Weird place to mount a solar panel ?

[PaddyM]

Ajuy , Fuertaventura today , Swiss van , never seen a panel fixed there before !

Looks to be hinged so can be lifted from the bottom for placing at an angle
Maybe they always park facing north

It wasn’t hinged , I looked , sealant all the way round .
Other thing was that non of the blinds were up ( it was a red hot day ) and non of the roof vents were open , it must of been like an oven in there .

They're Swiss, so mostly on steeply-sloped mountain pitches.

Wonder what that is ?

Panic button in case they actually charge the leisure battery via Solar

The bottom and middle fixings do look like black thumb turn screws. Suspect the hinges are inside the casing that's been constructed around the original panel.

I bet the roof is full of solar too… it’s not an EV is it..?

The panel on the back will get the morning/evening sun and also give a fair bit during the day…

The roof was indeed full of solar !

Maybe that's just a stowage location? Maybe it's a non fixed panel they can lay out on the ground when on a campsite?

Maybe they were covering up a dent, instead of the more usual sticker

 

[monzer]

Probably for the kids.

Parked facing north the rear panel would produce more in the winter than on the roof.

It definitely swings out at the bottom ,I've seen panels mounted on the sides with the same method. Quite a few on box trailers with the same idea

I've seen a couple of hire vans with a that set up in the UK
