Hello there,
I am currently looking into expanding my setup with solar. Since the roofspace on my campervan is really limited I can only fit one panel. I am wondering if the use of a high voltage pv panel will improve the performance of the system over a conventional panel
What are your thoughts on this?
When you say “high voltage” I am assuming you mean above the nominal 20v that normal ‘12v’ panels are.
I went for a couple of 250w 43v panels on the boat, worked very well indeed. Advantages are that it gets above the mppt charging voltage much earlier in the day than a ‘12v’ panel so you get longer charging days.
Thank you Julian for confirming my thoughts.
That is indeed what I meant with high voltage pv panels.
Now i can start looking for the largest possible panel that will fit on my van
