RV Solar Power
RV’s require power to run, just like any home. However, carrying a generator may not always be practical. This is especially true if one is going deep into the bush where it would require one to carry a lot of fuel. Solar power is one of the most convenient solutions. It is also very friendly to the environment.
Solar technology has really come a long way. A while back, it used to be very bulky and required hours of installation. Newer models such as the ones we have require very little installation time.
We recognize that different people have different needs. While some may require operating a wide range of electronics, some just want a small panel that can light a few bulbs. Thus, we provide a variety of options to our potential clients. Our solar panels range from as little as a 1 Watt rating to over 18 Watts. All the solar panels available are sourced from renowned brands with a solid reputation in the industry.
In order to get the best quality from a solar panel, one should source for a professional installer. While it is possible to install a solar panel alone, it might lead to complications. For instance, one might end up utilizing only a small amount of the solar panel’s capacity. We also sell accessories that make using the solar panel much easier. This includes an Amp controller.
An Amp controller is an essential part of any solar panel set up. A solar panel gets it's power from the sun. Obviously, the charge it can generate varies throughout the day. This is because of difference in light intensity due to the sun moving across the sky. The Amp controller is thus important in controlling these surges in voltage from the solar panel. It ensures that the battery will charge from the solar panel and is stored and protected. Without it, the battery would blow up or suffer damage.
The Amp controller is available in both digital form and analogue form. Each type has its own advantages. The Amp controller also prevents the battery from discharging. Without it, during periods of low sunlight, the charge would begin to flow out of the battery towards the solar panel.
The store also has a full kit available for those who prefer to make a single stop for their solar panel solution. Buying from one supplier also guarantees one that all the parts will work together without a hitch. Other accessories available include a solar vent.
A solar vent can be especially important on a hot day. It helps keep stale air out of the RV. The solar powered vent would be a great addition to an RV. Essentially, it can reduce power consumption from the reserves of the RV. This can ensure that one can be on their camping trip for longer.
Solar panels, like any other device, wears out after some time. When this happens, one should be assured that our store has all their replacement needs readily available for cost-effective purchase and delivery.
