    US SOLAR PUMPS

    Ordered two spare Oasis pumps from US Solar. C1-E Circulating Pump | US Solar Pumps I chose the shipping option of USPS. It was the least expensive and I had a few days before we left the Escapees in Livingston TX. US Solar shipped the pumps quickly. The problem was when the pumps arrived at the...

    Solar, is it worthwhile?

    I watch this guy often. I don't agree with everything he published, but then, I guess that is across the board. Anyhow thought those contemplating solar might like it.

    LightShip 4 Now Starting Customer Evaluation

    Yes this feels right! We also know some customers are investigating auxiliary ground deploy systems that would boost the Lightship through the NACS while boondocking, further supplementing roof solar.

    Solar Issue

    Hi All. I’m having the hardest time getting up and going with our new Solar and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong?!? We have 3 100 w panels and 2 12 v batteries. We’re running through a 1500 w inverter. Extension cord runs to 15 Amp to 30 Amp dog bog that our trailer is plugged into. We’re...

    LightShip 4 Now Starting Customer Evaluation

    Actually the entire roof of the LightShip is nothing but solar panels, 1.8 kW in total. The solar array services both the 12 volt and 400 volt electrical system. Current firmware version of the bidirectional DC/DC charger only supports 12 volt charging. 400 volt charging will come with a future...

    Solar anyone?

    And I don't mean adding a couple of panels to the roof, I mean full-on-solar! This Solar-Powered RV Runs Without Fuel Or Charging Stations

    Solar vs. coverage

    This is the conclusion I came to 4 years ago at NRVTA. I won't live long enough to get that money back. IF you limit what your expectations are and use it for everything but AC, it works well.

    Is it possible to charge a portable Bluetti lithium generator from solar panel on roof of RV?

    Torque T314 - solar prep

    Hello, my T314 is 'prepped for solar'. Has anyone installed solar on this or similiar unit? I'd like at least 450 Watts. The company says it will accept a Furrion panel but they won't say if the wiring on the roof is specific to Furrion. Also, I don't want to use the GoPower charge controller...

    Adding Solar

    I have been thinking about adding a small amount of solar to our Dutch Star. On our recent trip, we met up with friends who also were traveling in their Dutch Star. They had experienced a minor problem that required the coach to be left for repair for a couple of days. They were not able to...

    Question Need advice from someone with knowledge on either 30A or 15A power systems

    If you're looking to sustain yourself off grid for a time you'd need something substantial. Even Lightship with it's massive solar admits that it's time off grid when running the a/c is reduced considerably.

    CA strikes again with CARB ACT

    Grid security? People died because the dependence on solsr proved to be a disaster in the blizzard..and they foolishly did not have nat gas reserves

    Thinking about 500 watts of solar

    I have been kicking around the idea of installing 5-600 watts of solar panels. I know I will have to do some measuring and layout planning. A couple of questions: 1) If I go 600, what would be required to convert down to 12v if I put 6 100 watt panels and wire them 2s3p? 2)I am thinking in terms...

    12 volt refrigerator

    ...should be 350-600 watts/ 30-50Ah. range, so calculate that along with any other expected daily load on the battery bank and match that to your solar capacity. From the reviews I'm seeing the 12v units perform very well. **Keeping in mind your solar capacity is highly relative to location and...

    If I am Boondocking and using my propane furnace will it cause any damage if my batteries die overnight? No solar, trailer not plugged into the truck.
