I’m going to be upgrading my vans power soon and changing to lithium. I have a flexi solar panel on the roof and presume it’s 100w. I’m wanting to upgrade this to at least a 200w panel and read through the various solar panel threads but am wanting to know what’s the best panel to upgrade to...

I currently have a 150W flexible solar panel stuck to my pop top which has now failed after about 5 years. I have a new panel waiting to be fitted but was just wondering 2 things. 1) I know it's not ideal, but bonding it directly onto the old panel is OK isn't it? (The old panel shows no signs...

Hi all has victron been having issues with updates,i ask this because i put new flexi panel on roof 3 weeks ago and a new victron 75/15 mppt (not on roof) as recommended on here all was good, then it slowly started less and less watts until there was nothing for several days,i put lights and...

Hello, Bought a camper earlier this year and it came with a duff flexi solar panel - it had been perimeter sealed so likely overheated within its first summer. Last weekend I bit the bullet and worked/prized it off... And sat the new 200w fixed frames in place. I didn't like how they...

Is there a legitimate way to add a portable solar panel to trickle charge a battery without having to drill holes in the van? I usually use hookup but have a couple festivals coming up. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I'm slightly concerned that since having a solar panel and Lazer lamps fitted by a converter my van battery (main battery) has completely died twice in a very short space of time. This is a brand new VW installed battery three months ago on a 21 plate van. The solar is connected to a three...

I used this in an old van but eventually modified it use an Anderson plug and bypassed the built in controller. I have no need for it with my current setup so looking to sell it. The solar panel is fully working however there are some points to note: All the cables have been unattached so would...

Just seen this Solar panel reviewed on one of my regular YouTube watch lists. Anyone seen anything similar from a UK supplier? Very good results in the shade and not overpriced. Contacted the Company in the U.S but unfortunately they don't have any European importers as yet and shipping would...

I've been noticing that my panel isnt charging the battery when its sunny in the middle of the day. I know this sounds odd. It does however charge in the morning. I get between 10 and 12v from the solar panel but no Current..... I disconnected it from the Victron MPPT yesterday and the panel was...

As a newbie to both campervans, and the forum, please be gentle. I've searched and read the forums for an answer, and have ended up with a fried brain, so apologies if the answers already out here. I have the D250SE installed, and have just purchased a Dokio 100w foldable solar panel. I read a...

Looking for some information about how the solar panels are fitted. I am interested in how the cables from the solar panel enter the van. So would like to know do they come through the roof inside or outside of the canvas and how they are routed after that. Also was the panel fitted by the...

I'm looking to install a Renogy 200w semi-flexible solar panel (that I've already purchased) on my HiLo poptop roof. As the flexible panel may need replaced at some point in the future in keen to fit it using a wrap on the roof first. The roof is ridged so (based on all the reading of threads...

I'm sorting out the electrics on my new van and part of the install will include solar. I already have a Fogstar Drift 105a and Renology DC50S so trying to source the flexible solar panel. Last time I used a Photonic Universe panel but the prices have gone up massively now. The Renology 200w is...

Used 3-4 times last year but we had solar fitted to the roof so no longer needed. Looking for 75 quid, collected from solihull. Thanks

I have hit a snag fixing a replacement solar panel to 3M vinyl on my poptop and am looking for advice, please. After spending far too much time removing a failed solar panel from my pop top roof I decided to follow forum advice and bond its replacement to some 3M wrap. I used Soudaflex to...
