    Batteries for my Solar Panel

    I'm totally confused about what I should do. Should I buy one 200ah Lithium battery or two 100ah Lithium batteries. My fridge is 12volt only. The solar panel is 165watt and the solar charger controller is an Furrion MPPT 25A. Also are these difficult to install ? Thanks

    Best solar options for 5th wheel trailer used as site cabin?

    Ah the land of entrapment. The nickname says it all. 18 years, and never again. Portable is good. Before you mount solar on a ground mount look up all the red tape that political corruption will have you going through. I won't advocate solar generators, because they are to limited, and...

At the moment it runs on generator but I am looking foward to getting solar power and batteries when going to any national parks or places where generator is not allowed and there is no...

    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

    Looks like someone (cough: @ARD) needs some solar and LiFePO4's. I have some enabling to do upon return.

    Question Adding/using Solar

    Just looked at a 2019 Sporstcoach srs365 RB that I am in the process of buying. I found a receptacle on the side that says "SOLAR". Do I have to add anything if I want to buy a panel? I've heard about control panels and that, but never paid much attention. Not that we do a lot of boondocking...

    Battery solar charger

    I'm wondering if there is a true solar charger for an rv battery that charges by the sun and doesn't have to be plugged into the pickup cigarette portal.

    MOD Should have done this years ago

    I did finally find a snippet that said they would heat if power is available. I am not a solar guy(yet), but I would think 14.4 is 14.4 regardless of whether it is coming from the inverter/charger or the solar charger

    Question Portable Solar Generator - Bluetti

    I have a Keystone Fusion Toy Hauler, and want to install solar. A Bluetti AC300 with two batteries and solar panels providing 24kwh when fully charged is about half the cost of a hard solar system install. Does anyone have any experience with the Bluetti and will it provide for my needs the...

    Solar Panel Operation Question

    ...stolen from different storage facilities around Houston, we recently downgraded to a smaller Coachman Spirit 2963BH. This one came with a 100W solar panel preinstalled on the roof, and we attached the loose cables near the battery to the +\- poles as labelled. What is required for the...

    LightShip Update 7/28/25

    I am not aware LightShip ever suggested the solar output would support TrekDrive. I am told the LightShip in tow of a pickup truck, following in the aerodynamic wake of the pickup would require about 15 kWh at highway speeds to allow the tow vehicle to return to about the same MPG efficiency as...

    Solar Update

    So here is my story and I'm sticking to it. This year has been interesting on the solar front for me. The amount of solar I have installed has gone up and down through the years. I started with one 230 watt panel many years ago. Then it went to 1150 a few years later. I kept that for about 5...
