Can ye stick a 100W panel on yer van or car? Looks like Mid France is our Southern most brother then! Aa an aside, had a wonderful drive down through Austria a few years ago, beautiful cowbell clanking wonderfulness. One of the most magical memories of my not exactly boring life, where ye?

I don't think having a 100W panel on my TT is going to look good or generate much energy as it is under the car port most of the time
I can clain 785wh of storage on my ebike though!
I'm in a small village called Niederau in the Tirol, yes we have plenty of cowbell clanking here. We are a tourist destination summer and winter (just waiting for snow atm). We are also close to self sufficient in electricity with 3 hydro schemes catering for most of our needs.

I think it would kill the aerodynamics of the TT, . We are heading back over that way in Spring, mid Germany/Bavaira/Austria/Italy. Drove the Tolane pass last time over (in a Bongo with Floyd on, very slowly). Had such a great time I even stopped and replenished a cyclist water bottle 1/2 way up. If it's ok with you I'll google the name of town, not for creeping but just geographically planning my next trip. damn, that reads as creepy even though.....

Feel free to Google, we are just 30km over the German border close to the A12 motorway to Innsbruck.

I imagine snow must be quite a double edged sword in these locations. Assuming the array is clear of snow and there's no loading issues, would the extra light bounce due to the white surfaces bump up the PV output?

There is certainly a lot of light when the sun comes out later in the season. December and the first few weeks of January are often cloudy, once you get to mid February usually lots of sunny days.

I'm in Austria at 47.4491382 latitude, though I don't have any generation here. Mine is at 54.8, 107 kW from a 3.75kW system (approx, don't really have access to reliable accurate data without inconveniencing others so tend to leave that for FIT reading time)

There is someone on the secret list with a second home in Portugal with a decent amount of generation both home and away.
Thats a bit more southerly.

That's covering roughly the 39th to 51st parallel, need a Norwegian or two to join. I could set up something in Turkey to get us to the 36th..Solar Thermal maybe? All kidding aside, I had given no real thought to the distance covered by the members. It is quite a spread of geographical experience

There's around 12 degrees of separation between him and us which is as they say 'a fair skite'. Not sure if that's the forum max or not? Who's in Austria and at what Lat, same for up North, who's up there?

I have an 80W panel on my converted van linked to MPPT charger and leisure battery, which also trickle charges the vehicle battery once the leisure battery is fully charged - works a treat

I have similar on the Bongo, makes quite a difference to the freedom in travel.
