Solar Panel Failure – WHY?
Watch my video about Micro Fracturing on Flexible Solar Panels and how to prevent it.
The video shows how over flexing can destroy a solar panel. Why air flow under the solar panel can cause over flexing, and why a solar panel needs to be firmly attached or it will over flex. Even water behind the panel can act as a battering ram destroying solar panels.
I have seen some solar installations where the solar panels are weaving in the wind. Sometimes you can hear it hitting the vehicle.

VanLife message to all
Every Vanner should get their cameras out and video tape every part of their van. Video record the engine and upload the video so you have a dated video. Just keep it private. You should have a mechanic before you break down. Buy a manual and read it, you have time. These are must do’s. You will need a small savings incase of breakdowns. Best Wishes from Vantastic Odyssey.
Every should know how to check their oil and water, and know how to change a flat tire.
Here are some examples of manuals you may need.
