Why it earned a place
Solar supports longer stays, reduces dependence on external charging and helps the electrical system recover during daylight hours. The biggest benefit is not a single number; it is having power quietly replenished while camp is set up.
What to evaluate
- Real output in shade and changing weather
- Panel mounting and cable routing
- Charge-controller capacity
- Battery-state visibility
- Roof-space tradeoffs
Future update
Add actual production numbers, battery capacity, controller model and several days of real camp testing before assigning a final rating.
