These kits come with a variety of components, perfect for any level of setup from just needing the panels and cables to needing everything. Some kits are even portable so you can move them around no matter where you are.
What comes with a kit?
The most important thing that comes in every kit is the solar panel. The solar panels range from 100W panels to multiple 200W panels. This may leave you wondering which kit will work for you. That’s an easy answer when you break down what all you’re planning to power with this kit. Knowing how much power you’re going to need is going to make the rest of the kit buying experience a piece of cake.
All you need to know is how much power you consume in a day or trip. Which if you’re upgrading to solar power, you likely already know this number. If you don’t and have been on a few trips, take the time to calculate out how much would get used in a typical day/trip. Knowing your battery sizes is also helpful as the general rule of thumb with solar panels is that a 100W solar panel can produce about 30 amp hours per day. This will allow you to see how many and what size solar panel you need based on usage and battery size.
The next part included in most kits is the negative and positive extension cables. These cables will allow you to mount your system further from the solar panels themselves rather than having to put everything all right on the roof.
The complete kits also come with an inverter, a controller, and a 100 AH lithium battery. The charge controller will help protect your system by regulating voltage and charges between your panels and batteries. The 12V battery will hold the power gathered from the solar panel and store it for when the sun isn’t around. And your inverter will take the 12V DC power from your panels and batteries and convert it to usable AC power for your rig.
The variety of our kits will allow you to find the perfect match to your setup. This low maintenance addition to your RV will be the perfect thing to get you powered off-grid and keep your home running long into the night.
