Container for folding solar panels?

[ThomD]

I'm interested in how everyone is storing their panels. A pelican case is the obvious solution, I figured I would need something like a 1520 to store the panel, controller and cables.

What's your solution?

My solution is a Pelican 1490 I had bought a few years back for my Dell 17" Inspiron 1720
It does not fit, to big, even though Pelican said it would.

I keep my 60 watt solar panel in its cardboard box, and the box fits nicely into the Pelican case and the cables too to hook it to its port.

Case goes behind my drivers seat.

I will have to snag a picture of it sometime.

I used a Doskocil Box and cube foam. I have two Brunton solar panels, Brunton SolarRoll 14 and a Brunton Solaris Foldable 12 unit w/cables. Along with the solar panels in the same case, I have a AA/AAA battery charger that hooks up to the solar panels.

Thanks guys. Doskocil is a name I had not heard before.

My folding panel is in a fairly rugged package already so I just put it into a soft case that stows in the back of the rig. If I had to worry about punctures I'd use a Pelican case or similar.

Here is the case.
The cardboard box it came in is very stout and provides great protection by itself.
But the Pelican case lets me store the wiring and shower curtain rod holders all together.

Say what?
Shower curtain rod holders?
Yes, the holders go over the Campinglabs horizontal legs, and the other end go into metal insert holes on the panel.
This way I can hang the panel from the awning.

Have not done this yet, I will try that the first trip of this year.
