Because solar power is growing rapidly in popularity, the technology has already moved to creating an RV solar power system.
Many people who love RVs love getting out on the road. They love to see the sites, be at one with the open road and just go wherever the map and their intuition take them. There may be more people who would enjoy doing the same thing except for the fact that they have to leave a lot of the conveniences of residential living at home because of a lack of electricity.
But, thanks to the creation of the RV solar power system, those people who feel they can’t live without their electrical conveniences now have no excuse for not hitting the open road.
Because the use of this technology on RVs is newer than its use on residential units, there are a lot of misunderstandings that prevail. In order to clear up some of these items, the following questions and their answers are listed below:
• How many panels do I need for my RV solar power system?
There are a lot of formulas that a person can use to figure this out, but these formulas often end up requiring more panels than the RV has room for. So instead of using complex theories, an educated guesstimate might be the best choice.
One of the best things to do is simply buy a couple of panels and then test them out. If the owner feels it gives him all the energy he needs, then he is done. If not, these panels are easy to add.
But, if this does not seem like it will work, the RV owner can also simply plan to make sure he has between 75 and 120 watts for every 200 AH of house battery he might have. Following this guideline should give the owner a fairly good estimate of what his needs for his system might be.
• Are some panels more tolerant of shade?
Yes, some are. But, the fact of the matter is that any panel’s effectiveness will be reduced if shaded, however some are better designed to get through the shady spots in the day. If, for example, a single panel is completely shaded even though all others are collecting light, this does not necessarily mean there will be trouble.
It’s a fact that the panels must work together to move the energy from the panels to the rest of the RV solar power system. However, many of these systems are now designed to skip over the shaded panel in order to not hinder the energy being collected by all of the other panels.
• How can having an RV solar power system really help me?
The answer really depends on what a person’s desire is. If a person is the type who loves nothing more than to rough it without the frills and amenities of modern day, then he may not care to have a system like this.
But, if a person is the type who likes convenience and would like to be able to use things like radios, televisions, freezers, hairdryers, cell phones and other modern conveniences, then these can definitely be very advantageous.
It is important to understand the basic aspects of an RV solar power system. Doing so will help the RV owner better gauge what exactly his needs are going to be when he finally decides to make the purchase.
