I've just been camping and noticed that my folding 6w panel has started to deteriorate. I've only had it 1 year (build myself of course). It seems that my sealing wasn't as great as I thought it was. Also my paint job was shabby and its started to show signs of rust on the hinges. Funny how the wood has managed to rust as well :-)
Still, this was my first panel and a great first project to do with RE. Hopefully it won't be my last. The panel still seems to put out a fair amount of power, but unfortunately I haven't been able to test it properly since we've had no full sun today. I'll test it as soon as I can and get some results posted.
