Welcome to Extra Solar Panel Kit
(product no. 6616)
The Extra Solar Panel Kit allows you to add a second charging panel to a Solar
Power Kit (product numbers 6612 & 6614) for low light, low charging locations.
The kit’s weather-resistant shelter has been carefully designed to allow for the
mounting of all Davis weather station consoles and Envoys. It can also be used to
supply extra power to Vantage Connect. The weather resistant housing can also be
used to house batteries or other field equipment.
