Brilliant stuff,i bought the thunder after researching a fair bit, I'm a novice, but watching your tests convinced me, paired with a vtoman jump 1000 solar generator and has been working non stop for almost a year but these wise energy could be the go as I'll need to upgrade to a higher capacity battery or solar generator 👍
Your videos have been brilliant so far. If this is your panel, a full disclaimer and the cost and features or lack of (it doesn't seem to have an adjustable angle) would make this video a lot more useful.
Yes I work for Wise Energy, have said that in my video’s basically from the beginning. But this is my channel and use it to give honest reviews so people don’t get caught out buying crap products. No the angle is not adjustable which is no different from a lot of other products on the market. For pricing and other info reach out… email - sales@askwise.com.au. Cheers
@@craigsolaradventuresHi Craig, why did you configure the panels series and the other panels in parallel ? Most people watching wouldn’t have a 48v controller….do the panels show more watts configured this way ? (It’s the only reason I can think of)
"...this is the product we've come up with and we are putting it to market..." so this is your product from your company? I could not find Wise Energy, but I did find Wise Integrated, with an almost identical logo. Is this the company to contact? Thanks.
Hi mate I’ve watched a couple of your vids some over again lol. I have a redarc 25a and installer said don’t need to use a panel it’s regulator as it’s inbuilt . They installed a red Anderson plug and said use the same colour so your not running 2 regulators as it may limit what you get out of the panels. What panels come without the regulator, it’s confusing me lol I wouldn’t mind a thunder 240 if I can find one , was going to go Itech but watched your vids and heard elsewhere about them. Redarc panels to expensive
That is very impressive. Unfortunately my 40A RedArc dcdc charger can only handle 36V. I dare say the 400W would be too big for it. Do they do them in 300W? I know usually 400W panels can put out up to 48V.
Just run the 4 panels in parallel. @ 21.2v open circuit it’s just over 30amp charging a 12.8v battery. The default configuration for the panels is set this way.
@@craigsolaradventures thanks! I will email shortly for more info on the panels. I didn’t know you can change the configuration of the panels between series and parallel.
What are the specs of this panel. From the video, it looks like 65 volts is coming into your charge controllers. I might need to step down the voltage to use it with my Bluetti AC180
I put the panels in series, you could easily configure in parallel if required for 12v battery setups. In fact this is how they are configured out of the box. So 12v , 24v or 48v battery setups are possible. Just be aware of relevant standards and best practice to ensure compliance.
@@craigsolaradventures thanks Craig, do you have the tech specs for these panels. They look great, I am interested in them and would like to support any manufacturer that doesn't inflate output numbers
@@craigsolaradventures Thunder was a brand that was sold in SuperCheapAuto stores at one stage (Don't know if that's still the case). I don't remember seeing solar panels in that brand at my local store, but they were selling their DC-DC chargers.
I had the panel configured in series and not parallel. Advantage this way with higher voltage you could possibly use on 12v , 24v or even 48v battery setups. That said you would need to consider relevant standards and best practice to ensure compliance.

Cool ep and panel Id love 2 or 3 or them if they were cheap enough.
Impressive. What's the cost on one of these?

@@craigsolaradventures very grateful for your previous reviews. They have been superb.
You're getting the W from the Wise panel, but the amps were only 6.47 amps thunder was 15.57amps am i missing something
@@pata8167 yes Voltage , I had the Wise panel configured in 4 x series and not 4 x parallel. Every time you double the voltage you half the amps.
@@craigsolaradventuresHi Craig, why did you configure the panels series and the other panels in parallel ? Most people watching wouldn’t have a 48v controller….do the panels show more watts configured this way ? (It’s the only reason I can think of)
Where did you buy it from?
Hi how does the Wise panel weigh,
Hi Craig, where can i purchase a Wise Energy solar panel from?
"...this is the product we've come up with and we are putting it to market..." so this is your product from your company? I could not find Wise Energy, but I did find Wise Integrated, with an almost identical logo. Is this the company to contact? Thanks.
it is.... sales@askwise.com.au or 1300 368 331
How do you find out more about these and purchase them? The wise energy website doesn’t seem to have it?

Please email
Nice results have tried ringing and contacting Wise but no response can you tell me the price

Can the 400w run off a redarc 25a

@@craigsolaradventures thanks! I will email shortly for more info on the panels. I didn’t know you can change the configuration of the panels between series and parallel.
Looks great. So if all in parallel it should put out over 20A????
400w @ 12.8v = 31.25amp. Open circuit voltage per panel is approx 21v from memory.
62V?
Are all 4 panels in series on this?
Yes, but can easily be configured in parallel if you need… I just did it 4S as it was easy and the results are the same either way.. watts are watts 😉

Hi, whats with the AMP's coming in. 406W, but 6.21amp and the Thunder is 231W at 14.21amps
I had the panel configured in series and not parallel. Advantage this way with higher voltage you could possibly use on 12v , 24v or even 48v battery setups. That said you would need to consider relevant standards and best practice to ensure compliance.
So what amp did the wise give out ??
I need a 300w version, my power station is only rated up to 300W input. Can you drop one panel out and get 300W?
What power station do you have, brand and model ?
@@craigsolaradventures NRG Vault PV1500
Is the angle adjustable with the legs?
No
Where do you buy this panel ?
Wise Energy P/L… sales@askwise.com.au
Can't find any pricing or information on them 😮
