We have been thinking of fitting a solar panel to our caravan for some time and Parksy has kindly shown me how his is fitted, but with cash needed for other things they were prioritised. We are hoping that early next year we will be able to have one fitted as I am unable to do it myself. I have contacted Lunar to inquire about our body shell warranty if we elect to have the hole drilled through the roof similar to Steve's fittting on his caravan.
We watch a lot of TV in the evenings so would need the battery to sufficiently charged up over the day. We do have a spare 85w battery. As we would mostly use the caravan in summer on non EHU sites, we should not have any issues even on dull days. We are considering a 120w solar battery, but when you check various web sites it all becomes very confusing, Obviously the panel will have to have a reasonable current range and voltage input and weigh probably maximum 12kgs.
Maplin is very expensive so at this stage I am looking around at websites and would appreciate any links especially if the the solar panel comes with all the necessary stuff like controller etc. I don't mind buyng from the EU or UK, but I am very wary of buying from an overseas market like China.
How long should it take an approved workshop or mobile technician to fit a solar panel? Thanks.
