Liz from Portugal has beaten the energy crisis before it started and for many years to come! Last summer Liz decided to install an all-European photovoltaic system with batteries that would cover her energy requirements. Now, she produces her own clean energy and uses the grid mainly for back-up purposes. Practically, she bought in advance her energy needs for the next 20-25 years at a fixed low and stable price and in this way she is no longer dependent from goverment policies, increasing energy prices and international politics. 

Armando from Netherlands sent us the photos of his installation of the semi-flexible solar panel he installed on his campervan. He chose the proven Phaesun Semi Flex 130Wp solar panel which has back-contact SunPower cells for higher efficiency and thus e better yield in a smaller area. As a charge controller for his solar panel he chose the highly reliable Western WRM20 MPPT it is made in Italy, it has and LCD display and comes with a 5 year warranty.
