You can purchase the TOPCon+ Fixed Solar Panel range directly online through our website, call our sales team on (07) 3123 4715, or find a KickAss retail store near you.

TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is a cutting-edge solar cell technology. Our KickAss TOPCon+ panels are engineered to outperform traditional PERC panels in several key areas:

• Higher Efficiency: They convert a greater percentage of sunlight into usable power, giving you more watts per square metre.
• Superior Low-Light Performance: They generate more power on overcast days and during early morning or late afternoon hours.
• Improved Temperature Coefficient: They maintain higher efficiency in the hot Australian climate, where other panels lose significant output.
• Lower Degradation: TOPCon+ cells have a much lower annual power degradation rate, meaning they will produce more power over their entire lifespan.

You can view and download the official user manual here. We recommend bookmarking our online user manuals for future reference. 

Below is a comparison of the key technical specifications for the TOPCon+ fixed panel range. For complete details, always refer to the product data sheet.

To extract the maximum energy from these high-performance panels, an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar charge controller is essential. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controllers are not recommended as they cannot efficiently handle the output of TOPCon+ panels, resulting in significant power loss.

The controller's current rating (e.g., 20A, 40A) must be sized to handle the total solar array output. Contact our team if you need assistance sizing a controller for your system.

KickAss TOPCon+ panels feature a robust, corrosion-resistant aluminium frame with pre-drilled mounting holes for secure installation. You will need a suitable mounting kit (such as the KickAss Solar Mounting Kit, sold separately) to fasten the panel to your roof or rack.

Panels can be wired in series or parallel, depending on your system requirements.

• Parallel Connection (Most common for 12V systems): Connect all positive (+) terminals together and all negative (-) terminals together. This increases the total current (Amps) while keeping the voltage the same. This is ideal for charging 12V battery banks.
• Series Connection: Connect the positive (+) of one panel to the negative (-) of the next. This increases the total voltage while keeping the current the same. This method is typically used for charging 24V or 48V battery banks.

Safety Warning: Before connecting panels in series, you must check the maximum open-circuit voltage (Voc) rating of your MPPT charge controller. Exceeding this voltage will permanently damage the controller.

Yes. For safety, an appropriately rated fuse or DC circuit breaker must be installed on the positive line between your solar array and the solar charge controller. This protects your system from overcurrent conditions and short circuits. The fuse rating should be selected based on the total short-circuit current (Isc) of your solar array.

Absolutely. These panels are the perfect match for integrated KickAss power systems like the PowerBoss and the 12V Control Hub. The high-efficiency MPPT solar regulators built into these units are specifically designed to maximise the energy harvest from advanced solar technologies like TOPCon+.

Yes. When connected through a suitable MPPT solar charge controller, the TOPCon+ range can safely and efficiently charge all common 12V battery chemistries, including:

• LiFePO₄ (Lithium)
• AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat)
• GEL
• Flooded Lead-Acid

Always ensure your MPPT controller is configured with the correct charging profile for your specific battery to ensure safety and maximise battery lifespan.
