The Best Low-Cost Domestic Renewable Energy Resources Reviewed.

Sunforce Solar

This article is all about the low-cost domestic solar power manufacturer Sunforce. Sunforce is a relatively small private company with offices in North America, Europe and Asia. The company was established in 2005 and currently has around 50 employees.

Sunforce is one of the many manufacturers to have operations based in China in order to offer cheap solar panels to the end user.

It is precisely these sorts of companies which are helping to bring the cost of solar panels down, making it even more appealing for you to get solar panels for your home.

Here at Off The Grid Homes, we highly encourage all American home owners to build your own solar panel system and by using products like those from Sunforce, it makes the job even easier and is getting cheaper by the day.
 

Sunforce 12 Volt Battery Chargers

Sunforce 50033

The Sunforce 50033 15 Watt Solar Charging Kit is one of the many solar panel 12v chargers produced by Sunforce and is also the most popular model.

The range of 12v chargers from Sunforce are designed to power up your batteries when on the move such as when camping, boating, driving your REV or for your 'off the grid' cabin. When bought from Amazon the Sunforce 50033 charger comes with a 7 amp charge controller, mounting frame and wiring kit giving you everything you need. Some reviewers did find that there was some soldering required to terminate some of the wiring, which is a downside.
 

Sunforce 50048

The Sunforce 50048 60 Watt Solar Charging Kit is the premier 12v solar charging model giving the most amount of power and capable of charging your 12v battery as well as you laptop, phone, camera,and any other small appliances that you run.

One of the helpful solar panel reviews did mention that the PVC piping around the edges does become brittle over time due to sun damage. They did also mention that if you use a paint or protective coating on the PVC this should stop this from occurring.
 

Sunforce 50022

The Sunforce 50022 5 Watt Solar Battery Trickle Charger is the smallest portable charger from Sunforce. It doesn't produce as much power as the other larger solar chargers, but the advantage of this unit is the price as well a the portability. It's cheap enough not to worry too much if it gets stolen or breaks and can be carried around and mounted very easily.

Sunforce Charge Controllers

Sunforce 60032

The Sunforce 60032 30 Amp Solar Charge Controller is the larger of the two solar chargers from Sunforce. A solar charger is important because it prevents your solar panels from over charging your batteries and other devices. Over charging can damage your batteries so a solar charger is quite important.

The Sunforce 60032 unit can handle up to 500 watts of solar power so it's a good choice if you think you might upgrade or add-to your system in the future.
 

Sunforce 60031

The Sunforce 60031 10 Amp Digital Charge Controller is great for if you just plan to run one or two panels. It's quite a bit cheaper than the 30 amp model and had received great reviews.
