Hymer GCS_ Better a 3rd Battery or Solar Panel ?

[frederick fitzroy]

Hi All
on the Hymer GCS roof there's not so much "room" for Solar Panels: When it will arrive I will check directly but, as soon as I've understood, there are just 2 places.
1- around 130x75cm
2- around 130x45cm

Like that perhaps I can't neither install 2 NDS BLACK SOLAR PANELS (BS 115WP)

Right now I've got the Hymer Smart Battery System 2.0 with 160ah ( n.2 Lithium Batteries)

Becouse the costs it's more or less the same, what do you suggest?

1- Solar Panels for max perhaps 160W in total?
2- A 3rd Battey BOS S LiFePO4 to get 240ah?

Waiting for suggestions

Like in your other thread, IT depends on your usage.
If you're a Scandic lover keen on Aurora Borealis with less light and Lots of driving - the battery.
If you hang around in Sardegna in the beach take the panel.

In general try to ASK your questions as specific as possible, on your General Level noone can answer seriously. Maybe whilst thinking about your scenarios you can answer IT yourself

Completely Agree with You Canis

1. in general, as architect, I know that the Solar Panels, in this "flat" position, will not have a good performance...at all.. and perhaps in 1 year or 2 there will be better Kits ( as for the Lithium batteries, actually)

2. I'd like to "talk" about this to "make up my mind":
for sure here there are tons of "friends" that have a better experience than me that, I have to say, I'm newby
Knowing other experiences it's the best way to understand what "could" be yours...

I found an image foo what could be the ROOF of GCS... in this case there are 2 Solar Panels, small and not NDS ones
