In June and July the sun is overhead most of the day so flat panels work fine. There is plenty of sunlight in April, May and August but I do try to position my portable 100 watt panel to face the sun if I am in camp. A 100 watt panel laying flat kept my fridge running for 8 days while parked in Whitehorse. I left it parked while away for that time. That was the middle of August and it did rain a few days while I was gone, I only went to solar because I leave my camper parked in remote places unattended and want the fridge to stay alive while I am gone. Come September, once you start using the heater and lights, you will still need to run the generator to keep the batteries up. November through March just keep pouring the fuel in the generator and buy an electric blanket. Have fun.
