Frequently Asked Questions

Why have a tracking solar panel?

Good question as there seems to be little point when you consider the extra costs involved! Until you consider that the Phenix is on average FIVE times more efficient than a conventional flat panel. It isn’t that the panel itself is so much better (the actual panel used is a standard 25 year warranty Alden panel, so pretty good to begin with) The reason for the efficiency is simply that the sun is perpendicular to the panel for a lot longer.

Imagine a conventional flat panel at midday! The sun is at its highest so the output of the panel will be at it’s greatest that day. With the Phenix installed it is that efficient all day and this is what makes the Phenix, on average FIVE times more efficient, it is simply better placed to maximise the power from the sun longer
With a solar panel they are often left on the roof, what happens if I buy the expensive Phenix

Most flat panels are now bonded to the roof of a caravan or motorhome. Dealers are reluctant to allow any extra money for them on part exchange, yet do not seem keen to see them removed with the potential for roof damage or subsequent water ingress.

The Phenix, although, on average FIVE times more efficient than a conventional flat panel is very expensive, so you would want to be assured that you could remove it and retain the capital cost should you sell the motorhome.

Phenix is fitted to the roof on two bonded sleds, which unbolt and allow the Phenix to be removed, only requiring a replacement set of sleds which currently cost about £60 (Oct 09)
