How to choose RV solar panel

The choice of RV solar panel: the competition between hard and soft: Car friends often ask whether it is soft or hard? After a bit of research, the editor suggested that: each has its own strengths, and see what you choose.

Solar hard board: The advantage is that after overhead installation, there is a certain space with the roof of the car, so that the air forms a convection in the space. It can avoid direct sunlight on the roof of the car, and can save a part of the electric energy of the air conditioner in the summer; the price is a little cheaper. Disadvantages are: high installation requirements, not beautiful enough.

Solar flexible board: The advantages are low profile and relatively convenient installation. Note: The lower the temperature of the solar cell, the higher the efficiency. The flexible attachment to the roof of the car is not conducive to heat dissipation and the efficiency is lower. The shortcomings are: low efficiency and high price. In addition, the solar panel power in practical applications can generally only reach 70% of the rated power. However, most of the solar panels installed on the roof of the RV can only be tiled. It is difficult to form the optimal angle of illumination with the sun, so that 20% -30% of the power will be lost. Therefore, the actual output power of the RV solar panel is about half of the nominal rated power. Therefore, when choosing a solar panel, RV riders should try to have as many units and large areas as possible.

Due to the easy expansion of solar power generation and the limited roof area of motor homes, folding and portable solar panels came into being. It is not only convenient to carry, but also a good supplement for solar power generation. It is also a good choice for everyone.
