RV Solar Panels
You may own a RV (recreational vehicle), and not be aware of the solar panel solutions that are available to you.
One of the benefits of installing RV solar panels is that they are able to produce electricity in remote locations.
An example of this is if you travel in your vehicle to a remote location, you will then have a means of generating electricity from solar panels.
The cost of RV kits can range from around $400 to $1000, depending on the power output you require.
RV solar cells come in a variety of packages, which include starter kits or RV solar array extensions for addition to a current RV solar electricity system.
The most common way to
attach RV panels is by fixing them to
the roof. This is done by using mounts which screw into your RV roof.
The downside to this method is that you have to drill holes into your vehicle, which can prove to be a very unpopular decision.
An alternative to roof mounted solar panels, is a mobile solar electricity kit.
This method requires storage space when travelling, and the time to fix it up at your destination. This method is also slightly better, for a number of reason, the main reason been that you do not have to drill holes into your RV, which means when you come to sell it, the value isn't affected by the "do it yourself holes" in the roof.
A different way of thinking about the mobile panels, which don't directly attach to your vehicles roof, is that when you finally come to sell your vehicle, your solar panel can quite easily be taken out of the storage space, and placed in your brand new RV, which eliminates the cost of purchasing new panels.
If you own a recreation vehicle, we strongly suggest that you take a look around at the opportunities available to you.
Some RV owners have found that by combining a small wind turbine with an RV solar panel installation, they are able to provide a reliable and significant source of electricity through the use of solar and wind energy.
