Bimble Solar bargains
Open-box and clearance solar kit, rescanned every day. Bimble quietly discounts ex-display gear and it sells out within days, so this page watches their clearance listing for you.
This week's pick: Bimble has a Victron Inverter Compact 12/1600 at 11% off - only one in stock, and Victron rarely discounts new, so ex-display is the cheapest route. There is also a 12V 210W portable folding panel with SunPower Maxeon cells at 42% off (£162.50 ex VAT, two left), which is the one to grab if you are building a camper or shed setup. The full live list is below with every column sortable.
Deals of the week
Updated 13 August 2026. Hand-picked from today's scan - the ones worth your time, with the context the table does not give you.
Victron Inverter Compact 12/1600
Open box 11% off
£329.17 ex VAT (was £370.83). One unit only. This is a 1.3kW continuous, 12V VE.Bus inverter - the sweet spot for a small off-grid shed or camper build where you want proper sinewave output and VE.Bus monitoring without paying for a MultiPlus. At 11% off it is not a massive discount, but Victron kits almost never drops new, so open box is realistically the cheapest you will see one.

Clearance 42% off
£162.50 ex VAT (was £282.50). Two left. SunPower Maxeon Gen5 cells are top-tier for portable panels - high efficiency in poor light, tough, and light enough to actually carry. At 210W this is enough to charge a 12V battery bank in a day for a camper or off-grid weekend setup. The folding design means it packs flat, no permanent mounting needed.

View at Bimble Solar105W Folding Solar Panel (SunPower Maxeon)
Clearance 51% off
£79.17 ex VAT (was £162.50). The smaller sibling of the 210W above. Same Maxeon Gen5 cells, half the output. Ideal for topping up a leisure battery or running small 12V loads. Over half price off and these move fast - last week's equivalent sold out within 48 hours.

View at Bimble SolarNot sure what you need? The 210W panel suits a camper or shed with a 100-200Ah battery bank. The 105W is better for a single battery top-up or a small off-grid lighting circuit. The Victron inverter is for someone who already has panels and a battery and needs 230V output. If you are starting from scratch, use the solar calculator to work out what size system you actually need before buying parts you cannot use.
Pick of the current deals
Biggest reductions first. Open box means ex-display or a customer return: full warranty, tatty box, usually one in stock. The complete list, including items Bimble has not photographed, is in the table below, and every column there sorts.
Victron reductions
Pulled out on its own because Victron almost never gets discounted new, so an ex-display unit is usually the only way to pay less than list.

Tap any column heading to re-sort. All prices ex VAT, exactly as Bimble Solar lists them; VAT is added at their checkout. Stock on open-box items is usually one or two units, so they go quickly.
Recently gone
Deals that sold out or came off offer in the last 30 days, with the price they went for, so you can see the kind of thing that turns up and how fast it goes.
How this page works
No hand-curation and no stale screenshots. These are the actual rules the script runs on, so you can judge how much to trust the numbers.
Scanned once a day
A script reads Bimble Solar's own special offers listing, records every item with a genuine reduction, and rewrites this page. The Last Checked date is the real scan date.
Ranked by discount
Sorted by the percentage off Bimble Solar's own list price, biggest first. Anything whose sale price is not actually below list price is thrown out rather than padded in.
Prices exactly as listed
Ex VAT, matching Bimble Solar's own display, so the percentage is like for like. We do not republish their VAT-inclusive figure because it does not compute at 20 percent.
Worth knowing before you buy. The percentage is against Bimble Solar's list price, not the cheapest price in the UK. On small parts it is worth a quick check elsewhere. Where open box genuinely wins is Victron, Pylontech and Sunsynk kit, which almost never gets discounted new. Open box stock is usually one unit, so if something suits you, it will not wait.
Frequently asked questions
What does open box mean at Bimble Solar?
It is stock that cannot be sold as sealed new: ex-display units, customer returns, or items with damaged packaging. The hardware works and still carries its manufacturer warranty. The catch is quantity, usually one or two units, so open box listings disappear quickly.
Are these prices including VAT?
No. Every price here is ex VAT, exactly as Bimble Solar lists it, so the discount percentage is a fair like-for-like comparison against their own list price. VAT is added at their checkout. Solar panels and batteries installed in a UK home currently qualify for zero rated VAT, but loose components bought on their own usually do not.
How often is this page updated?
Once a day, by script, as part of the same daily job that maintains the rest of this site. The date in the Last Checked box is the real scan date rather than a hand-edited one.
Why are sold out items still listed?
Because it tells you something useful. A deal that vanished in a day shows how fast this stock moves. Items stay in Recently Gone for about a month after they come off offer, clearly marked as unavailable, then drop off.
Is a discount here automatically a good price?
Not automatically. The figure shown is against Bimble Solar's own list price, which is not the same as the best price on the UK market. For anything over about a hundred pounds, spend two minutes price checking elsewhere first.
Do you make money if I buy something?
Yes. Links to Bimble Solar on this page carry our affiliate code, so we may earn a commission on a sale at no extra cost to you. It does not change the prices you see, and it does not decide what appears here: the list is generated from their clearance feed by script, in discount order, with no manual picking.
Not sure what you actually need yet?
Work out your system size and payback first, then come back and see whether the parts you need happen to be reduced. Buying a bargain you cannot use is not a bargain.
