Portable solar panel / Battery bank

Just checked when i bought mine, it was march 2015 and it was 31.99 a bargain even then tbh.

i am now going to buy some more while the price is 19.99

probably spendy, but sure you could rig up something similar....stand-offs will allow some air circulation below the panel as well

 

Yeah seen then but they stick up ALOT. I got slimline flexi panels so they were lighter and less obvious when roof is down. I was happy taking the hit in efficiency for that reason

 

worth having a chat with the suppliers as there might be some intumescent silicone you could use instead of drilling/bolting...

 

I already have some tiger seal which is what SolarGuruHuw (the guy i got the stuff from) recommended to use. i will still have to drill holes for the cables. i just like the idea of a mechanical fixing as well as the glue. belt and braces!!

 

I know it's not pretty, but can you not feed the cable through the engine vents?

 

I can but its not pretty and actually looks very carp

 

But a panel works better the cooler it is so a gap underneath allows cooling.

 

Yep agreed, there will be a partial gap due to the ribs on the westy top

 

Contact on the high bit then, but better then none.

 

Oi, I resemble that remark!
How are you going to do it then?

 

Well yeah but that was a temporary install, I wouldn't do it as a permanent thing is what I meant

 

I would.
