 Portable panels]] are panels that store away and are deployed as needed.

 These are the type of rigid-frame panel that folks mount on their roof, but usually smaller to keep weight and storage size down.

 **Con:**  Heaviest portable.  Hardest to stow due to frame thickness, panel size, and rigidity.

 While roofspace is limited, it is possible to mount a normal framed panel on a roof rack.  Your vehicle may already have a rack (or at least rails), making the job easier.  [[https://amzn.to/2lQI1O5|A simple two-bar universal rack]] is about $150, and [[https://amzn.to/2KwpFzE|a nice locking two-bar rack from someone like Inno]] is about $300-$450.

 **Pro:**  Can use normal, inexpensive panels.  Greater output due to bigger panel.  Greater output because it is always deployed.  Flat-mounted panels do not need to be re-aimed at the sun.  \\
 **Con:**  Initial installation.  Running wires to vehicle interior.  Vehicle must remain in the sun.
