Solar Module
 

The solar module is a stand alone system. It consists of a photovoltaic panel, a regulator, a deep cycle sealed lead acid AGM battery and a modified sine wave inverter. Please click here to view a video showing how the system functions. The solar system you require will depend on the amount of sun you recieve at your residence and the daily usage of your bicycle. If you do not have an area to install the panel which recieves over 6 hours of sun each day then you will likely be better off charging your bicycle from the mains power outlet - you can still purchase green energy!

If you wish to run your bike on solar energy and have that wonderful feeling of knowing that the sunshine is powering your daily transport then we can provide you with high quality components at very competitive costs. Our recommended systems for Australian residents are shown below.

Prices of all solar module components are shown below include GST. Delivery is free within Perth and $75 for a complete solar system to anywhere else in Australia. Click on the links or images to see further specifications on products. Please note that you should use a 5 amp regulator for 60W-80W panels and a 10amp regulator for the 135W panel.
