Solar panel

Recommendations on solar panels for my RV

  • Solar panels now days are so cheap and pretty much all of them are imported from China, I would say, find the lowest cost per watt and roll with that.

    Looking for specific name brands on these is going to waste your budget and time.. There are a lot of name brand loyalists here and they won't be real happy about my suggestion..

    You will also need a solar controller, buy one that has plenty of capability up front, 20A-30A is a good start for 200W-300W worth of panels.

    HERE is a Amazon search that will get you started..

    Make sure the panels will fit you space before purchasing, 100W panels tend to be pretty long (4 ft)..

    You might also wish to consider what your goals are like 100% off the grid, part time weekender off the grid and so on, makes a difference in your application..

    Batteries also play a roll, long weekend warrior, single group 24 or 27 even with several hundred watts worth of panel isn't going to cut it..
