Do you love PV panels so much you want to take them with you everywhere you go? Frugll specializes in residential solar installations but that doesn’t mean our expertise doesn’t translate.  Here are 5 things to consider when purchasing and some of our favorite recommendations.

‍

Solar isn’t just a great idea for powering your home, it’s a great idea for powering your on-the-go adventures too! By following this guide, you’re sure the find the right panel for your needs.

1. Conversion Rate

By getting panels with a high conversion rate, less is more. Instead of purchasing and transporting 5 panels, your only bringing along 3. On the flip side, stick to 5 panels and produce even more energy for even more fun.‍

2. Durability

PV panels designed for rooftops are made to withstand extreme elements for decades. Portable panels aren’t up to those standards (mainly for size and weight reasons) but you can still get a product with great durability, water resistance, and scratch protection.‍

3. Ease of Transportation

Unless you’re planning to hardly move your panels, you want to make sure you have something that can be easily packed, stored, and moved. Something lightweight and foldable is a great option.

4. Power Supply

If you already have a battery pack or a direct USB plug in is important to you, make sure you select panels that are compatible with your needs. You don’t want to make the mistake of purchasing panels that won’t charge your kind of battery!

5. Price
