I am thinking about buying one of these folding solar panels for use when using CLS with no EHU but would just be occasional use so has anyone got one ?? Are they any good ???
Was thinking about 100watt but would I get away with 80watt don't watch much TV so would be lights pump etc
DittoCan't answer the question cam but will follow the thread with interest, as we are thinking of getting one too.
First question - what battery bank have you got? No point in solar unless you've got something to store the energy you'll produce and you may find that you actually don't need solar at all if you add an extra battery ...I am thinking about buying one of these folding solar panels for use when using CLS with no EHU but would just be occasional use so has anyone got one ??

Have you ever run out of power yet? IF the answer is yes then your first option should be to fit a extra L/B -cost = 75 quidish-£65 for 110amp hr battery and £10 for leads After fitting see if you run out of power Chances are you want one rather than need one and to be honest the cost of panels are falling all the time -£150 or less buys a 100w solar panel with fitting kit so once fitted it won't get nicked not saying your folding one will either but?I am thinking about buying one of these folding solar panels for use when using CLS with no EHU but would just be occasional use so has anyone got one ??

I beg to differ .

Batteries don't have to be the same Your charger/use will only see one bigger battery as such it makes no difference as to a 80 amp coupled to a 110 amp -the thing to watch out for is that both are in good conditionTo try and answer some of the questions
Have only 1x 110amp LB so yes could possibly fit a second BUT always belived batteries have to be same age so would need to buy 2 and yes that would help over the darker months
Have never ran out of power yet BUT only ever had 1 night of Electric so far but would hope to get 2 maybe 3 with existing
As has been said maybe something I fancy rather than need but hope to start getting to various rally's which are all none EHU
