In a new guide from Best Solar Panels, readers can learn about the benefits of solar panels for long camping trips as well as how to choose the right size system for their needs.

Solar and photovoltaic (PV) panels are often used interchangeably but actually utilize different technologies. PV panels convert thermal solar energy into electricity, while solar panels turn sunlight into heat and are typically used for residential heating needs.

Best Solar Panel’s guide is focused on PV panels that can be used for all RV electricity needs, from entertainment to water heating.

“Outdoor enthusiasts are embracing solar power systems for RVs, and it’s no wonder why. These eco-friendly solutions provide a reliable energy source, freeing adventurers from the grip of traditional fuels,” a company spokesperson said.

To begin with, it’s essential to assess roof space before deciding on panels. This might only be a concern for those with campervans. Luckily, there are portable panels on the market that make it possible to get more capacity despite limited space. Portable panels also give users the flexibility to place them ideally depending on where the sun is.

The best option for efficiency is monocrystalline panels, but for campers on a budget or those who don’t use their motorhome regularly, polycrystalline and thin-film are also available.

Energy needs are also going to determine the size and budget needed. Best Solar Panels explains that a 100 Watts panel size has a daily output of 300 Wh and is ideally paired with a 25 Ah battery. 200 Watts size panels have an output of 600 Wh per day and should be combined with a 50 Ah battery, and a 300 Watts system gives 900 Wh per day and works best with a 75 Ah battery.

When assessing energy needs, it’s crucial to look into all appliances used to ensure the system isn’t undersized. This includes fridge/freezer, lights, and charging stations for laptops and phones.

“Assessing the cost against power output is key to gauging the system’s value for money,” a company spokesperson explained.
