What you need for an RV solar system

  • Solar panels turn sunlight into DC power. Choose rigid panels for permanent roof mounts, flexible panels for curved or weight-sensitive roofs, or portable folding panels and blankets you can set up in the sun while you park in the shade.
  • A solar charge controller sits between the panels and your batteries. It regulates voltage and current so your batteries charge fully and safely without being overcharged.
  • Batteries store the energy for night use. Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries need a controller with a lithium charging profile.

How much solar does my RV need?

As a starting point, add up the watt-hours you use per day, then divide by about 5 peak sun hours. A weekender running lights, a water pump, fans and phone charging often gets by on 200 to 400 watts. Running a 12V compressor fridge, a residential fridge on an inverter, or working remotely usually calls for 600 watts or more, paired with a lithium battery bank.

MPPT vs. PWM charge controllers

MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) controllers convert excess panel voltage into extra charging current. They typically harvest 15 to 30% more energy than PWM, especially in cold weather and when panels are wired in series. PWM controllers are simpler and more affordable, a good fit for small 12V systems where the panel voltage closely matches the battery. For lithium battery banks and larger arrays, we recommend MPPT.
