Solar Gear On Your RV?
Nice.
Whether it came from the factory, a previous owner, or your own DIY hustle, we’re here to take it to the next level. At Great Outdoors Solar, we specialize in RV solar installations and flexible RV electrical upgrades that work with what you’ve got—not against it. Need a better inverter? More solar panels? A serious RV battery upgrade? We’ve got you. These services are perfect for travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and motorhomes that just need a boost—not a full-blown overhaul.
Lithium batteries have built-in management systems which they utilize to protect themselves from damage, and require zero user maintenance. Upgrading and/or expanding your batteries is the best way to get more power from your RV.

Disclaimer
We try to keep it simple, but RVs love surprises.
Our prices cover typical installations—but let’s face it, no two rigs are exactly alike. If your RV needs extra materials, wiring, or time to get things done right, we’ll let you know as early as possible. We aim to catch everything up front, but if your RV throws us a curveball mid-install, we’ll keep you in the loop and work out a solution together.
