This panel is engineered for maximum performance and portability:

• Bifacial Design: Captures sunlight from both the front and rear surfaces, harvesting up to 30% more energy than single-sided panels in ideal conditions.
• N-Type TOPCon Cell Technology: Provides a superior conversion efficiency of up to 25%, with better performance in high temperatures and low-light conditions.
• Super Lightweight & Portable: Weighing only 5.3 kg, its folding design makes it easy to transport and store.
• Durable ETFE Coating: Offers excellent resistance to heat, UV exposure, and corrosion for long-term durability in harsh Australian environments.
• Reflective Carry Bag: The storage bag's inner lining is reflective, designed to bounce extra light onto the rear of the panel to further boost solar harvest.

The 200W Folding Bifacial Solar Panel panel features N-Type TOPCon monocrystalline cells with dual-sided light absorption. Below are the key electrical performance figures and physical specifications:

Yes, two KickAss 200W Bifacial panels can be connected in either series or parallel to expand your solar capacity to 400W.

• Parallel Connection: Combines the current (Amps) of both panels while keeping the voltage the same. This is ideal for most standard 12V battery setups.
• Series Connection: Combines the voltage of both panels while keeping the current the same. This is effective for systems using an MPPT charge controller that can handle higher input voltages.

IMPORTANT: When connecting panels, ensure they are the same model and specifications. Always check that the combined open-circuit voltage (Voc) and short-circuit current (Isc) do not exceed the maximum input ratings of your solar charge controller.

Yes, absolutely. This is an unregulated solar panel.

You must use a compatible Solar Charge Controller between the panel and the battery. Connecting the panel directly to a battery will cause overcharging and permanent damage to the battery.

Ensure your regulator is compatible with the panel's open-circuit voltage (Voc: 29.2V) and your battery chemistry (e.g., AGM, LiFePO4).

1. Unpack: Unzip the carry bag and remove the solar panel.
2. Position the Bag: Lay the carry bag fully open and flat on the ground with its reflective surface facing up. This will bounce light onto the rear of the panel.
3. Unfold & Position: Unfold the panel sections and use the integrated kickstands to prop it up. Place the entire assembly on top of the reflective bag.
4. Align with Sun: Position the setup in an open area free from shadows. Angle the front face of the panel directly towards the sun for maximum exposure. Adjust the angle throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky.
5. Connect: Connect the panel's integrated Anderson plug to your solar regulator's input.

To prevent damage to your equipment, always follow this connection sequence:

1. Connect the solar regulator to your battery terminals first.
2. Once the regulator is powered on and has detected the battery, connect the solar panel to the solar input on the regulator.

To disconnect, reverse the process: disconnect the panel from the regulator first, then disconnect the regulator from the battery.

1. Ensure the panel is disconnected from all power sources.
2. Use clean water and a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge to gently wipe away dust and dirt.
3. For stubborn grime, use a mild, non-abrasive soapy water solution.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
5. Allow the panel to air dry or use a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or high-pressure washers, as these can damage the ETFE coating and solar cells.

• Check Connections: Ensure the Anderson plug is fully and securely connected to the regulator. Check all other connections between the regulator and the battery.
• Check for Sunlight: The panel must be in direct sunlight. Heavy clouds, shade from trees, or buildings will prevent power generation.
• Check Regulator: Verify that your solar regulator is functioning correctly and is not showing any fault codes.

Your solar regulator or power station display will not show a separate "bifacial" reading. The extra power generated by the rear cells is automatically combined with the front cells, resulting in a single, higher total wattage (W) or current (A) reading on your display.

If you are not seeing the expected performance boost, check the surface beneath the panel. To maximise the bifacial effect, ensure the panel is placed over a highly reflective surface like the provided carry bag, dry sand, or light-coloured concrete. Dark, light-absorbing surfaces like thick grass or dark soil will limit the amount of reflected light and reduce the bifacial gain.
