Portable solar panel storage

I use the foam padding that they shipped with the panels, put it in between the glass and put them in a sleepingbag.

I just purchased a portable/folding solar system.

A tip from another site recommended a surfing "body board" as they come in different sizes, colors and are well padded for storage.

Go online and find em. I paid not more than $45.

Our system fits perfect in it, has two large storage compartments, can carry it on your back like a backpack or sling over shoulder. Also has heavy duty zippers.

Was so glad to run into this tip.

Makes folding solar systems so much easier to deal with. Store it behind galley sofa and can't see it and is safe.

Best of Luck

Renogy has a 100 watt suitcase panel kit with charge controller and a nice heavy duty case to carry them in they fold in half and have adjustable legs , bought ours at amazon and has worked out well. We store them in the basement storage of our fifth wheel no problems so far.

For those who own a travel trailer I would think laying portable solar panels on the bed during travel would be the easiest and safest solution. :)

Thanks Oz. Based on your reply, I am thinking I might use the front pass through storage. One of the doors will fit the panels. I am thinking I might store the bottom one glass side up and the top one glass side down with a pad between them. Then maybe a chunk of lightweight plywood and then some items on top of them that I use pretty much every trip, such as landing gear pads, power cord, other solar items, etc. Thanks for getting me thinking!!

I put mine face down on the carpet in the basement. It fits right through the smaller access door. Once in I just stack all my camping chairs on top of it. Been doing it this way for 2 years and traveled all sorts of roads. Works great for me.

I believe I could even store it face up based on the allowed loads but I believe it would scratch the glass as things shift.
