Solar Panels

Solar panels for RVs, vans, cabins, boats and portable power stations: rigid framed panels for a roof or ground mount, flexible panels for curved roofs, bifacial panels, and folding portable panels that plug straight into a power station. Sizes run from 7W trickle chargers to 600W bifacial modules, from Renogy, Rich Solar, AIMS Power, Jackery, BLUETTI and Anker SOLIX.

Pick the panel type first, then the wattage. Rigid panels cost the least per watt and last longest on a fixed mount. Flexible panels weigh less and follow a curved roof. Portable panels fold for storage and can be moved into the sun while the RV stays in the shade. For a roof system, match the panel voltage and total wattage to a solar charge controller; for a power station, check its solar input voltage and connector.

How many watts of solar do I need?

Add up the watt-hours you use in a day and divide by three to four, the usable sun hours most of the US gets. An RV that uses 1,200Wh a day needs roughly 300–400W of panels. The RV solar and battery calculator does the math for you.

Rigid, flexible or portable?

Rigid panels suit a permanent roof or ground mount and usually carry the longest warranties. Flexible panels suit curved or weight-limited roofs. Portable folding panels need no installation and work well with power stations. See flexible vs rigid.

Will any solar panel work with my power station?

Only if the panel's voltage is inside the station's solar input range and the connector matches or can be adapted. Check the station's maximum input volts and watts on its product page before mixing brands.

Do I need a charge controller?

For a battery bank, yes: the controller sits between the panels and the battery and prevents overcharging. Power stations have a controller built in, and some portable kits include one. See does a portable solar suitcase need a charge controller.

What is a bifacial solar panel?

A bifacial panel has cells that collect light on both faces, so reflected light from the ground or a light-colored roof adds to its output when the panel is tilted or raised.
