This solar panel consists of an array of solar modules providing 15 Watts of charging power to the 12 Volt SLA battery. Coop Tender controls the battery charge so that it does not overcharge or charge too quickly.
Solar panel comes un-mounted. It may be mounted to the mounting board of your coop door if it faces south, or install in a suitable south-facing location.
Coop Tender incorporates a built-in charge controller to ensure that battery overcharging does not occur.
