Array choice

Choose roof, portable, or hybrid solar by travel pattern

Roof panels charge automatically while moving or parked, but have fixed orientation and limited area. Portable panels can follow the sun and escape shade, but need setup, storage, and supervision.

Decision 01

Roof panels

Best when automatic charging, clean roof integration, and charging while travelling matter more than changing panel angle.

Decision 02

Portable panels

Best when campsites are shaded but a sunny clearing is available, and daily setup is acceptable.

Decision 03

Hybrid setups

A modest roof array plus a portable supplement can reduce dependency on either approach. Model both sources separately.
