I wonder if some of you folks who understand solar power, controllers, and the like would mind having a look at the following specs.
I'm going to get a 50 watt solar panel (& controller, etc.) for the roof of my truck camper to keep one 12 volt battery topped up at sites with no shore power. But I don't want to affix it up there permanently. I'll keep it inside and only deploy it, if and when required.
On Amazon, there is a flexible one, quite a bit lighter and easier to carry up the ladder, rather than a metal framed glass panel. I worry that with it, I'll lose performance; I don't understand the specs. Here they are:
Glass panel / metal frame -- approx. 10 pounds -- specs
Flexible panel -- approx. 3 pounds -- specs
The flexible panel is $20 more -- is it's performance vs the glass/metal panel significantly less? Any other concerns about the flex panel versus the glass/metal?
Thanks...
