HOW TO CHOOSE A SOLAR PANEL FOR YOUR MOTORHOME?
21st Jun 2022
When looking to buy solar panels for your motorhome, it’s important to figure out which panels will be most beneficial to you, your family, and your application. Are you someone who wants to use solar power as one of their main power sources or are you someone who wants to have it as a backup in case of an emergency?
Another factor to consider when choosing a solar panel is its dimensions and how many you will need for your vehicle. Throughout this article, I will be discussing how to best choose your next solar panel for your home away from home.
Those of you who own motorhomes probably want panels to extend your capabilities off the grid without the headache of added gas and maintenance for your onboard fuel generator. You also may want some way to passively charge your vehicle’s battery while off the grid as well as help power your onboard appliances. What if we told you that you could achieve all of that and always have sustainable clean energy without the headache. Look no further than our brand NEW1440W & 2880W 24V Monocrystalline Solar Panels (4X360W) or (8x360W).
These panels are great for larger motorhomes due to their size and capabilities. The panels itself measure 5.76ft in length, 3.4ft width, and 1.38in thickness. If your motorhome is 25 to 40ft long, these will make perfect additions to your rig. Pair these panels with our charge controller and inverter and you’ll be more than ready for whatever you may face while off the grid.
For those that have a smaller motorhome and still want the benefit of adding solar capabilities, don’t worry because we can also help you with that. We have many options for this application. The first of which is our 100W 12V Monocrystalline solar panel. With a length of 3.2ft, a width of 1.74ft, and a thickness of 1.18in, this panel makes mounting to a smaller motorhome super simple and easy. Pair this panel with one of our charge controllers, batteries, and inverters to give you the ability to power small appliances with ease.
Another option for smaller motorhomes would be our NEW 100W Compact 12V Mono Solar panel. As the name suggests, this panel is compact and smaller than our 100W Mono Solar Panel discussed above, which allows for more mounting positions. The 100W compact 12V solar panel is a great option for those who prefer to use solar panels as backup power source.
Another factor in choosing a panel for your motorhome is how you will mount them. All Newpowa panels are designed with pre-drilled holes that are compatible with our universal brackets to provide an effortless mounting solution on your motorhome.
Now if you are wondering which panels or solar kits to choose for your Airstream, Overlanding Rig, Tiny Home, Boat, or shed, please stay tuned as that will be our upcoming topics!
