Overview
The SP10-PW is a 10 W photovoltaic power source capable of recharging batteries. Its 6.1 m (20 ft) cable terminates in a connector that attaches to a Campbell Scientific prewired enclosure. The connector in the enclosure then leads to a power supply or battery base to recharge the battery, allowing unattended operation of systems in remote locations, far from ac electrical sources.
This solar panel has a sufficient charging source for many of our system configurations in tropical to temperate latitudes.

- Supplies electrical power in locations where ac power is unreliable, expensive, or not available
- Quick, secure connection to Campbell prewired enclosures for more efficient setup
- Recharges the sealed rechargeable battery of a PS150, PS200, BP12 (requires CH150 or CH200), BP24 (requires CH150 or CH200), CR3000, CR5000, CR6, or CRVW3
Detailed Description
The SP10-PW includes mounting hardware consisting of one pn 17492 U-bolt and matching nuts. The U-bolt has a 5.398 cm (2.125 in.) space between the U-bolt legs. This hardware allows the solar panel to be mounted to a 0.75 in. to 1.5 in. IPS pipe [25.4 to 50.8 cm (1 to 2 in.) OD].

Regulators control the current flowing to the battery and prevent the battery current from flowing to the charging source. These solar panels do not include an on-board voltage regulator, so a stand-alone regulator would be required to complete a power supply.
Typically, these solar panels are connected to a CH100, CH200, PS100, or PS200, as well as to the battery base of a CR3000 or CR5000. The PS100 and the PS200, as well as the battery base of the CR3000 and CR5000, include an internal regulator.
