SOLAR PANELS
SOLAR PANEL CARE
It is important to regularly clean your solar panels to ensure they are free of any dirt build ups that may effect the efficiency of your solar panels.
Never use an abrasive sponge or soap for your solar panel cleaning as you may scratch the glass. The best way to clean solar panels by using a soft rag / lint free cloth and biodegradable soap.
Taking care of your solar panels is crucial to ensure their longevity and efficiency, but sometimes cleaning and maintenance won’t be enough to keep them running smoothly. If your solar panels are old, damaged or simply not working as well as they used to, it may be time to consider replacing them with new ones.
Check for build ups of dirt on your solar panels as they may be effecting the efficiency of your panels. If there is no power coming from them then check your regulator to ensure it is operating correctly and has not blown any fuses.
Taking care of your solar panels is crucial to ensure their longevity and efficiency, but sometimes cleaning and maintenance won’t be enough to keep them running smoothly. If your solar panels are old, damaged or simply not working as well as they used to, it may be time to consider replacing them with new ones.
Firstly, most solar installations are governed by the roof space available on the roof of your vehicle. Each vehicle is different and depends on elements such as how many hatches and other installations you have on the roof already. Though this doesn’t limit you completely as you can look at combinations of fitted and portable solar.
Secondly, understanding wattage (power) needs is essential. The wattage of the solar panel should be a close match with the amount of power demanded by your vehicle, equipment and accessories. In short, underestimating what you need leads to insufficient power but overestimating means you’ve paid far more than you need to, for what you’re actually using.
There are three elements to pay attention to when it comes to power systems:
- Generation: Power is generated through the solar panels. Panel size is important for obtaining the correct wattage – it needs to be the right size in order to supply the right amount of power for your needs. For motorhomes, panels of 80W and above are most commonly needed.
- Storage: Power generated by the solar panels during daylight is stored in the battery until needed, whether this is immediately or after dark. The battery then supplies the power. Batteries which allow trickle-charging can be particularly useful in motorhome systems. A minimum of 25W is advised if mobile devices such as laptops are likely to need regular charging.
- Use: This is how the power being generated and stored will be used. Motorhomes commonly include many of the electrical appliances, gadgets and devices we use in our homes. For example, lighting, fridges, toilet flushes, televisions and device charging should be considered when working out power needs.
