Opinion on portable/fixed solar panel for our rv?
Hi everyone,
Been looking for a solar solution. Choosing between a fixed and portable system. Pros and cons for both. We don't use a lot of appliances. Just lights in the evening (will be getting LED), and charging up small laptop, iPad, and iPhone. Will run a fantastic fan on hot days. And rarely, the furnace. We often camp in provincial campsites so we do get into a lot of sites that have shade. Thinking the portable would be better for the ability to move panels around in sunny spots.
Anyway found this site, Overland Solar and looking at their 90 watt unit to charge our 2-6 volt batteries. Anyone here have any experience with Overland Solar, or opinions on 90 watt portables?
Ideally? A fixed solar panel that works okay in the shade. But my research online says that is not a realistic expectation.
While I'm at it, I'm open to any solution to suit our requirements that would preferably involve a west coast Canadian company to save on shipping, etc. And I'm open to installing the system myself. Just thinking a "good" rv service centre would be better qualified to do the installation.
Thanks,
Peter
