[QUOTE="condor22, post: 115476, member: 1932"] There are a number of pros and cons re solar and how you use them...... Fixed panel/s on the roof of a camper, caravan or car - Pro - Once installed no more work to set it up. More secure. Con - You need to park in the sun, so the whole van or vehicle is in the sun and if on a roof rack you lose the carry space. Usually mounted horizontal (not the best angle to maximise output). Portable folding panel - Pro - You can park in the shade and run the cable to the panel which is in the sun. Allows you to move to face the sun 3-4 times a day and angled from horizontal. Con - You need to carry the panel somewhere, its less secure and takes more effort to set up. Plus, beware the gum tree if parking in shade. [/QUOTE]
