ILLUMINATING BONDS - A FATHER-SON JOURNEY INTO RV SOLAR
14th Jun 2023
Father's Day is a day we show gratitude for the extraordinary fathers who have shaped our lives. I set out on a personal quest this year to celebrate my father in a way that would strengthen our relationship and repay him for all the advice and assistance he has given me over the years.
Being that he just bought his very own RV, I realized it was the ideal time to start a new experience with my dad. Together, we started looking into what we’d need in order to go solar on his RV, such as solar panels, mounts, charge controllers, inverters, and batteries. Once we learned more about what components we’d need, it was time to look at his RV.
We took a tour of his beloved RV and carefully assessed its electrical requirements. In order to determine the ideal number of panels and batteries needed to power the necessities, we measured and calculated how much space he had to work with as well as how many things he’d like to run. As we progressed, a significant connection formed, further signifying our unbreakable bond.
In addition to the practical advantages of going solar, I stressed the environmental benefits of embracing solar power. RVs are notorious for their carbon footprint, fueled by the gas consumption required to keep them running. By adopting solar power, we could contribute to a cleaner, greener planet—a legacy we could pass on to future generations.
As the day drew to a close, my dad's enthusiasm for solar power was unwavering. He embraced me with gratitude, expressing his appreciation for introducing him to a world he had never before considered exploring. His eyes gleamed with anticipation as he eagerly anticipated the next step: acquiring all the necessary components to bring our solar vision to life.
This Father's Day was truly a milestone etched in our hearts. It transcended the conventional celebrations, allowing us to deepen our bond over our shared love for RVs and our united passion for sustainability and the environment. Through the power of solar, we now embark on a future where we can continue to explore and travel together, fueled by the radiant energy of the sun.
Be Wise, Go Solar!
