RV Grade Solar Panels Versus Residential Panels


RV Grade Solar Panels Versus Residential Panels

We are constantly talking to customers who are concerned that the RV solar panels they’re purchasing are not warrantied for RV use. A lot of companies try to sell solar panels as RV grade panels but when you look closely at the fine print you see that it says ‘not for use on mobile, RV and marine applications’. Many companies pick up panels and put a solar charge controller with cheap brackets on it and sell it as a kit, and when customers need a warranty claim done they realize they’ve thrown away their investment. We don’t want this to happen to anyone! That’s why we sell the highest grade off grid solar panels.

They even make trickle chargers and low wattage panels for small setups. We have spent a decade working with and selling these amazing products, and we’re glad to present them to the public. Let us know what we can do for you.

190 Watt panels are a great RV size and footprint

For years we sold the Go power 190 high quality solar panels. This robust size was powerful yet had a great form factor. These panels have recently been upgraded to 200 watts in the same form factor.

With Go Power panels you know you will get what you pay for. They are a little more exspensive and the quality is there to support the price.

Maybe save a few dollars with another RV solar panel brand.

There are always different panels that you can choose to build your solar array from. Always consider price versus quality. Solar panels are things you really don't want to have to replace. It is a pain, so choose what works for your RV or off-grid array.

The answer to your off-grid refrigerator might just be the Go Power AE-6 kit

Refrigerators in Class A, Class B and Fifth Wheels have gone to residential types. These residentials types will not runn off of your battery bank alone. You need an inverter, a large battery abnk and solar panels to operate seamlessly. A generator on board is always a good choice as well.

Designed for refrigerators and larger loads

More power from the sun for faster recharge times

Just add a battery bank of 500 to 1000 amp hours, and this kit will usually support your fridge off-grid. There will always be low light weeks where a short generator run or plugin will kepp you going. The AE-6 has the power to keep it charging and running. The six in the name is for 6 solar panels.

This is a great entry level Go Power's Inverter Charger Kit. They offer the Elite and Extreme kits. These have different amounts of solar and also different size Inverter units.

We have found these kits contain much of what you need for getting going with off-grid solar and inverter power. We have also added lithium battery and sealant as well
