Advent Solar AS50 50W 12V Solar PanelWrite a review

Date Added: May 06, 2009
I bought this panel to use along with the solar attic fan 10watt that I bought from somewhere else(should NOT have bought from somewhere else b/c was more expensive,now I know buy at ALT-E). Anyway the fan works OK with the 10 watt panel on top BUT with it hooked up to the 50 watt panel(which I believe feels like its puttin out 75 watt) makes the fan MUCH more efficient at cooling the attic. I have a thermometer which goes up to 120. before i installed the fan it was pinned at 120 at around 3pm. Now a days its hard to get it above 110 degrees F. I can now actually be in the crawl space and not feel like a baked potatoe. im planning to buy one more fan and solar panel to make the attic probably the same temp as outside all the time. The panel was extremely easy to install and the electrical box on it is water tight. Im looking to buy these panels in a HIGHER wattage. Its now become a hobby collecting solar panels. My next project is to collect enough panels to run my pool filter off the grid ( need about 2000 watts).

Great panel! by John Boone

The Advent was my second panel, purchased to replace an underpowered 15W panel for use with marine batteries for a water circulation project including two 12V diaphragm pumps. the panel is a beautiful blue crystalline color and performs very well. Mounting required a bit of jury-rigging using angle brackets and sheet metal screws, because it comes only with a few small mounting holes on the back that are difficult to access. Nevertheless, the instructions and setup were easy and I've very satisfied with the panel.

This panel is a great deal and it has a unique pretty cool look to it when in the sun... I plan on getting another to add to my off grid system that powers my laptop and most of the things in my bedroom now :)

I used a urirac 48" rail mount so It can hold 2 of these and it works great paired with a 55Ah MK AGM battery and prostar 15 charge controller...
