- Is this panel good for an RV or van roof?
- Yes. The rigid aluminum frame and single-panel format suit roof mounting. You will need your own brackets and cabling, and a charge controller between the panel and battery.
- Monocrystalline or polycrystalline?
- This is monocrystalline. It generally gives more output per square foot than a polycrystalline panel of the same rating, which matters when roof space is tight.
- Can I connect several of these together?
- Yes. Multiple panels can be wired in series or parallel to build a larger array, as long as the charge controller is rated for the combined voltage and current.
- What comes in the box?
- The panel itself. Mounting brackets, cables and a charge controller are not included and must be bought separately.
- Will it charge a 12V battery directly?
- The panel produces a higher voltage than a 12V battery needs, so use a charge controller. A controller regulates charging and protects the battery.
- How much power does it make in real use?
- Expect less than the rated 100 watts in most conditions. Heat, shade, panel angle and cloud cover all reduce output, so treat the rating as a peak figure.
