Portable solar panel on caravan in storage
Ladies and Gents,
I would be grateful for advice with regard to portable solar panels for caravans in storage. I essentially want to keep the leisure battery topped up during the winter months when the caravan is not in use. I have noticed that portable solar is much cheaper
than having a permanent solar panel installed on the roof of the caravan.
I have a tracker fitted to my caravan so I believe there is a continual drain on the leisure battery.
My main concern with a portable device is that it may be vulnerable to being stolen from the storage site if it is left anywhere outside the caravan. I could place it inside the caravan in the front window, which is south facing, but am unsure if this would have
a detrimental effect on the performance of the solar panel.
Has anyone experience of using/ leaving a portable solar panel placed inside the caravan whilst it is in storage please?
Could anyone suggest what size of solar panel I may need to keep my 12v Leisure battery topped up during the winter, with the tracker running in the background.
Many thanks for reading this and any suggestions you may have.
