Solar technology of the current era is jumping leaps and bounds ahead of the technology of yesteryear. Becoming mainstream is the process of installing RV solar panels. Some of the installations I’ve had the joy of helping build could very easily power the whole RV’s energy needs throughout a whole evening at full load. These units provide bonuses that the average generator user won’t see.

For starters, they are always helping you charge your batteries when the sun is out. This even includes cloudy days that don’t provide direct sunlight to the panels. Modern cells have grown so efficient that even on cloudy days you can expect to see over 50% energy output.

A key to the making of your own d-i-y RV solar panels is this: don’t buy the cells new.There are actually many sources of damaged cells for very low cost when compared to buying them new.

Ever go to a camp site and hear a generator running all throughout the night? That’s the guy you don’t want to be. I know this because I used to be this guy. I have seen my share of complaints because even a small “whisper quiet” generator can be heard from 300 feet away when you’re surrounded by families trying to sleep in close quarters. With RV solar panels, this isn’t a problem. Your trailer/RV likely charged itself up when you had it sitting in your driveway. This means you’re good to begin using quiet electricity right from the moment you drive in.

RV solar panels also have a hidden benefit that isn’t always evident - they provide shade on hot summer days! I didn’t expect this until I found that the temperature inside my trailer was noticably cooler when parked in the sun. Granted, I have a large number of RV solar panels, but the benefit is there even so.

With a simple assembly of your own RV Solar Panels, you stand to save hundreds, if not thousands, over the lifetime of the panels.
