So the question is how many panels do I fit.
I was going to fit 200w but want to fit flexible panels so it's either 2 x 100w or 1 x 140w panel?
My head is saying the more the better what output do others have?

I have 200W (140 & 60) I think I would like more as there's room easily to double that I'm just not sure the sliding scale of expense/batteries/ usefulness
especially as we aren't often away from power and hot showers for more than a few days but i'm open to suggestion on this like Steve

Is physical area of a PV panel what dictates its output ?

Not ordered yet but I think it will be 2 x 100w just need to get on top and have a measure up to ensure they will fit where I want them.

According to that solar panel website Rich posted a linky to, Panasonic do a rather nice 160W that's the latest tech and is possibly better than two 100 waters.
