Video: RV Solar 101 - Solar Explained for Beginners

Solar can be a confusing topic that a lot of people misunderstand. In these two videos, we break it down so easy a child can understand it. :)

  • I think the videos are really well done.

    I carry a generator, but rarely use it because my 100 W solar panel keeps my batteries happy, and I'm fine with sticking to 12V when I'm boondocking.

    (I blew a generator only guy's mind when I went a full week without using the generator at all. Just the solar panel was plenty to run the propane fridge, water heater, furnace, water pump, and some lights.)
  • I viewed your 101 and 201 videos. They are very good. I would have said some things differently but that will always be the case. :)

    Are you going to add on to the series?
  • yeah, I struggled to know where to put this. I have no issues if a mod wants to move this to tech.
  • sending them to Tech is ok however, landing here for beginner questions/research is not such a bad thing.

    I found them very informative.

    JMHO
  • Thanks for this, but I'd suggest these tutorials need to be in Tech issues.
