    The heat dissipation problem of RV soft solar panels

    Best method to keep panels cool(er) for what's probably most situations is to:1) Minimize/eliminate contact with hot things like roofs and 2) Increase the available panel heat transfer area of the panel. #2 is most easily achieved by keeping the panels away from their mounting surface by some healthy distance like 10-15 cm.


    FAQs about The heat dissipation problem of RV soft solar panels

    Can flexible RV solar panels overheat?
