Solar panels/camping
Discussion
Need some advice on what I need.
Would like to run a small TV together with an interior light
(Both 12V) of an evening
Using leisure.battery as as reservoir,
But would like to know if a panel would be enough to top it up during. Sunny daytime.
Presently the battery WIll power both for a couple of hours during evening OK. As its 100AH capacity (IIRC)

I shall take a look at this link at home it won't work on this phone unfortunately.
Can someone. Offer any guidelines in the meantime.
If its of use I was pointed to some 80W panels
Might they be too much though?
I don't think they'll be too much, I guess 2 80 panels might be okay, depends how long you're running the devices for. But seriously it's going to cost you several hundred pounds in kit. Can someone. Offer any guidelines in the meantime.

This book is a really good primer if you're interested, and the costings are quite accurate.

I was initially thinking of buying a quiet generator as I'd been following that thread with interest,
But partly with an eye on their prices and the amount of use in a years weekends away,
My thoughts turned to a one-off payment for panels.
Anyway reading these links of Dirtyboys now
Quiet gennies aren't quiet enough to use on a campsite without causing grief with the neighbours. But in any case isn't camping about getting away from the TV?But partly with an eye on their prices and the amount of use in a years weekends away,

Oh dear I feel I ought to clarify,
Its for a demount-camper so no noise issues, and hardly even the 'magic lantern blue' through the curtains.
And its for the odd rainy afternoon while it blows over, and more
Especially I like to catch the news at bedtime.
I did recently however buy a dish,
as opposed a delicate aerial that kept getting bent being bolted together each time
