There is no Victron Solar Controller in this package, if you are unsure of your solar controller accepting high efficiency PV, please check with your Solar Controller supplier or choose a compatible Victron Smart Solar controller.
The High PV Portable Solar will not function with low efficiency Combo DC to DC Solar Controllers (even if MPPT) nor any PWM controller. Examples are Redarc, Enerdrive, Setec, BMPro and Intervolt. They will only work with high efficiency solar controllers that accept High PV on the PV input: Victron, Mastervolt and Morningstar are examples.
The performance and results have only been tested with Victron Smart Solar controller.
High Performance 175W Portable Solar Panel

Japanese ETFE top layer
High Panel Voltage at 42.8V Voc
3 kg
10m Heavy Duty Extension Cable
10m Security Wire fixed to inside of panel
25mm thin x 550mm x 365mm Folded
3.5 mm thin x 550mm x 2030mm Unfolded
High efficiency Portable Solar operates at a high Panel Voltage (PV):
Early Start, Late Finish. Capture the sun about an hour earlier when the panel is cool for extra solar performance that is not possible with DC-DC/Solar Controller systems.
As the sun’s intensity reduces with cloud cover there is sufficient voltage to charge the batteries.
Less losses with connecting cables as current is 50% less. So you can use 10-20m.
Self Supporting Struts on each Panel Segment:
Struts hinge from panel to ground
Straps connect bottom of struts to rear of panel at ground level
Easy to add pegs for added stability in high wind.
