solar

I read with interest the other thread about converting to lithium, but using the stock hardware. This was my plan, and I have lots of other projects, so whenever I can use a stock item and reduce waste, I will. Setup: 2022 Nobo 19.5 with stock solar and 12v only fridge. Microwave was DOA on day...

I'm a very happy solar user. 400 watts of Renology on the roof and 2 x 6-volt FCLAs on the tongue allow me to boondock indefinitely (absorption fridge). If you're thinking about solar, this might be a good time to invest. Just got hit with an ad on FB showing 100 watt Renology panels for $85...

I would like to install 4 100 w panels on the roof of my Rockwood. I don't like climbing around on the roof now that I am in my 70s. I called the only local RV dealer that does this kind of thing. They quoted me a labor rate of $140 per hour. I cannot even believe this. Who else might be...

I was wondering, if you can do the 30% tax credit at tax time? Thanks

I am new to pop up camping. I just purchased a 2022 forest river rockwood 1910 sport pop up camper. I have the solar package and I can't for the life of me figure out how to switch to running the lights off of battery power. I spent about an hour trying to figure it out. Any help would be...

I have a 2023 Rpod model 201. As part of standard equipment, it came from the factory with a 200 watt solar panel, 30 amp controller and a 2000 watt inverter. I plan to upgrade my battery to a 100 Ahr LiFePo battery. To avoid juice coming into the battery from the solar system while I'm...

I added a 110 watt solar cell and an inverter with two electronic mouse chasers for winter storage. I am hoping it gets enough sunlight even with Michigan snow to Lee my battery above 50% running the inverter and normal parasitic load...

Howdy everyone! I would like to install a few solar panels on our 2016 24SR and I was wondering about the best wire routing from the roof to an accessible 12VDC of sufficient gauge? The 12VDC dist panel is under the bed in the back, I was thinking about going down through the closet. There...

We have a early year 2020 Real Lite 1604 with the solar connectors on the roof and a 115 ah AGM battery. We are looking at 2 or 3, 100watt flexible solar panels for the roof. Is it just a plug and play scenario or is there a charge controller we need to invest in? I understand that gluing these...

Wondering if the solar system in my 2022 DynaQuest 3801TS charges the truck batteries.

I have an Epever MPPT 30A solar controller, model Tracer3210N. It's hooked between two Renorgy 100 watt panels and two Weize 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries. I got the Epever software and cable and reprogrammed the controller to charge these batteries, using the specs that came with them. I've left...

Fresh owner of an A122S that came with roof mounted solar panel. Since it's fixed mounted, I can only expect it to work as a charger while traveling to keep the fridge cold. Would this mean I would not connect the aux power on the 7 pin plug from the TV? Anyone has experiences with this setup?

I will probably have to keep the bus outside this winter. I have two 170 panels on the roof. Do I need to worry about the snow load.

Recently purchased a 2022 265RLS and are looking to add a Solar panel kit to it come Spring. The 265RLS is advertised and sold with the 'Solar Prep kit'... what exactly does this include and where can the wiring be found in my rig? I have seen pictures of the roof top connections but I am...

We have a Flagstaff Microlite 21DS. Considering covering for winter (parked in driveway in TX). We have a solar panel on top. Not sure what covering the panel will do other than not charge the batteries. We plan to keep the RV plugged in to shore and leave the batteries installed. Inverter...

Is the in-line solar panel positive cable fuse located inside the interior wiring junction behind the Go Power control module, outside the trailer in the solar power positive cable connected to the battery, or in the fuse panel? I have either overlooked it or simply can’t find it.

2023 Cherokee Wolf Pup 22RR It has the factory installed battery and solar panel. Outside of using the AC unit, How long can you last before the battery is dead? It may matter, so this time of year, in Northern ON.

I got two 100 watt renogy panels I am planning on installing to rhino tracks I bought. I am concerned on where to drill through the roof for the wire panel. Anyone got recommendations on where I should attach this and why? I am planning on have the cabinets on the driver side with a roll over...

This report discusses the updates I made to the solar panel system of my motorhome. The solar panels are often given the name “photo-voltaic,” with the acronym PV. An earlier 2015 description of my installation is at...

I want to upgrade my 2000 CO to eventually have solar 100W, I'm getting a 100w 12V Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery, a 1000w inverter and a 30amp dc to dc charger MPPT all Renogy components. I guess I will also need some sort of Automatic Transfer Switch. Does anyone have wiring diagrams from...

This is my first tt. Bought it to haul a couple Indian motorcycles to riding destinations. We LOVE it. I am very sorry as I’m sure this has probably been asked several times in the forum but I haven’t been able to come up with the correct search terms to find the answer. SO- Grey Wolf 25RRT with...

I'm about to put one or two panel on my rv, mostly to keep 12v fridge running. I have seen advice from explorist youtube series to have voltage coming into the MPPT controller 20 v over that voltage of the battery. I'm looking at a Rich 200w panel which seems to have max 20.4 volts. So with a...

I have a 2021 FR3 34ds that came with a Merlin Travelpro 30 controller. It comes with one panel but can handle up to three panels. What panel should I be trying to purchase to match or at least be compatible with the existing one?

Just an FYI if you’re having landing gear sensor errors. We have a ‘22 Chaparral 336TSIK with the factory installed solar panel and associated components. Since day 1, we would sporadically get a rear leveling system sensor error when leveling/raising the gear and would have to go inside...

I have two 100W solar panels in parallel with unstable Amperage readings and fluctuate between 6.xA and up to 7.9A total. I get solid readings up to 5.9A from both using them individually. I should be getting up to 11.8A solid readings when in parallel. Tested today with no clouds or cover...
