What do I need for solar on my RV roof?

Solar budgeting is an important factor in any RV owner’s plan. The key to planning a budget for solar is seeing what you can spend versus how much roof space you have. If you have tons of roof space but don’t want to spend the money on solar panels then you could opt for a high efficiency 100or 190Watt Solar Panel, keeping in mind you could install an expansion kit later. If you don’t have the roof space, you could also get a portable solar kit to put in the sun while you’re parking in the shade. Also, you need to think about a proper automatic transfer switch, power inverter, battery charger and accessories. Go Power has a whole line of products for your RVs, Travel Trailers, Fifth Wheel Campers and Cabins. There are so many options therefore solar budgeting is key.

Looking at the wattageyou’ll need to run your RV or travel trailer is key to seeing what kind of solar kit and inverter you’ll need. Most people run on a 12 volt system which is easy to setup. We also have chargers and accessories for 24 volt and higher voltage systems.
