Our systems typically range from:

• Solar Starter Packages start around $4,995 and go up to $7,995
• Larger custom systems can go up to over $30,000 and deliver a full off-grid capable RV experience, powering the entire RV

The final cost depends on your goals, battery size, and system capability.

You will need to bring your RV to us. We do not offer mobile installation.

We operate out of a 26,000 square foot facility specifically built for high-quality RV upgrades.

An RV solar system allows your RV to generate and store electricity from sunlight so you can power lights, appliances, and outlets without relying on shore power or a generator.

A complete system typically includes solar panels, lithium batteries, an inverter/charger, and a charge controller.

12 volt RV solar can power most everyday items, including:

• Lights and water pump
• TVs and electronics
• Starlink and internet
• Phones and laptops
• Microwave and coffee maker
• Residential refrigerator

24v and 48v systems can power air conditioning and a full off-grid RV’n (Full Bug Out Capable).

Yes, but only if the system is designed for it.

Running an AC requires a properly sized battery bank, inverter, and enough solar to recharge. Most systems are designed to reduce generator use, while larger systems can support extended AC operation.

The number of panels depends on your power usage, roof space, battery size, and whether you want to run high-demand appliances like air conditioning.

Every RV solar system should be designed based on how you actually use your RV.

Battery capacity determines how long you can run your RV without sunlight.

Most modern systems use lithium batteries because they last longer, charge faster, and provide more usable power.

Yes, especially if you use your RV often.

Solar gives you more freedom to camp without hookups, reduces generator use, and provides a quieter, more convenient experience.

Not completely, but it can significantly reduce how often you use it.

Most RV owners use their generator far less after installing a properly designed solar system.

Lithium batteries typically last much longer than traditional batteries.

Battery life depends on installation quality, charging setup, and how the system is used.

Lithium batteries offer more usable power, faster charging, longer lifespan, and less maintenance.

Lead-acid batteries cost less upfront but have shorter life and lower performance.

Yes, most RVs can be upgraded with solar.

Each system should be designed specifically for your RV’s layout and your power needs.

Solar prep usually means basic wiring or a roof port is installed.

It does not mean the RV is ready for a full off-grid solar system.

Installation time depends on system size and complexity.

Larger systems with batteries, inverters, and wiring upgrades take longer but result in better long-term performance.

Yes, but output is reduced.

Battery storage helps maintain power during cloudy conditions.

Yes. Shade from trees or roof equipment can reduce performance.

Proper panel placement and system design are critical.

Yes. Your batteries can be charged from the alternator while driving, along with solar, shore power, and generator charging.

In many cases, yes.

A professionally installed solar system can make your RV more attractive to buyers.

Buying components without designing a complete system.

A proper system should be built around your actual usage and long-term goals.

It depends on your usage.

Important factors include whether you want to run AC, how often you boondock, and how much power you use daily.

Small systems may be manageable, but larger systems involving batteries, inverters, and high-current wiring are best handled by professionals.

Installation quality affects safety, performance, battery life, and long-term reliability.

A well-designed system performs better and lasts longer.
