Q: How big a solar panel do I need for my caravan?

A: The most common size we recommend for a small van or camper trailer is an 80 watt panel. These come in 2 basic design's, fixed panel which can be mounted on the roof or remain portable. The other common type and ideal for camping is a fold up panel with a built in regulator, ideal in that it folds up and can be stored easily. The advantage of a portable panel over a fixed unit is that it can be put in the sun and angled to achieve the maximum sun on to its surface.
