What is the best add-on for your caravan? Yes, it is a solar
power attachment. It makes your caravan self-sufficient. To get the maximum
benefit of solar energy, you need a good-quality caravan panel.
To pick the best panel, you need to keep a few things in
mind. This blog is all about factors that you should consider when hiring acaravan panel.
1). Hire the right type of panel
A caravan solar panel is made of silicon. Here are a few
types.
2). Monocrystalline panel
It is the most efficient panel, but it is the most expensive
also.
They are black, coated with toughened glass. Usually, these
panels are packed in aluminum frames. Sometimes, they are kept in built-infoldable
blankets.
3). Polycrystalline panel
These panels are less efficient. They are less expensive
also. The voltage produced by these panels is less than the monocrystalline
panel. However, they can perform better in low sunlight conditions also.
These panels are packed in an aluminum frame or foldable
blankets.
4). Thin-film panels
These are the least efficient panels, but they are the
cheapest amongst all. These panels don’t contain any glass, and they are brown.
Since their power is less, you need more thin-film panels to
produce the same power. However, these panels don’t have shading, and they can
work better in low-light and high-temperature conditions.
Moreover, these panels are flexible. You can bend them, roll
them, or even fold them.
The life of thin-film panels is short. Therefore, you get a shorter
warranty period as well. You must clean the panels regularly.
5). Which panel is the best?
Which panel is ideal for your caravan depends on what type
of usage you have?
For example, if you want electricity just to charge mobile
phones and turning on a few LED bulbs, then the polycrystalline panel will do.
Even you can choose a thin-film panel also.
They will fulfill your needs.
If you need more power for a longer period, then you must
choose high-efficiency monocrystalline panels. They can run a small refrigerator
or TV in the caravan.
When space is the issue, you have to choose thin-film
panels.
You can fix the panels on the rooftop, or you can use
portable panels.
6). Size matters
By ‘size’ we mean the amount of electricity generated by the
panel. There is one parameter “Wp” used for calculating the peak power
generated in Watts. Also, the power of a solar panel is denoted in Voltage.
These parameters help in choosing the right panel.
