FAQ's
Will the 1000W RV Solar System work for my RV?
Most of the time—yes! We can typically install this system on all kinds of RVs: motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, toy haulers—you name it. If your rig is under 30 feet or has limited roof space, we’ll want to double-check the layout and component placement.
We offer a paid consultation to evaluate your setup, and if you decide to move forward with an install, that fee rolls right into your project. This system is also fully customizable—so if your rig’s a little quirky or your power needs are unique, we’ll tweak the design to fit you perfectly.

Will the 1000W RV Solar System power my roof A/C?
Yep—just not all day long. The 1000W system can typically run a single RV roof air conditioner for around 6 hours, which makes it perfect for cooling off during the hottest part of the day or while you’re grabbing lunch at a rest stop.
A good rule of thumb? About 45 minutes of run time per 100Ah of lithium battery. So if you’re dreaming of longer A/C use, we can always add more batteries to keep the cool air flowing.
What if three 300Ah lithium batteries won’t fit in my RV?
No worries—we’ll design your RV solar battery bank to fit your rig and your floorplan. If three 300Ah lithium batteries aren’t the best match for your space, we’ll customize the setup to make sure everything fits and functions just right. It’s all part of building a solar system that works for you.
Do I need an EasyStart with the 1000W RV Solar System?
If you plan to run your RV air conditioner using solar power, then yep—an EasyStart is a must-have. It helps reduce the startup surge so your inverter and battery bank don’t get slammed when the A/C kicks on.
The 1000W package includes one EasyStart, which covers a single A/C unit. If your RV has more than one air conditioner, chances are you’ll need an EasyStart for each unit you want to run through the system. Don’t worry—we’ll help you figure out exactly what your setup needs during your consultation.
Disclaimer
Pricing reflects a typical RV solar installation. While we do our best to design a system that fits your rig before we ever turn a wrench, some RVs may need extra parts, wiring, or labor due to their unique layout. If that’s the case, we’ll let you know as soon as we do so there’s no surprises.
