solar panel

We have a ‘24 Montana 3531RE with the SolarFlex 220 system. It has a 2000w inverter that runs some of the 110v plugs. It came with a regular battery. We have two 200ah LifePo4 batteries to install in parallel. It has a MPPT 100/30 controller. Do we need to add anything to upgrade from one...

I'm a new Rockwood Mini Lite 2109s owner. Also new to camping. Can anyone advise on what choice makes most sense for folks who mostly expect to use full or near full hook ups and way less boondocking as it relates to the need for batteries and solar. Would it be the best to purchase an...

Hi all, I have a 2023 Coachmen Leprechaun 260DS and want to install solar panels. I notice that there is a solar connector on the roof, but can't seem to find a lot of information regarding solar for this RV. My questions are: 1. Can I connect 2 200 Watt panels via this connection? 2. Is...

I am entertaining the idea of solar panels as an additional power source. We have the ATS in our unit and looking at who has installed this setup and how you connected to existing 12V system.

I have a 2024 E to W Alta 2600krb with factory installed solar panels. Is there a fuse for the panels and where would it be located? It’s not in the breaker box inside the RV.

Hello all, Looks like the solar panel is not charging the battery. Controller shows 0v on the pannel and no charging activities. Is there a troubleshooting procedure?

I have no idea who made the panel but my controller shows no array current. I disconnected both battery cables and only show one volt going into the battery, when I first bought this trailer I disconnected the battery and was surprised that the radio was still playing. This is how I found out...

Hi, I'm hoping some of you have some insight from your experiences to improve my thinking. So, I am thinking of adding solar to the roof but do not want to drill holes to mount. Looking to use two BougeRV Yuma 200 Watt CIGS flexible panels rather than monocrystalline panels as a start. My...

I want to cover my RV roof with a tarp to protect against sun damage. I also want my solar panel to continue running to keep the battery charged. I put a clear vinyl window in the roof tarp, over the solar panel. I noticed a drop in the amps going to the battery, but everything still seemed...

Just returned from a hunting trip in my 2108DS, and unfortunately found quite a few problems that I'll have to address with the dealership. This was the first trip of 10 days in all kinds of weather boon docking, and the solar charging was an area that I think needs improvement. Purpose of...

My JayFlight SLX 264BH came with a 100 watt solar panel installed on the roof. It looks like its screwed into the roof. I want to add another panel, so I bought a 200 watt Renogy panel but am not sure on the best way to mount it. I have been reading some of the posts on this forum to get...

I'm adding a couple of 100w ground panels and a second SCC. Our roof array has plenty of capacity in sun, but we always camp in shade when possible. I've over-paneled so this is usually OK, but not always. I think 200w on the ground will be enough to make up the difference when we need it if I...

How can I determine the appropriate (or allowable) rating for an external solar panel (Flagstaff Microlite 22FBS). The label next to the plug says 20 amps. I assume that's the upper limit. But if I use a vary basic panel, with 400 milliamps output, will that keep the battery charged on a sunny day?

Hi, does anybody know the specs of the solar panels on a 21 36DS, and are they connected in serial or parallel on the roof? I want to add a couple more and need to get as close to the original specs as possible Thanks Nick

I recently had a local RV shop add a 200w panel in addition to the stock 80w panel on our 2021 Forest River Surveyor BHLE for a total of 280w. The solar controller was upgraded to a Go Power! GP-PWM-30-UL feeding two Battleborn 100ah batteries wired in parallel. There are three sets of...

Where is the best placement of an additional solar panel on a 2022 Winnebago Micro Minnie FLX.

140 watt zamp solar panels (2 70w panels) for solar ready Winnebago. I paid $600 in 2019, asking $400

I have a 2022 flagstaff 8529 csb that I am installing 4 100 watt solar panels on. My problem is the rats nest of wires behind the sticker on the switch panel. The two wires going to the battery are clearly marked and are capped off and terminate behind the sticker. The wires from the roof are...

Hi, We just ordered a 2025 Grand Surveyor 253RLS, and it comes with 400w of solar panels. I have not picked it up yet, nor gotten any training. Not new to RV'ing (2013 Kodiak 263RLSL), but new to Solar and all that new stuff. Does anyone know what the solar panels will power from the start? It...

I have a 2024 Arctic Wolf 27SGS fifth wheel. It has one solar panel and 1 battery.If I want to add another 100 watt solar panel, what do I need; another battery, rewiring, etc...? Also, would the benefit of adding the panel be worth the time and money? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone -- I have a Dynamax Isata 3 24FW 2023 equipped with 2 lithium batteries and a solar panel. I am trying to understand if my solar panel is charging my batteries. From what I can see, it doesn't looks like and my RV dealer is totally useless answering this basic question... Is there...

This is the first RV we have owned and or used. So, not sure if the issues are to be expected or not. We purchased a beautiful, 2024 Montana 3761fl in February and began living in it full time in June. The fifth wheel is absolutely beautiful with the right layout for our lifestyle. We do love...

I have a 2024 Forester 3011 that was delivered without solar panel and controller. It was supposed to have it, as per the dealer. I did however received compensation prior to delivery. I am at the point I will install the panels. I bought two 200 watt renogy panels and a renogy controller...

Hello everyone, I'm about to begin my solar "adventure", nothing crazy, just a two panel 200 watt setup, roof mounted. I've not yet decided if I'm going to use the screws and brackets included with the kit, or use plastic(abs?) corner supports and lap sealant. Will I hit anything using 1 5/8...
