What are RV solar panels?

Solar panels are the heart of your RV solar system. They’re usually mounted on the roof and made of silicon cells that generate DC electricity when hit by sunlight. Think of them as your “fuel pump,” pumping energy from the sun into your RV system. Panels come in two main types:

Can you put solar power in an RV?

Having a robust off-grid power system in your rig will give you the flexibility and confidence to camp anywhere! Putting solar on your RV is simpler than it sounds: panels capture sunlight, a controller manages the charging, batteries store the power, and an inverter (if you need AC) converts it back to 110V.

What are solar camping lights?

Solar camping lights are portable lights that contain a small solar panel. When that solar panel is exposed to the sun, it soaks up its energy and charges a built-in battery. This enables it to deliver the power necessary to illuminate the light, whenever you need it. The solar panel is directly integrated into the design of the camping light!

How do I choose a solar camping light?

If you want a solar camping light that’s very bright and will illuminate a large space (either inside or outside your RV or tent), then you’ll want to be sure to choose a solar camping light that offers a higher lumen count.
