Shedstore
£989.99

This 120W Solar Energy System serves as an excellent starting point towards achieving self-reliance in power supply for your residence, business, vacation retreat, or any place where power interruptions are common or where the expense of laying mains cables is too high. Equipped with a high-capacity solar panel, battery, charge regulator, and converter, this system can supply power to a variety of household, office, and workplace appliances such as music systems, televisions, gaming consoles, laptops, and power tools.

Installation is straightforward and economical, with no requirement for a certified electrical technician. The system can be easily packed up and moved to a new location if needed.

The solar panel should be situated outdoors and comes with a sturdy aluminum support structure that allows for stable placement on the ground or a flat rooftop. The adjustable stand ensures that the panel is constantly positioned at the ideal angle, regardless of the season. The included cable then connects from the solar panel to the watertight battery enclosure, housing a powerful 85Ah sealed deep-cycle solar battery along with a charge regulator. The cable from the battery then enters the building to link up with the provided power converter. The converter features a UK 3-pin outlet where a multi-outlet power strip (not included) can be connected to power numerous electrical devices simultaneously. In addition, the battery enclosure is equipped with a 12v “power out” plug and receptacle for directly running 12v devices.

This 120w package can generate up to 600 watt-hours per day. The kit includes:

  • 120w solar panel
  • Multi-position aluminum support
  • 85Ah Deep Cycle Battery
  • 300 watt Inverter
  • Watertight Battery Enclosure
  • 20Ah Charge Regulator
  • 20m Cable bundle
  • Power RCD Socket
  • Connectors, fuses, and terminals
  • Digital multi-meter
  • Detailed user manual

This kit can produce up to 600 watt-hours per day, making it ideal for use in homes, garden structures, summer dwellings, and vacation homes. It can power devices like lights, computers, printers, faxes, CD players, and alarm systems for approximately 2 to 4 hours each day.

The multi-position aluminum support enables the solar panel to be positioned at the perfect angle, whether in summer or winter.

Simple to set up without requiring a certified electrician, and the system can be disassembled and relocated as needed.

Please be advised that our installation services for sheds and other garden structures do not cover the setup of solar power systems.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
