I have 2 x110 amphr batteries in my van and want to put a 20w panel on the top to keep them charged, I will be in sunnier climes and want to know what are the best type of panels? I know there are various sorts.
Typically, you will want to charge lead acid batteries at a rate of 5% their capacity, or at least 3%. So in your case, you have a 220 AH bank, and would want to charge at 6.6 A minimum, or better, 11 A. The lower figure is about a 100w panel, and the higher is about a 200w.
The 20w panel is good for maintaining batteries that were already charged from your alternator, but will be poor in getting discharged batteries to absorb charge.
As for type of panel, I would look for a crystalline silicon panel, either mono- or polycrystalline. Those flexible or thin-film panels wear out after a couple years, in my experience. I have a dead flexible panel on my roof to prove it, but the crystalline panels are still going strong after years.

It is hard to say exactly what you need but you are using around 5000 to 8000 watts if you use everything at the same time. You can do it with one or two solar panels and a lot of batteries (12 to 18) and a power inverter. Most systems are done with 5 to 10 panels and 6 batteries and the inverter. It depends on the amount of sun you get. A complete system in the US could run $30,000.00 installed and running. Solar is one of the most expensive ways to make power. You can also look at hydro power if you live by water or wind power if you have wind. or you can do all 3 things together. Most people will do solar and wind together because on stormy days there is no sun but lots of wind and on non windy days it is sunny.
It depends -
1. What size panel and how many do you want to buy.
2. What is the intensity of the sun for the day (overcast or sunny)
3. It can also depend on the quality of the solar panel.
It is possible to power an entire home off of solar panels with the right setup and enought financial investment.
