Raising the panel slightly off the roof on standard feet, rather than bonding it flush, allows reflected light to reach the rear cells and lets you capture more of the available bifacial gain. A white or light-coloured roof surface reflects more light than a dark one, further improving the effect.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"background:#008377CF; color:#fff; padding:10px 14px; cursor:pointer; font-weight:bold; border-radius:4px;\"\u003eCan this kit charge a 24V battery system?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:10px 14px;\"\u003eThe SmartSolar MPPT 75\/15 auto-detects and supports both 12V and 24V battery banks. However, this panel is rated for 12V nominal use; for a 24V system you would typically wire two panels in series, keeping the combined open-circuit voltage safely under the controller's 75V limit.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"background:#008377CF; color:#fff; padding:10px 14px; cursor:pointer; font-weight:bold; border-radius:4px;\"\u003eDoes this kit include everything needed to mount the panel?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:10px 14px;\"\u003eYes. The kit includes a mounting set with 4 plastic corner brackets, 2 side brackets and a 3–7mm double-entry cable gland for a weatherproof cable pass-through. Fitting the panel with a small air gap beneath it, where the mounting surface allows, is also recommended to help realise the bifacial yield benefit.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"background:#008377CF; color:#fff; padding:10px 14px; cursor:pointer; font-weight:bold; border-radius:4px;\"\u003eHow do I monitor the system once it's installed?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:10px 14px;\"\u003eThe SmartSolar MPPT 75\/15 has built-in Bluetooth, so you can pair it with the free VictronConnect app on a smartphone or tablet to view real-time charging data, battery voltage, daily energy yield and historical charging stage information — no separate display or shunt is required.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"background:#008377CF; color:#fff; padding:10px 14px; cursor:pointer; font-weight:bold; border-radius:4px;\"\u003eWhat size battery bank can this kit support?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:10px 14px;\"\u003eA 200W panel through a 15A MPPT controller is well suited to leisure battery banks up to around 250Ah at 12V for light-to-moderate daily loads such as LED lighting, USB charging, water pumps and a small 12V TV.
