Allows siting far from ac sources
Overview
The SP30R-L10 is a 30W photovoltaic module capable of recharging batteries as a part of a complete power supply. It has an on-board voltage regulator. It is often used for system configurations that have higher-than-average power requirements, or in higher elevation and latitude locations. Its 10 ft cable has leads that connect directly to a 12 V Gel Cell or AGM lead acid battery. The SP30R-L10 has a sufficient charging source for most of our system configurations in northern latitudes. It allows unattended operation of systems in remote locations, far from AC electrical sources.

Detailed Description
The SP30R-L10 includes the C1286 Mounting Kit for attaching the solar panel to a tripod or tower mast. The mounting hardware consisting of a mounting bracket with U-bolt and matching nuts. The U-bolt has a 2 inch space between the U-bolt legs. This hardware allows the solar panel to be mounted to a 0.75 in. to 1.5 in. IPS pipe [25.4 to 50.8 cm (1 to 2 in.) OD].
