sorted byEdit: Sorry, misread the email. I paid £126 for two before tax, which works out £76 per panel, not £125! (edited)
Can anyone recommend a good beginner's guide showing what I would need and how to set it up?
Cheers!
Greg Virgoe is the guru for this sort of stuff on YouTube
Slightly cheaper here countyelec.co.uk/lon…ack
although delivery is £145 !! Yikes (edited)
They benefit from the white background by absorbing energy on the front and back side of the panel. Sharp and Q-Cells both make excellent bifacial panels. Avoid the Chinese owned brands if you can!
With a LOT more expense, you can be charging batteries (with their own losses), and gain some useful energy for the dark hours- something like a madmax hobby rather than any form of money saving enterprise.
Does it just plug straight in to the input, or are there other adaptors that are required? (edited)
Thanks in advance!
Would this connect to a USB power bank and charge that, and if so would I need anything else or would it just plug in?
Thanks in advance! (edited)
It's been topping up the batteries for a full year now which means I can run a 700w microwave, TV, Fridge and diesel heater for at least a couple of nights without charging.
As for the amount of power it produces, well that's dependant on sun shine and how much your batteries need topping up. On a perfect Summers day you will be looking at 5amps an hour going back in but if it's overcast (or late Autumn) you will generate very little.
Also be aware that you will need a charge controller (MPPT preferred) a good battery and a longer pair of power leads.

Don't get sucked in to buying cheap unknown brand panels - they are rarely anywhere near as good as the decent ones.
Last week at mid day in full direct sunlight my mppt charge controller was showing 97w into my agm battery.
Even in February when I fitted it I got around 45w on a sunny day which considering the sun was much lower in the sky and not overhead is excellent because obviously I couldn't tilt the panel towards it.
As previously mentioned the foldable panel is also great (I also own one of them) but don't use it because I prefer my roof mounted option for all year charging and no security issues on campsites.
You'd be better of buying a smaller 10 or 15w panel to go in the back or front window and as long as it gets sunshine you'll not need a charge controller because the power will be much less. (edited)
I have it on my shed, connected to a Ctechi 320wh LifePo Power Station, I use it just incase we get a blackout, it can only power devices up to 200w (you can buy better ones) but perfect to run my laptop, TV, charge phones. I had to buy 1 cable to convert from the solar panel, to the solar input on the Ctechi, but some models come with this cable.
would be suitable to keep my 12V battery charged etc)
Damn just missed this !
We just bought a Rollerteam 3 weeks ago, this would have been ideal, had a good 10 days away there
and all went well, do these come up at this price quite a lot ?
100 Watt would be ideal @ 12V etc (edited)
You'll also need some cabling to link the panel to the controller and then to the battery.
This deal was a good price they usually cost about £80 to £90, I paid £82 last November.
