The Best Mestic Back Contact Panel for Your Motorhome: 110 to 300W Guide
The Best Mestic Back Contact Panel for Your Motorhome: 110 to 300W Guide
Mestic back contact panels are available in a range of wattages so you can match your system to your style of travel. Choosing between them is easier when you think about how you actually camp rather than simply staring at numbers. This guide links typical touring patterns to suggested panel sizes so you can narrow the choice quickly.
Light users and weekenders
If you mainly take weekend breaks and run lights, phone chargers and a small coolbox, a panel in the 110 to 130 watt range is usually sufficient. It will replace a good portion of the power you use in the evening and help your battery recover while you enjoy the day outside.
Regular tourers with fridges
For customers with compressor fridges, fans and more time away from hook up, a panel in the 150 to 190 watt range is a better fit. This provides a stronger daytime charge that keeps up with the fridge and still leaves room for devices and lighting. Many couples find this size range a comfortable middle ground.
Serious off grid setups
If you work from the road, run an inverter or regularly stay off grid for several days at a time, look at panels from 200 to 300 watts. These deliver the highest daily yields from a single panel and make it easier to keep a larger battery bank healthy. Roof space and weight become important at this point, so measure carefully before ordering.
Matching panel size to battery capacity
A useful rule is that larger battery banks benefit from larger panels. A small 70 amp hour battery will happily pair with a compact panel. A pair of 100 amp hour batteries deserves a more substantial panel to keep them charged. The guidance sections on each My Mestic product page give further examples.
Next steps
Make a brief list of your main electrical loads and how long you use them each day. With that in hand, browse the back contact section of the My Mestic solar collection and choose the wattage that feels comfortable for your style of touring.
