Lightweight and powerful solar panels built to last
The Judge @thejudge
Our high-quality 170w fixed solar panels will fit neatly on the roof of a 4wd, caravan, camper trailer or boat. Being only 17mm high, they are aerodynamic and weigh about 30% less than regular 30mm high fixed panels.
The A-grade monocrystalline solar cells are protected by 3.2mm tempered low-iron glass, which is optically clear. The all-black frame, cells and substrate look incredible on any vehicle.
The panels come with a 0.8m cable terminated with industry-standard MC4 connectors, which are waterproof and will not come apart once connected. We have also developed matching mounting brackets to make it easy to fix your panels in place.
With a 10 year warranty backed by Hardkorr’s reputation for quality, you can’t go wrong with these solar panels. Start powering your adventure from the sun for free today!

Bought one of these yesterday from Snowy's Outdoors. Used the fitting kit as well. Had it on my platform in less than an hour. It looks awesome and works great!

Bought one of these panels over 3 years ago and its been rock solid since. Its low profile enabled me to mount it directly to the roof of my canopy whilst staying below the height of my ladder racks and any material ive stacked on top. Whilst being stuck down with Sikaflex 227 and no air gap is not great for efficiency i still see 10A going into the battery in full sun. Would happily buy one again if i need to.

Ive been using two of these ontop of my canopy for about a year. Recently completed the old tele track where they suffered a heap of brushing on trees, corrugations and dust.
Even coated in dust were still putting out almost full amperage, and after a clean not a single scratch or mark on them.
Couldn't be happier with them.

Have got 3 of these panels across 2 vehicles and have been running them for a year and a half now with absolutely no issue and absolute satisfaction. Will buy them again in the future if ever required.
Great quality and even better performance. In full sun 2x panels in parallel produces 20 amps and in shade i still see minimum of 3 amps.

Purchased this panel for my cruiser with a fitting kit, it was easy to install and works well. I found it still works on a cloudy day.
Will have to check out the camping gear now.

I bought two of these panels and installed on my Caravan with a Hardkorr Dc to DC Solar controller. Panels work well with this controller and give excellent amps for charging even on cloudyn days. I can monitor the input on my hardkorr battery monitor.

best solar panel ever. fitted perfectly to the roof rack, slim and black with easy mounting points . quality fittings and construction. Great value Aswell. huge output for its size

Solar panel works great! Keeps my battery at 100% whilst running my fridge near full time with lights and charging batteries! Being Really slim allows me to mount it with the hard-core panel mounts and sits just below my roof racks allowing me to load timber etc. When needed without the panel getting In the way. Extremely happy for the amount paid!

Arrived in a timely manor with great connections easy to install and charges up my Lithium battery a treat without me raising a finger

This is the best panel on the market in its size. The thin style is the best as it fits nicely on our vehicle and is not as visible as the thicker types on the market. Unit functions well and keeps our 120 amp hr lithium battery running a 65 litre fridge charged without problem.

Really happy with the solar panel. Had it charging our 100ah battery no worries.

Absolutely awesome panel runs 60 litre fridge 24/7 with 120 ah lithium battery previously used blankets this makes life so simple!

Performs great, looks great in black on the black rhino cross bars. Unfortunately the bolts in the HardKorr solar mounting kit are too big to fit through the pre-drilled holes in the panel so, I had to drill out the mounting holes. Would understand if I bought a different brand solar mounting kit, but some poor QA and one department not talking to another.

Put 2 in parallel through 148ah battery am running 2x 12v fridges, fan, and lights have not needed power backup yet. Panels are super thin black looks shmikk. Would recommend.

Awesome panel, light weight and produces consistently even in overcast conditions. Maintains my 48hr lithium battery via an mppt controller running Ute fridge and canopy lights no problem.
Highly recommend, service was quick and professional.

fantastic product and Amazing customer service and support, thank you for the great product. Ian

This solar panel is crazy good for the price. Its costs a little bit more than they ebay no name ones but boy does it perform. My DC Charger hit 14.3 volts as soon as i plugged this in, not on of my cheaper solar panels has managed to get the voltage this high. Even in overcast conditions im still getting 2A. Highly recommend. Installation was easy with brackets but like previous review you do need to drill a extra couple holes due to it not lining up with roof racks, but easy to do.

I got this solar panel to feed my HardKorr Lithium battery & box.
Mounting it to roof racks was easy with their mounting brackets, just needed a couple of extra location holes to suit rack spacing.
It keeps battery charged via my dcdc, so it's always ready when it needs to be used.
The low profile reduces weight & wind resistance.
Just ask them about connection extension leads available, before you buy panel.
You Won't Regret Your Purchase.
