We’re often asked if it’s possible to stay in the RV during an RV solar installation or electrical system upgrade. The short answer is no. Your RV won’t be connected to power during the installation process, and for safety and liability reasons, our lease and insurance policy don’t allow overnight stays while work is being done.

Instead, we recommend making alternate lodging arrangements during your install. The great news is, our central Florida location makes it easy to turn this into a short vacation. Many of our customers take the opportunity to explore local attractions like the Disney parks, the Everglades, nearby beaches, or even set out on a cruise. We’ve put together some recommendations to help you plan—check them out here.

A typical RV solar installation takes about 4 to 5 days from start to finish. That can vary depending on how complex your system is and what kind of components or upgrades you're getting—like lithium batteries, inverters, or a full off-grid setup.

When we schedule your RV solar install, we’ll give you a heads-up if we think it’ll take more or less time. And if anything changes along the way, we’ll keep you in the loop.

Whether you're adding solar panels, upgrading your RV's electrical system, or going all-in on off-grid power, we’re here to make it smooth and stress-free.

We prefer a bank ACH transfer, check or cash, however, we do accept debit and credit cards.
A combination of payment types can be done as well.

For all services and installations, we collect a 50% non-refundable deposit at the time of scheduling. Once the installation is completed the remaining balance is due prior to taking possession of the RV.

Yes, an RV solar system can power your roof air conditioner—but not continuously around the clock. How long the A/C can run depends primarily on the size of your lithium battery bank, not the solar panels themselves.

As a general rule, 100Ah of lithium battery capacity will run a standard RV roof air conditioner for approximately 45 minutes. However, actual performance can vary based on factors like weather conditions, RV insulation, and the size and efficiency of the A/C unit.

Estimated A/C Runtime by Solar System Size (Without Additional Solar Charging):

• 600W RV Solar System – powers one A/C for up to 3 hours
• 1000W RV Solar System – powers one A/C for up to 6 hours
• 2000W RV Solar System – powers one A/C for up to 10 hours

These systems are perfect for situations like cooling your RV during a lunch break at a rest stop or for temporary use on travel days.

Planning to Run Your RV A/C on Solar? Let Us Know!

If you plan to run your roof air conditioner using solar and batteries, we highly recommend including an EasyStart soft starter. This device reduces the initial power surge required to start your A/C, helping protect your system and extend battery life.

Want Longer Runtime?

You can always increase your A/C runtime by adding more lithium batteries. Just keep in mind: no RV has enough roof space to support enough solar panels to power an air conditioner 24/7, day after day.

Absolutely—it can! But the size of your solar system matters, depending on what kind of fridge you're running.

If you’ve got a residential-style refrigerator or a large 12V DC compressor fridge, we highly recommend going with at least a 1200W solar setup (that’s our 1000W System plus an extra panel). These larger fridges draw more power, especially if you're off-grid for extended periods.

For those of you with smaller campers and a compact 12V DC compressor fridge (usually under 6 cubic feet), a smaller solar system is usually plenty to keep things cool.

If your RV has a standard absorption fridge (the kind that runs on 2-way or 3-way power), we suggest switching it to propane mode while boondocking or dry camping. These fridges are much more efficient on propane than they are on electricity.

A chassis charger—also known as a DC to DC charger or a Battery Isolation Manager (BIM)—helps keep your RV’s house batteries charged by pulling power from your motorhome or tow vehicle’s alternator while the engine is running.

This RV electrical upgrade is especially useful for smaller rigs like Class B vans, truck campers, small Class C’s, or DIY camper conversions. These types of RVs are often on the move and may not have enough roof space for a full solar setup, making a chassis charger a smart addition to your RV solar system.

If you're driving your rig frequently and need a reliable way to top off your house batteries without relying solely on solar panels or shore power, we highly recommend installing a chassis charger.

For larger RVs, fifth wheels, and travel trailers—especially those with big battery banks and more roof space for solar panels—a chassis charger usually isn’t necessary. In those cases, investing in a properly sized RV solar installation might be a better option.

A hybrid inverter charger is a super handy piece of RV gear that does more than just convert power. Like a standard inverter charger, it switches between turning 12V DC battery power into 120V AC (so you can run your regular household appliances) and charging your RV’s battery bank when you're plugged into shore power.

But here’s where the hybrid part shines: it has an “assist” feature. This mode can boost your available power—by adding up to 20 amps! That’s a game-changer if you’re using a small generator or plugging into a regular 15-amp household outlet while moochdocking. It helps prevent tripping breakers and keeps more of your RV’s electrical systems running smoothly.

If you're thinking about upgrading your RV's solar or electrical system, a hybrid inverter charger is definitely worth considering.

We specialize in RV solar installations and electrical upgrades, so we stick to components that support those systems. While we don’t install general RV accessories, we do install MicroAir EasyStarts on RV air conditioners. These are essential if you want to run your A/C off your inverter without risking damage—so they’re a smart upgrade for any solar-powered RV setup.

We totally get the DIY spirit—it's a big part of RV life! However, due to our business insurance policy, we're unable to offer guidance or consultation on do-it-yourself RV solar installs or electrical upgrades. If you’re looking for a professional RV solar installation or help upgrading your RV’s electrical system, we’re happy to provide full-service solutions tailored to your rig.

While we’d love to help everyone go solar, we focus exclusively on RVs, cargo trailers, and mobile setups. That means we don’t offer solar installations or consultations for residential or permanent structures like homes, cabins, or sheds. Our passion is helping RVers upgrade their electrical systems and enjoy off-grid adventures with confidence!
