HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOLAR PANEL
Solar panels have come a long way in the last few years, with advances in performance and efficiency at a rapidly fast rate. The latest advancement in solar cell technology is the new (Shingled Cell Design) which are solar cells cut into typically 5 -6 strips and overlaid like shingles on a roof. Due to them not requiring busbars across the top of the cells, this increases overall performance, and efficiency, unlike conventional monocrystalline solar panels.
What Is The Best Solar Panel For Camping?
12v monocrystalline fixed solar panels are the ideal choice for small off-grid and camping applications, as they are easy to set up and are overall more efficient than other model solar panels.
Depending on many factors, will solely depend on the perfect solar panel for you. E.g if you have limited roof space you may want to invest in a foldable solar panel or solar blanket. They may be a bit less efficient than a fixed solar panel, but they will do the job greatly if you are limited on space.
Which Range Solar Panel Should I Consider?
When considering which size solar panel you should purchase it’s always a good idea to go with a bigger wattage size than you may need. This will ensure you have plenty of solar production for those cloudy days, and when shading occurs.
A good way to know the right size panel you will need is to first calculate the total amount of watts you will be used per day by adding the total wattage amount from each appliance. For example, if your total was 2,000W, you would require a minimum of 3KW, or (380W x 8) in solar panels to ensure you have enough solar production.
How To Utilize Solar Panels For Camping?
If you want the most efficient solar cells for direct sunlight, go for the monocrystalline solar panels. They can generate more power compared to other types when exposed to direct sunlight. However, to make the most of your camping solar panel, you should first determine how much energy you require.
Before buying your next solar panel, it's important to create an inventory of the appliances you plan to power. This should also include the battery that needs recharging. Calculate the individual wattage requirements of each appliance and add them up to determine your total requirement. This will help you choose the right-sized panels for your needs and battery capacity. Using panels that are not powerful enough to fully charge your battery will lead to inefficient use of your resources. On the other hand, purchasing more powerful camping solar panels than you need will result in wasted money on unused power.

MODEL: SPW-VX-S-100
If you are searching for a reliable source of power to charge your electronic devices, RV, caravan and camper trailer, etc. this 100W solar panel is the perfect investment for you. Made from grade-A Monocrystalline, is born to provide a rapid and reliable source of power when your electronic devices are running out of it.
This fixed solar panel is metallized with thin 9BB (Busbar) printed on the front and rear of the solar cell. It comes with many advantages compared to standard 5BB solar panels. With the increase in the busbars, the resistance and current on the cell are more evenly distributed, thus the resistance loss is reduced, conducive to the current collection.

200W 12V StarPower Mono-SI, Portable Solar Panel
The solar panel is made from high-efficiency monocrystalline solar cells. This means that it is designed to absorb the maximum amount of sunlight, so you have a reliable power source throughout your camping trip. You do not have to worry about not being able to charge your gadgets on cloudy days, because the solar panel can still generate power.
9BB (Busbars) design - The increase in the busbars, the increase in efficiency: The resistance and current on the cell are more evenly distributed, thus the resistance loss is reduced, conducive to the current collection. Reduction of shadow and occlusion effect, so that the cell efficiency can be increased by 0.5-0.8%, and the power can be increased by 3-5W. Moreover, It can help reduce BOS cost and LCOE, reduce the risk of micro-cracks, hot spots, and LID effect, and increase the efficiency and output of your solar panels.
