When choosing between portable and permanent solar panels for your 4WD or caravan, it’s important to consider how and where you’ll be using them. Portable solar panels offer great flexibility—they can be easily packed away when not in use, moved to catch the best sunlight and shared between vehicles or campsites. They’re ideal for weekenders and those who want a simple, lightweight solution. Permanent solar panels, meanwhile, are fixed to your vehicle or trailer, providing continuous charging while you’re parked or driving. They’re more durable and low-maintenance, perfect for serious travellers and long-term setups. Both options have their advantages, so it’s worth assessing your lifestyle and power needs before deciding.
