Having owned several 200w & 100W portable panels I was itching to go bigger and try 400w panels but the practicality surprised me between the different panels especially the weight and price of the bigger panels so it's an interesting thing to consider what's best for you, more smaller panels or fewer larger ones .

This video has some interesting tests showing the panels side by side.

Rigid house style panels are absolutely not portable and a non starter but even 100w rigid panels are surprisingly difficult to transport in the average car if you're taking other things with you. Folding portable panels are much easier to carry and easier to transport .
