Many of the caravan sites we use do not have eletric hook-ups, so to keep the battery charged I have invested into a solar panel, which more than keeps up with our usage. Its a 50Watt- up to 3.5 amps per hour, depends on daylight! My wife has some medical equipment that needs to be charged up now & then plus the usual stuff, water pump lights tv + satelite, motor mover etc. I thought £ 190 for the panel & regulator wasnt bad, easy to fit, now we are self sufficiant when we do go on sites that have power cc etc , if you dont need the electric have discount for the pitch, rather than £20 the pitch electric, so we use it because your charge for it.
Sounds a good price to me as it includes the regulator. I'm beginning to look for best price & the equivalant in Towsure would cost over £300. Where did you get it from?
we have just got the maplins one-we're taking it back because its too big to transport and very heavy-just something to look at before you decide to get it and realise after like us!
I looked at Maplins the 60W are to big &heavy, I bought mine from Amazon complete, so far I am pleased with it, we go on a lot of rallies which tend to be in a field with basic amenities, or course my wife watches the tele, so I find a good pub ie W/spoons, it works very well until the battery goes flat!
