Eswyn Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi Everyone I am looking for a solution, I cannot have a fixed panel as the `van roof has not enough flat space & I am not convinced about flexi models. Therefore I am thinking of a folding option (80w.) it seems either Biard or Bosch are the best options, have any of you had experience ? I would appreciate any thoughts. regards Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka4ajax Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Roger, Did you resolve your dilemma? I am about to embark on a similar project and like you not convinced on Flexi panels as i read a lot of bad press on them. So my intensions are to use the standard 850mm x 1200mm panel but use block spacers to raise it at the front of the van roof where it dips down, this will also ensure it has good ventilation, which i hear is the main fault with the Flexi panels stuck to the roof.

colin Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I have used semi flexible panels in the past and have had no issues at all with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka4ajax Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi Colin, On the flexible panels what size are they and what size battery bank are they maintaining? Are you getting good results keeping the system topped up and no overheat issues. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
