Mercedes Marco Polo Solar Panel Kit

Drill free bolt on kit for the Mercedes Marco Polo campervan.

 A kit that requires NO DRILLING AT ALL. £429 for a complete 100W kit (produces 5.4 charging Amps in good summer sun with an MPPT charger). There is also the option to go for two panels giving you 200 Watts of solar power (10.8 Amps).

Kit Details:

Due to customer requests, we've created a slimline kit that slots into the Marco Polo roof rails with cabling that passes through an existing tailgate grommet - instructions provided). Installed, it is lower than the awning, keeping your total height under 2m.  This kit is designed for both the W447 (2014-present) and the W639 (2003-2014).

 

The kit features:

- Foam backed panel edges to protect paintwork. Black panel with black anodised aluminium frame arms.

- Standard solar cable (stored in space between tailgate and bodywork) OR, upgrade to a curly cable that self retracts when the roof is lowered.

- Easy slide-in system to your existing roof rails.

- Waterproof connector that lives in the roof rail.

- LCD display solar regulator (we recommend the MPPT upgrade for this type of panel which you can select when ordering)

- All cables needed to connect to your leisure battery - simply plugs in the existing hookup charger - no cable cutting at all (piggyback fuse connection with the Viano W639).

- Photo instructions include step by step details on how to route the solar cable through an existing tail gate grommet for a neat installation.

- Can be used with roof bars.

Bongo/Freda 100 Watt Solar Kit

Bolt on kit for Mazda Bongo & Ford Freda

The Bongo kit comprises of: 1x 100w solar panel, 1 x 10 amp LCD Display solar charger regulator, all brackets, bolts, cables, connectors, fuses, and a printed installation manual. 

Select which roof type you have (Most AFT roofs are the standard style (above). Newer Bongos have an obvious raised bump at the rear of the roof  (below)- these require slightly different bracket dimensions). You can also select to upgrade the standard charger to an MPPT charger - see the MPPT page for detailed descriptions.

The Kit:

DIY solar panel installation - installed in 15 minutes. No drilling, No electrical knowledge required, Everything in the kit that you will need. If you are happy to drill a small hole in the AFT roof (which is very easy) then you can easily hide the cable

Whichever installation method you use, the panel can be quickly unplugged, unscrewed, and removed for storage, though it's fine to stay on the roof permanently - it's designed to!

Please note all Bongo panels are now upgraded Monocrystaline all-black panels, as per the image below, and come with a 5 year warranty (years 2-5 RTB).

 

 

The kit comes with everything you need to install it. The panel is pre-edged with a rubberised beading for roof protection and a slip-free installation, plus you get the fixings, brackets, cables, connectors, and a colour printed installation guide which includes a hole cutting template for the MPPT remote LCD panel should you buy the upgrade. 

If you just want to plug in and go then you just run the pre-made cables along the guttering of the bongo and into the bonnet by the passenger wiper. When you have more time you can install the cable under the interior panels - it's a simple case of popping the bottoms off and tucking the wire behind.

The kit includes an advanced solar charger regulator with a built in display which can cycle through several modes. This tells you your battery voltage, and, very interestingly, how much solar power your panel is generating at any given time! (plus you can query your total cumulative solar power figures).

VW T5/T6 Bolt-on Solar Kit (NOT California)

A bolt on, drill free kit for VW T5 and T6 vans - this kit is for regular vans, (NOT VW California vans, please check out other products for a Cali kit)

This kit comes in two flavours:

KIT A) SCS roof mounting system - this kit includes everything you need to mount 1 or 2 panels directly onto a T5/T6 roof, utilising the existing roof bar holes. These holes are usually capped off with plastic threaded bolts which you can remove and then use for the solar panel mounting. This kit includes 1 x 10 amp LCD Display solar charger regulator,  all cables, connectors, fuses, nuts and bolts and a printed step by step installation guide. (produces 5.4 charging Amps in good summer sun with an MPPT charger)

Note: For LWB (Long Wheel Base) vans you must order the "Kit A LWB" Option. Please contact us and we can talk through various options .

KIT B) VW roof preperation rail compatible:  The kit comprises of: 1x 100w ultra-thin solar panel mounted on the T5/T6 specific frame (You must have the VW T5/T6 roof rail slots fitted on your van  (these are NOT included in our kit)- SWB part numbers are: 7H1860181AQZU & 7H1860182AQZU) , 1 x 10 amp LCD Display solar charger regulator,  all cables, connectors, fuses, nuts and bolts and a printed step by step installation guide. (produces 5.4 charging Amps in good summer sun with an MPPT charger)

 

If you select the dual panel 200watt upgrade then an MPPT charger is required regardless, to handle the extra power.

The Kits:

KIT A) This kit comes with our own "SCS solar mounting system". Aluminium bars utilise the existing roof holes to provide horizontal mounting points for the solar panel. The bars come as either a rear mount kit. All the kits use stainless steel fixing bolts, stainless washers, and stainless nuts. The panel is held down tight against the curvature of the roof, sitting on protective foam padding. All the cabling is the same as the Type B kit.

Below is the rear mount option. This occupies the rear two roof bar mounting holes. It is NOT currently compatible with mounting roof bars in the same holes. (note these are production photos so there are some rough edges and the panels do not have their connectors installed).

  

KIT B) We've specifically created a slimline kit that slots into the VW T5/T6 roof rails  with cabling that shuts in the tailgate. (or you can run it through an existing grommet in the tailgate - instructions provided)

It combines the best of both worlds - you get a slimline panel that won't take you over the height limit for French toll roads etc, but it doesn't need bonding to your roof. This is the same as the California kit, but with different mounting brackets, longer frame bars, and longer cables.

The panel measures, at it's highest point, 18mm. Beacuse the roof is curved, it acually measure less than that. If you have an awning fitted, this panel actually protrudes less in height.

The kit features: (A and B)

- Foam backed panel edges to protect paintwork.

- Easy slide-in system to your existing roof rails (or supplied SCS rails with kit A).

- Waterproof connector that lives in your roof rail, or under the panel.

- LCD display solar regulator (we recommend the MPPT upgrade for this type of panel which you can select when ordering)

- All cables needed to connect to your leisure battery.

- Can be used with roof bars.

 

Below: 2024 100W Dual EFTE panel which comes with a 3 year warranty (years 2 & 3 RTB). Black on black with black anodised arms.

Check out the charger page for details on more advanced MPPT chargers

The standard kit has a flat cable that is pushed into the space between the tailgate and the bodywork when the roof is down - this excess cable is required to allow the roof to lift. A new option we now offer is a stretching curly cord. No need to tuck any cable away when the roof is lowered.
