Portable Solar Panels (1 Viewer)

[Yorick]

I've successfully fitted my Biard 150w to the roof and now understand all what is needed to fit.

But I reckon I could do with another 50w to really be sure. I've been looking at these portable ones and they seem quite cheap.

Has anybody bought/used a portable of 5ow or similar ?

All recommendations welcome

We have a very small 13w folding one and have managed to stay off grid for a fortnight just with that! Was in the middle of summer admittedly!

Hi, we never bothered with solar on this motorhome, and had a Stirling battery 2 battery and 3 x 85ah = 255ah battery bank.
This works for us, solar is great if your in one place for a while and the sun shines.
And in winter even here in Spain a panel flat on the roof, and the sun being low you will not get the best results.
We have a 80w panel for the caravan and just stand it against something angled towards the sun.
But the thing with free standing solar panels are someone could steal it. Bob.

We are a long way from affordability having both started from scratch in our late 40's
Retirement will be a while away yet.
