Flexible Solar Panels

What kind of solar panels are best for caravans? 

For portable folding and flexible solar panels for caravans, the ideal solar panel is a design that will help you with what is called a ‘trickle feed’, which will top up caravan batteries. If you’re going to be parked up and it’s a bit overcast, this is when you would pull out your folding or flexible solar panels to assist with that issue. Flexible solar panels are ideal for combatting a lack of storage space. They are limited to sitting on the bonnet of your car as they are not designed to sit on the floor. So this could be a great addition if you plan on leaving your caravan in a park to take on some beach driving or harder tracks. This will help to top up the batteries in the car rather than a caravan.  

A folding solar panel like the ones from Camec, is more ideal for caravan use and your longer stays as they are able to stand up with an inbuilt frame and mounting brackets. A lot of the solar panels we stock also come with inbuilt solar controllers/regulators which allows them to be a simple plug and play system, generally via an Anderson plug. But be sure to pick up a solar regulator if they do not come standard in the package. For example, our best sellers for flexible solar panels are the Hardkorr croc skin solar panels, which features high quality cell armour coating and highly efficient monocrystalline cells. Monocrystalline technology allows your solar panel to be half covered and still be able to produce decent watts. So if the towel accidentally blows onto the corner, this will not effect the solar panels ability to produce power by much. We also stock folding and flexible solar panels from Dometic which are specifically designed to cater to the needs of caravanners.  

We stock a huge range of different types and variations including, 100 watt solar panels, 120w foldable solar panels, fold up solar panels all the way down to 40watt – 50watt solar panels that are designed to charge a single device, like a phone. A 100 watt solar panel is ideal for small to mid size caravans, travelling with one or two people. An 80 watt solar panel are great to install on A-Frame camper trailers just to run lights and devices.
