Small Solar Panels
5 W and 20 W modules for battery maintenance and light off-grid duty.
Small Solar Panels Range
The small end of the range: 5 W and 20 W modules in 12 V and 24 V nominal, including a monocrystalline 20 W. These are battery-maintenance and small-load panels — gate openers, weather towers, garden lighting, a leisure battery that has to survive the winter.
BSM005P-TBSM005P-T 5 W Multicrystalline Solar Module
A 5 W 12 V multicrystalline module for battery maintenance, remote gates and garden lighting.

Why This Range Exists
The problem on site
- A battery left standing self-discharges and sulphates long before anyone notices
- Running a supply cable to a remote gate or instrument costs more than the instrument
- Portable panels only work when somebody remembers to put them out
- Controllers get specified from the wrong figure and fail on the first bright day
How this range answers it
- 5 W to 20 W modules sized for maintenance and light off-grid duty
- 12 V and 24 V nominal, including a slim 17 mm monocrystalline option
- Open circuit voltage and short circuit current published so fusing can be sized properly
- Listed applications include remote gates, weather towers and garden lighting

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which part numbers are in Small Solar Panels?
4: BSM005P-T, BSM020P-T, BSM020P-N and BSM020M. Each has its own page with dimensions, materials and packing.
How are these packed for export?
Modules are packed to protect the glass and the frame in transit. Ask us for carton dimensions, gross weight and pallet configuration for your quantity.
How do I choose between the items in this group?
5 W and 20 W modules for battery maintenance and light off-grid duty. If you send us the panel and the surface, we will tell you which part number to order.
What do I need to send you for a quotation?
The part numbers and quantities, the destination port, and the panel you are mounting if you are not certain which item fits. That is normally enough to quote in one exchange.
