In this video, I share things you should consider BEFORE you buy solar panels for your camper van electrical install, including the pros and cons of rigid and flexible solar panels and size variations in the market.
What type of solar panel would you choose? Let me know in the comments!
Personally, if walkable solar panels were around when I did my install, I’d be temped to look into those – but monocrystalline, always!
