that will be the one produced by the leprechaun company (y):LOL:
I don't think you need worry to much about the type of panel.. a bit thought about the type of controller you buy may pay more dividends... they say an mppt controller will give a better return in poorer conditions..

Easy Peasy... fitted solar panel and plug it directly to a 12v sunlamp and direct said lamp at panel and you have power in clouds and even when dark..😎😎😎😎😎😎
Sorry being facetious.. as Andy 63 says it is really the controllers that make the difference..

Don't forget the dark light conversion kit so it charges at night also(y)

Not here yet but not an impossibility - thermoradiative cells built into solar panels!!


As Andy63 pointed out the controller is very important and MPPT controllers have a reputation for better power generation in low light conditions. Based in south of Ireland and changed from a SunSaver Duo to a Victron 75/15 and very happy.

Monocrystaline panels work better when light levels are low but I'm not sure the difference is significant. The main advantage of monocrystaline panels is they are slightly smaller which makes a difference if space is tight on the roof.😀

Some sensible people!! 😄
Was waiting for the inflatable dartboard suggestion 🙄
The kit I ordered is mono with the victron controller so fingers crossed it'll work out! Thanks everyone (nearly!) 😁
