Suitable solar regulator or compatible MPPT input required
Put the panel in the sun and park in the shade
A sunny stop can do more than give you somewhere nice to sit. The REDARC SMFP1200 folding solar panel lets you put the panel in the sun while keeping your vehicle or campsite where you want it, adding a useful charging source for compatible camping power systems.
SKU: XEISPSMFP1200
Set the panel where the sunshine is
Park somewhere comfortable and put the panel where it gets the sunshine. With suitable extension wiring, the portable design lets you keep your vehicle in shade while the panel sits in the sun. The adjustable legs help you angle it towards the light, and you can reposition it as the sun moves or avoid shade from trees and roof equipment. That helps you make better use of daylight at camp. Extension wiring and a suitable charging system are chosen separately.
Useful charging power, with practical expectations
The panel is rated at 200 W under standard test conditions. Actual output changes with sunlight, temperature, shade and angle. Its 21.45 V open-circuit rating and 18.2 V maximum-power voltage make it suitable for a correctly matched solar regulator or compatible BCDC solar input.
Fold it away for the journey
The anodised aluminium frame protects the panel structure, and the unit folds for transport. It weighs 6.2 kg, with a 300 mm cable lead for connecting the appropriate extension and charging equipment. Pack it securely so the frame and cells are protected from moving luggage.
Choose the right charging connection
Use a suitable solar regulator or MPPT charger between the panel and battery. The REDARC BCDC1225D has a 9-32 V solar input, making it a relevant option for a correctly wired 12 V auxiliary-battery system. Match extension leads, connectors and battery settings to the full installation.

Frequently asked questions
Will it produce 200 W all day?
200 W is the rated output under standard test conditions. Real output varies with sun angle, shade, temperature and daylight. Place it in full sun and adjust its angle to make the most of the available light.
Can I connect it straight to a battery?
No. Use the correct solar regulator or compatible MPPT charger. That controls charging for the battery; the panel alone does not provide the battery's charging profile.
Can I use it with a REDARC BCDC charger?
Its 21.45 V open-circuit voltage is within the 9-32 V solar-input range of the BCDC1225D. Use the correct cables and connections, and match the charger settings to the auxiliary battery.
Can I keep the vehicle in shade?
Yes. You can place this portable panel in a sunnier position using suitable extension wiring. Account for cable length and voltage drop, and keep the panel secure.
How much does it weigh?
It weighs 6.2 kg. The folding design and adjustable legs make it practical to move between storage and a sunny position at camp.
What else do I need?
Choose appropriate extension leads and connectors plus a solar regulator or compatible MPPT charging system. Match everything to your battery and installation rather than connecting the panel as an unregulated supply.
