    What is your backup power? Solar, wind. Generator, Earth Battery, Grid?

    ...this winter just going to plant it on a friends land for a few months and see how it goes. However, it is not near his house or near any power. Solar is great when it is sunny out. Thought about wind, but he says good luck. Generator is taking a beating running all the time. So what the heck...

    Great solar information!

    Some of the reasons I wish I had more real-estate for solar was addressed in this video! But as comprehensive as this video is, it would serve anyone looking into solar to invest the time to watch it. Not much technical stuff here, so it's great for someone that doesn't want to delve into the...

    Run refrigerator on 12volt without engine running thx to new solar

    I recently purchased a 2012 Roadtrek 3500 and installed 200 watts of solar panels. My main reason for the solar is so I can run my Dometic RM 8501 refrigerator during sunny daylight hours without having to use propane. According to the manual the 12 volt option is only available when the...

    looking at purchasing a 2021 as agile. Will the 330w solar panels keep the lithium batteries charged? Or will I need to be continually on shore power to charge? Thanks

    MOD Upgraded Solar with floating solar array on Girard awning mounts

    I was finding that my 400W factory flexible solar panels that are mounted on the curved hump of the Newmar New Aire roof, just were not doing it for me in the winter. I would still have to go out and run the generator for about 3 hours every other weekend to keep the lithium batteries charged...

    Solar Panel Placement

    Still kicking around putting solar panels on top of the coach. Has anyone put a panel on the bathroom cathedral top? Is there a reason not to? A 425 watt qcell panel would fit very nicely. As far as I can see, about all panels in the 300 to 425 watt are similar in size. I just don't know if...

    Solar problems

    I've got a 330 watt solar system. Everything was working fine until a couple of days ago. I lost all power from the panels. I started wringing out the wiring and found no power. I Googled it and found that by resetting the controller it might cure the problem but no luck. Is there an in-line...

    Connecting solar to my Lance 1985

    Hello, I just acquired a 2018 Lance 1985 and I want to add some solar panels (probably removable ones) to help keep the battery charged. I see two connections - on the top of the coach is a double male/female connector from GoPower: On the front passenger side below the battery compartment...

    How To Testing solar panels

    When getting my LiFePO4 batteries last fall I asked about testing my solar panels (Solar Energy Systems Indiana). I really wanted them to do it as I was diagnosed with incurable chronic laziness :unsure: but they told me simply throw a towel over each panel and watch the PV drop on your phone...

    A couple of solar questions

    I was poking around on the roof of the Dutch Star today and noticed a single solar panel mounted near the rear of the coach on top of the master bath roof section. I am assuming that it is to trickle charge the chassis battery but I have never seen mention of it in the manuals. Does anyone else...

    Solar Panels

    Does anyone have experience with the thin and flexible solar panels that are available? I have a 180 watt panel from the factory on my Rockwood Mini Light and want to add more and I’m looking for suggestions.

    Solar Generator

    I’m curious if anyone knows of a solar generator capable of powering a AC unit. Ours won’t run off of a standard household circuit (rather, it trips the breaker after a minute or so). If that’s not an option, is overkill better for the power needs? Since we work remote, being able to power a...
