RV
solar kits are a wonderful way to extend the amount of time that can
possibly be spent camping in an RV. By utilizing solar power, the normal
energy options may be greatly supplemented or entirely supplanted. With
solar panels, you can rely far less on generators and batteries. There
are several RV solar kits on the market today. Consider the following
factors when searching for RV solar kits:
• How much power are you using? Are you a weekend RV camper or
do you live in your recreational vehicle for extended periods of time?
There are different sizes and capacities of RV solar kits. The average
solar kits run from 50 watts to around 440 watts.
• What do you run in your RV? Are you just using basic lighting
and water, or are you powering a microwave, TV, furnace and other amenities?
The more power you need, the more solar panels and watts you will require.
• How is the local weather? Plenty of sunlight will be needed
to charge up your solar panels. Using an inverter with a built-in charger
will make it possible to charge up your batteries for use when it gets
stormy. For those who only have a DC system and no generator, you will
be out of power during bad weather.
Most RV owners install their own RV solar kits. Many of these kits
come with solar panels, a charge controller, mounting structures, output
wiring, fuses, and intermodule cables. Check with your individual vendor
or reseller for the specifics of their kits’ contents. More solar
panels may easily be added as energy needs increase. For those not up
to the challenge, there are installation centers available in many states.
Regardless of who installs it, you will certainly enjoy staying in your
recreational vehicle longer with the help of solar energy.
