malc d Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 If you Google " types of solar panel " you can get info on the difference / advantages / disadvantages of the different types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkc Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi NJW, Try these sites, www.solarbuzz.com/technologies.htm www. sunshine solar.co.uk/khxc/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=display&ref=faq&sid=nqm2i84kkk10g4n87oqzj6wuw5k1jl21 Panels fall roughly into three types, in order of efficiency, amorphous silicon which is usually cheaper but less efficient weight for weight than a monocrystalline or polycrystalline panel, whichever you choose if you intend to spend a lot of time "off grid" get the biggest one that you can afford and accommodate on your van, you will also have to budget for a regulator.
