Anything that plugs into a wall outlet in your home runs on AC, which causes a small problem. The power from your solar panel or wind turbine battery is DC (Direct Current), this is were a Power Invertor comes in, it will convert the DC current to AC.
RV (Recreational Vehicle) power inverters are designed for use with RV mounted solar panels. Having an RV solar power system is like having a mini onboard power plant. It allows you the freedom and flexibility to camp out where there is no conventional power source; what’s commonly known as living off the grid.
The key to portable solar powered success is investing in a properly sized power inverter. As with everything else, when you purchase an RV power inverter you get what you pay for.
A well made power inverter should be efficient at all input levels, rugged enough to stand up to changing environments and won’t overheat while providing the power to run your small appliances.
Various brand name inverters include Outback, Magnum, Xantrex and Go Power. Choosing and installing a properly sized inverter is a task best left to your local RV professional or alternative energy store.
In order to pick out an RV inverter perfectly suited to your needs, you will have to provide your local professional with some basic information.
You need to know what appliances are going to be powered with the system, how much power they consume (amp/hours), and the phantom load.
Phantom load is the electricity consumed by an appliance when it is turned off. Your television set is one example, but the worst offender is that cube shaped transformer used to charge cell phones. These transformers are 60% to 80% inefficient and should be unplugged when not in use.
The power consumption of each appliance is stated somewhere on the appliance itself, and is expressed in terms of AC watts or AC amps. What the RV owner really needs to know is the equivalent in DC amps, since that’s what the battery bank is supplying.
Where an appliance’s power consumption is expressed in terms of AC watts, one can use a simple formula to calculate the equivalent power expressed in DC amps:
DC Amps = AC Watts / 12 volts
Example: A TV set with a 100 (AC) watt rating used for one hour would consume 9.17 DC amps.
Look for an inverter with three distinct charging rates: a bulk charge at 100 amps; then dropping to a lesser rate as the voltage increases in the battery bank; and finally applying a float charge just sufficient to maintain the batteries in a fully charged condition.
The result is much faster recharging of the batteries, either from shore power or from the motor home or tow vehicle alternator.
The remote monitor and control mechanism mounted inside the coach performs a wide range of functions pertaining to both the inverter and charger functions. It also has the basic “on/off” switch for the inverter.
When “on”, the control panel provides information about whether the unit is operating in inverter or charger mode. If operating in the inverter mode it will tell you the present level of amps being consumed and the present voltage under that load.
If in the charger mode, it shows the present level of the amps in, along with the voltage at which it is being charged along with various warning functions pertaining to overheating and overloads.

To provide power for your RV you can install solar panels on the roof of your camper. The solar panels take the sunlight and convert it into electricity. Installing RV Solar Power can be quite easy with many companies selling RV Solar Kits, with some available for specific makes of RV’s
Many of today’s RV’s have a multitude of appliance that require power, so when deciding on what size of panels to get for your RV ensure they are big enough to give you enough electricity. Another way of providing power to your RV would be to use a small wind turbine.
If you use solar panels or a wind turbine the power you will get for your RV, will be free, silent and good for the environment.
RV Solar Panels can provide power to your RV while off the mains.

Today’s RV can now include everything from satellite television and central air conditioning to built-in electric fireplaces. However, this type of RV has one major disadvantage; they require large amounts of electrical power to operate. RV Solar Panels can help you produce some of this electrical power, for free. The solar panels take the energy from the sun and convert it to electricity for you to use.
An RV can be limited by their onboard battery capacity which will quickly be run down when powering larger loads like a color television. These large RVs require a generator to power their major appliances and air conditioning loads when not plugged in at an RV park. The problem with a generator is that is can be noisy, and if your looking for peace and quiet, you don’t want a generator chugging away in the background. An RV Solar Panel can help you with this and let you run your appliances when not plugged in at a park, this is also silent, free and environmentally friendly.
The panel will normally be mounted on the roof or truck bed, and many companies sell a RV Solar Kit that can make the installation of the panels easier. Some kits are also specially designed for your make of RV. Naturally you will have to get kit that will provide you with enough solar energy for all your appliances.
Most kits will come with:
- A panel, which size depend on how much power you need.
- A mounting kit for the roof off your RV.
- A Controller for regulating the charge from the panel to the batteries.
- The wiring you need to install the panels into your RV
Another option that you could use along with the panels is to buy a portable wind generator that will help to provide you with power for your RV.
The same options can be used to provide solar power to your boat or yacht.
