Overview

The SP20 is a 20 W solar panel. It is often used for system configurations that have higher-than-average power requirements, or in higher elevation and latitude locations. It connects to Campbell Scientific power supplies and battery bases to recharge the battery, and it allows unattended operation of systems in remote locations that are far from ac electrical sources.

Technical Description

The SP20's 15-ft cable has stripped and tinned leads that connect to the PS150, PS200, CH150, CH200, or battery base of the CR3000, CR5000, CR7, CR9000X, CR6, or CRVW3. A 788 connector must be soldered onto the solar panel leads to use the SP10 with a 21XL rechargeable base.

Included mounting hardware consists of two part no. 17492 U-bolt and matching nuts. The U-bolt has a 5.398 cm (2.125 in.) space between the U-bolt legs. This hardware allows the solar panel to be mounted to a 0.75-1.5 in. IPS pipe [25.4-50.8 cm (1-2 in.) OD].

Benefits

Supplies electrical power in locations where ac power is unreliable, expensive, or not available
Recharges the sealed rechargeable battery of a PS150, PS200, BP12 (requires CH150 or CH200), BP24 (requires CH150 or CH200), CR3000, CR5000, CR6, or CRVW3
