Solar Panels for Recreational Vehicles

You can set up camp anywhere with a solar-powered caravan or motorhome. 

Solar panels are an excellent way to keep your batteries charged while enjoying the peaceful scenery far from the madding crowd.  

Solar panels are quiet, affordable, durable, last for around 20 years and are low maintenance.

You may choose from 12 and 24 volt panels matched to the RV’s battery voltage. Panels come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit most vehicles or installation areas. Panels are charged while your vehicle is running so they are ready for all your camping needs when you get there. 

For your peace of mind, it’s a good idea to invest in a 240 volt battery charger so you don’t get caught out in a remote location.

For larger vehicles solar panels may be mounted to the roof, a method preferred by veteran campers for its convenience.

If you have a smaller vehicle we recommend portable solar panels. On a hot summer’s day these can be placed a few metres away in the sunshine while you rest in the shade. Some panels are foldable and are fitted with an easy-to-carry handle.
