DECIDING WHAT SOLAR SYSTEM YOUR APPLICATION NEEDS

DECIDING WHAT SOLAR SYSTEM YOUR APPLICATION NEEDS

28th Jul 2022

When it comes time to find a Solar System for your desired application, it may be kind of hard to choose the right one in order to maximize your needs and wants. Never fear, however, because in this blog we will be talking about how to decide on what solar products to get for Overlanding, RVs, and Marine applications.

Overlanding Vehicles

Having a Solar Setup when off road is such a great addition as it allows you to not only passively charge your vehicle’s battery, but as well as provide power for your appliances such as mini-fridges, power tools, equipment, and so much more. As someone who Overlands for fun, I can personally vouch for the benefits of having a second source of power on my vehicle. Not having to add fuel is a big factor in choosing which solar system to use. Equally important however, is having enough space to install your solar setup. Overlanding vehicles only have roof or bed rack options for fixed panels. Nevertheless, we have products that will suit your application needs in our Overlanding Collection. All of these solar solutions from our collection are great at giving you worry-free energy while staying off the grid, so you can power your lights, electric grills, TVs, and many other things with absolute ease.

Recreational Vehicles (RVs)

RVs are an excellent way of getting out with the family to explore the great outdoors. One thing that makes RVs unique is that they often have stoves, refrigerators, outlets, and many other amenities onboard, acting as a home-on-wheels. Operating these appliances is not usually a problem when you have a site with full hookups. But what happens if you go somewhere unmapped and there aren’t any hookups whatsoever? You can only run your appliances for so long until the existing power runs out. This is where Solar Energy systems come in. One upside to putting Solar on your RV is the amount of resources and accessories available to help ensure you get the best out of your solar power system. We have an abundant array of products to make your RV as energy independent as it possibly could be. To view all of our RV-specific products, please visit our RV/Camper Collection.

Marine Vessels

For those of you who want solar power for your Marine Vessels, do not worry, we have you covered too! We understand the challenges of incorporating solar energy systems aboard your boat, but rest assured we have solar products that will work well with your specific application. We have small panel kits, waterproof semi-flexible panel kits as well as portable generators to power instrumentation, navigation, and electronics in order to maintain your independence while on the water. So if you would like Solar Energy to be your Main or Backup source of power for your vessel, head on over to our Marine Collection.

As we close out this blog, we mentioned a couple of factors to keep in mind when thinking about going solar. That of which is your application’s available space, the product’s dimensions, how much power you will need to satisfy the needs of your application, as well as whether you will use Solar Energy as your main or backup power source.
