Solar panels for a 1993 Talbot Express Rambler.

Want as much power as poss on the front section of roof but it's all wonky. Advice please?

Buy a generator?

When you say wonky, could you be more specific do you mean it has an overact bump? a photo might help. whatever you manage to fit make sure you use a MPPTregulator that will increase your power output.

And whatever you do don't buy a generator Eddie was only joking.

sussed the weight of a generator could be an issue never mind the wind resistance....

will try and organise pics as soon as I can borrow a trampoline...

DenDastardly is this like yours ? A flexible one would glue nicely onto the upper slope, but you'd need to park up facing the sun.

If it is like that you're stuff for fitting any really worthwhile sized panels.

Pics of the wonky roof - think Kryten from Red Dwarf...

two taken standing on a wall risking life and limb... the one from the front doesn't show the point at the middle very well but it is kinda subtle.

Reckon the panels you clag on will be more appropriate than framed ones...

The flexible ones I've fitted in the past will handle that contour ok, just hold them in place with some duct tape while the adhesive sets or you might find you have a new sun visor ! Definitely going to have to park up facing the sun for the best results though and don't buy Biard flexible panels, both of mine failed within 2 years.
