RV Tip #2
SOLAR POWER-
THE NEW WAY TO RV
Are you confined to
certain rv parks because you need electricity? Or
are you using a generator that costs too much in gas?
Would you like to be independent of these confinements
and gas costs?
Consider trying
RV Solar Panel Kits, they can give you the freedom to
travel anywhere you want for as long as you want without
worry. Your generator will now act as an accessory
rather than a necessity and may eliminate it all
together.
A Solar Power Panel or Kit is
designed to keep your RV batteries charged so you can
have light and operate other RV appliances. This
allows you to go anywhere you want in the USA. Every
year thousands of people install solar charging systems
on their RVs. Why? A solar system can put an end to
battery worries, allowing you to dry camp without giving
up the luxury of electricity. From simple battery
maintenance to full-time live aboard power, Solar RV
Kits come in a range of sizes and can be installed on
RVs, campers, trailers, 5th wheels and motorhomes.

SELECTING A SOLAR POWER
BATTERY-WHAT TO CONSIDER
When
Selecting a Solar Battery Charger for Your RV Consider
These Items:
1. Batteries are exposed to varying temperature
extremes:
If not taken into consideration, this can lead to plate
sulfation and/or excess water loss. It is important to
include battery temperature compensation in the charge
controller.
2. Operating
of solar panels:
Solar panels operate at higher than normal temperatures
when laid flat on the roof of RVs, from which they
suffer a voltage drop. Make sure your solar panels are
rated at about 17 volts or higher in order to allow for
this voltage drop and still be able to fully charge your
battery.
3. Use of
charge controllers:
The use of incorrect charge controllers may lead to
unsatisfactory performance and possible battery damage.
What Type of System Do You
Need?
The selection of a power system starts with a look at
your current power needs and the type of camping you
enjoy (i.e. weekend, extended or fulltime). If your
power demands increase for any reason, solar systems are
easily expanded.
If
you are interested in having freedom to travel anywhere
in the USA consider Solar Power. For more
