The AIMS Power Scorpion Frontier Solar Kit (FCSCORPION) is an easy solar starter kit that pairs solar charging with battery storage. It includes two 100W slim and narrow monocrystalline solar panels, a 30 amp PWM solar charge controller, a 12V 100Ah AGM deep cycle battery rated at 1.28 kWh, a charge controller to battery fuse, an inline solar fuse, PV wire extenders, an MC4 type entry gland and mounting brackets.
AIMS designed the Scorpion for RVs, vans, buses and small off-grid setups. It keeps your battery charged and ready during travel or storage, and the included battery gives you stored power for small loads when the sun isn't shining. There's no inverter in this kit. AIMS notes you can add one later, or another battery for longer run time.
Each PV100MLONG panel measures 43 7/8 x 17 7/8 x 1 1/8 inches and weighs 13 lb. The narrow shape suits space conscious installs, and AIMS says to plan on about 11 square feet for both panels. Each panel is rated at 100 watts with 19.8% module efficiency, a tempered glass front and an IP65 junction box.
The SCC30APWM controller uses 3-stage PWM charging with bulk, boost and float modes. Its LCD shows real-time battery voltage, PV voltage and charging current, and it adds a DC load port, a 5VDC 1A USB port and battery temperature compensation. It works on 12V or 24V systems and supports sealed, gel, AGM, flooded, LiFePO4 and Li(NiCoMn)O2 batteries.
The AGM12V100A is a valve regulated 12V 100Ah deep cycle battery that AIMS rates at 1.28 kWh. AIMS says its extra thick plates are built for repeated charge and discharge cycles. It ships with 6 ft cables, and the spec sheet lists a 30A maximum charging current.
The controller manual lists protection against PV short circuit, PV and battery reverse polarity, night reverse charging, battery over voltage, battery over discharge, load short circuit, load overload and controller overheating.
AIMS calls the Scorpion fully expandable. Add an inverter to build a complete off-grid or mobile power system, or add another battery for longer run time.
Camper vans and small travel trailers. AIMS lists 12V power for a compressor fridge, roof fans and LED lights.
Weekend cabins and backyard sheds. Support short stays with lighting, phone charging and a small inverter.
Small boats and sailboats. AIMS names basic marine electronics, bilge pumps and navigation lights.
Remote security and ranch systems. Power security cameras, routers and motion sensors, or automatic gate openers, electric fencing and livestock waterers.
Emergency home backup. Keep phones, tablets and emergency radios powered during an outage.
A panel and controller kit charges a battery you already own. The Scorpion includes a 100Ah AGM battery with cables, so you have stored power right out of the box and fewer parts to source.
A panel wired straight to a battery has no charge control. The Scorpion's PWM controller manages bulk, boost and float charging and stops charging at its over voltage disconnect point to prevent damage from over-charging.
AIMS provides a wiring diagram upon purchase. The manual says to install the controller out of direct sunlight, high heat and wet areas with good ventilation, and to connect the battery first, then the PV array, then the load. Install the battery fuse as close to the battery as possible, within 6 inches. If you add an inverter, connect it directly to the battery, not to the controller's load port. On a 12V system the controller lists a PV max input voltage of 23V, so wire the panels as AIMS's diagram shows.
This kit delivers 12V DC power. To run standard household appliances, you'll need to add an inverter. The Outbound Power team can help you choose one that fits the system.
No. The kit covers solar charging and battery storage. AIMS notes that an inverter can be added to build a complete off-grid or mobile power system.
AIMS says to plan on about 11 square feet for the two panels.
The manual lists sealed, gel, AGM, flooded, LiFePO4 and Li(NiCoMn)O2 batteries, plus a user setting. Sealed is the default.
AIMS lists the kit warranty as 2 to 25 years, product specific. The controller manual states a 2 year warranty from the date of purchase.
The AIMS Power Scorpion Frontier Solar Kit brings two slim 100W panels, a 30 amp PWM controller and a 1.28 kWh AGM battery together with the fuses and wiring to connect them. If you'd like help planning the install, sizing an inverter or adding a battery, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
