    Motorhome storage

    When we had ours in storage (with no shore power) for sometimes up to a month we used a 200 watt portable solar panel with a built in controller. We never had a problem. It was very easy to use. It came with Alligator clamps that tied directly to the hose batteries. We had a Go Power but...

    Tip Balanced Solar system

    With some experience with Solar I’ve found that having too much of any component can lead to dissatisfaction with Solar products. Also, understanding the installation and installer intent is equally important. Having a bunch of panels that max out the inverter can be efficient or annoying. My...

    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.

    CA strikes again with CARB ACT

    Solar and wind generation in Texas have largely contributed to grid security. Yeah, lets not take advantage of free wind and solar.

    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...

    Charging from solar panel.

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

    LightShip 4 Now Starting Customer Evaluation

    I would think solar would be an ideal way to keep batteries topped off or charging while underway. I'm not sure if the LS roof is conducive to solar panels, even if the flexible type.

    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...

    Motorhome storage

    Thank you for your response! We have a roof top 175 watt solar panel. I just don’t know whether it is connected to the house batteries or the chassis batteries. House batteries appear to be liquid acid cell batteries and am concerned about boiling them out with all of the sun. Thank you

    Fridge on or off

    I stored mine outside as well. I have 400 W on the roof more than enough to charge my LARGE AGM’S batteries during storage. I turn off the cab electrical and the house electrical nothing‘s on, just solar charging the batteries.
