An Solar RV Kit can make it easier to install solar panels to provide power to your RV for all your appliances while off the mains.
The solar panels 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 panel easier.
You can also get kits that are specially designed for your make of RV. Naturally you will have to get kit
whose solar panel is large enough to provide you with enough electricity for all your appliances.
Most kits will come with:
- A panel, the size of the solar panel depends on how much power you need.
- A mounting kit for the roof off your RV, you can buy mounting kits that
angle the solar panel while parked. This helps you get the most power from the
panel.
- A Controller for regulating the charge from the panel to the batteries.
- The wiring you need to install the panels into your RV and connect them to
your RV's batteries.
An RV can be limited by the capacity of the batteries you have in your RV,
they will quickly run down when powering larger loads like a color television. These large RVs require
another way of providing electricity to power their major appliances and air conditioning loads when not plugged in at an RV park. An RV Solar Panel can help you with this and let you run your appliances when not plugged in at a park.
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.
