enhance safety. Wearing eye and clothing protection during installation and handling batteries carefully further ensures safe operation.

The panel weighs 20.1kg and measures 1850mm by 1015mm by 35mm, with a sturdy black aluminium frame designed for fixed roof mounting.
Its size and weight make it ideal for glass roof-top installations on vehicles or buildings, and the heavy-duty extrusion frame provides durability and longevity in outdoor conditions.

Yes, you can connect multiple panels of the same model in series or parallel, provided the combined open circuit voltage does not exceed your charge controller’s maximum input voltage and the wiring is rated for the current.
Using identical panels like the KARTSP350 ensures consistent performance and voltage compatibility, while the manual’s recommended connection diagrams help you set up a safe and efficient system.

The panel includes a diode-protected junction box, tempered glass coating, and a black powder-coated aluminium frame, all designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments and prevent damage from shading or electrical faults.
These features help maintain high efficiency and protect the panel from potential reverse current damage, ensuring reliable power generation for years to come.

Regularly clean the tempered glass surface to remove dust and debris, avoid shading or covering the panel, and ensure your battery is properly maintained and ventilated for optimal charging performance.
Following these simple steps, along with correct installation and use of a suitable charge controller, will help you get the most from your panel’s 20.6% conversion efficiency and robust design.
