Victron 235W Monocrystalline Solar Panel 72-Cell | SPM042357204

The Victron Energy 235W monocrystalline solar panel is a 72-cell module built for off-grid systems, battery charging arrays and commercial installations. It measures 1350 x 880 x 30mm and weighs 12.48kg, making it a practical choice where roof or ground space is limited.

Key features

• Peak power, 235W from a 72-cell monocrystalline silicon configuration.
• Dimensions, 1350 x 880 x 30mm.
• Weight, 12.48kg, suited to standard roof mounting structures.
• Cell type, monocrystalline silicon, cut from a single crystal structure.
• Series, part of Victron Energy's Series 4d panel range.
• SKU, SPM042357204, GTIN 8719076079453.

Product overview

The 72-cell layout is a commercial format producing a higher open-circuit voltage than the 60-cell panels common in residential arrays. This makes it a fit for systems using MPPT charge controllers or inverter-chargers set up for higher string voltages. Installers should check string voltage calculations against the charge controller or inverter's input specification before finalising an array design.

At 30mm frame depth, the panel works with most standard aluminium rail mounting systems. The Series 4d designation marks a defined generation in Victron's panel catalogue, useful for keeping specification consistent across multi-panel orders.

Applications

• Off-grid battery charging with Victron MPPT charge controllers.
• Remote power for telecoms, agricultural and rural sites.
• Marine and motorhome arrays where weight and footprint matter.
• Commercial rooftop or ground-mount arrays needing consistent panels across a large order.
• Hybrid and backup systems paired with Victron MultiPlus or Quattro inverter-chargers.

What's in the box

• 1 x Victron Energy 235W 72-cell monocrystalline solar panel (Series 4d)

Installation notes

Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer. The 72-cell format produces higher string voltages than 60-cell panels, so string voltage must stay within the maximum input rating of the connected charge controller or inverter. Grid-connected installations require G98 or G99 compliance and DNO notification. Mounting structures must be rated for the panel's weight plus site wind and snow loading, and DC wiring should use MC4 or compatible connectors rated for outdoor solar use.
