Flexible Solar Panels FAQs:
-
1. What is the difference between a flexible solar panel and a fixed solar panel?
Both flexible and fixed solar panels have the same function of generating power from sunlight. A flexible solar panel is great for roofs that are curved, as they can adhere to those curves. They are also attached with double sided tape, rather than brackets. A fixed panel is best suited to a flat roof, these need to be bolted down with brackets.
-
2. Can I install a mix of fixed and flexible solar panels together?
You can, provided the specifications line up. There is no issue with wiring two different kinds of solar panels in parallel if they have the same voltage, however if the wattages are different the larger panel will only produce what the smaller panel produces.
-
3. Will I be able to walk on flexible solar panels?
We wouldn't recommend you do. Walking on a solar panel can result in significant pressure in small areas, which could lead to cracks and damage to the panel.
-
4. Why is the output from my portable solar panels low?
Low output from your portable solar panels can be caused by factors like temperature rise, overcast skies, indirect sunlight, or dirt on the glass. For better performance in challenging conditions, clean the panels with a non-abrasive sponge, water and mild soap.
-
5. In what manner (series vs. parallel) should I connect my solar panels to my circuit?
It will depend on your needs from the panels. Connecting panels in parallel will increase the overall wattage and amps, whereas connecting panels in series will increase the voltage. You will be best consulting an auto electrician to determine what is going to be best suited for your setup. More basic setups will run panels in parallel to the limit of the solar regulator.
-
6. Are solar panels maintenance-free?
In general, solar panels need to be maintained since excessive accumulation of dirt or stains on the panels will decrease the output of the panels. You can clean the panels with a non-abrasive sponge, water and mild soap.
-
7. How do I choose the right portable solar panels for my caravan or RV?
Selecting the ideal portable solar panels depends on factors like your power needs, caravan or RV size, and budget. Think about the power consumption the appliances you want to run will have. Then consider the panel's wattage, efficiency, weight, and ease of installation. Our team at Caravan RV Camping can assist you in finding the perfect portable solar panel to suit your specific requirements.
-
8. Can I use a portable solar panel to power my entire caravan or RV?
While portable solar panels can provide a significant boost to your caravan or RV's power supply, they may not be sufficient to power all your appliances simultaneously, especially during peak usage periods. It's recommended to assess your power needs and consider additional energy storage options like batteries to ensure a reliable power supply.
-
9. How many portable solar panels should I have?
Determining the power load your system requires is the easiest approach to determine how many portable solar panels you need. If you are able to work out how much power the appliances you want to run will use, you can then get an idea on solar panels and what size regulator you'll need to match the panels.
