Solar panel tips Suffolk?

[Gweedo]

Afternoon,

I’m thinking about getting a solar panel fitted to the pop top roof on my T6, does anyone have any tips or recommendations near Ipswich?
Cheers

In addition to @Dellmassive excellent resources. Consider what you use in the van now and what you want to use in the future. Depending on your current set-up, is it worthwhile upgrading other elements of your electrical system? What batteries do you have? How old are they? Do you need a boost in capacity - would lithium be an option? Would you want the solar to also feed the vehicle battery once the leisure batteries are full?

Also, depending who does it, look at how they suggest running the wires into the van - you don’t want any leaks or unsightly wires .

might be worth listing the rest of your set-up... up to you.

good luck.
