When choosing your solar system, you need to consider a few things such as what are you going to run off it and what’s your budget. There are 3 main types of solar panels to consider:

These panels are super-efficient and are mounted to the roof of your van. They produce a great amount of power and are one of your cheapest options. The downside to these as they are glass, inflexible and susceptible to damage. They also cut down on load space as you can’t use roof racks anymore.

These panels are lightweight and semi-flexible meaning that they can be silicone straight to your curved roof. They weigh much less than glass and don’t damage as easily. Your biggest consideration with these is cost. They are far more costly than glass.

Foldable solar panels are becoming increasingly popular as you don’t have to mount them on the roof. These simply fold away and are stored in your van. You can also move them around camp to catch the sun and make the most of its energy.

When you’re ready to make your decision ensure you’ve considered all your needs and everything you need to run so that you don’t run out of energy.
