We recommend four 160W solar panels when running a residential refrigerator, but sometimes you can get away with three if you aren’t running many other loads and you camp in sunny areas. With the Magnum hybrid inverter, this client can draw power from shore power and the battery bank at the same time. This makes a lot of sense when connected to a 15A source and you want to run large loads like air conditioners.

This client got a 640W Solar charging system with a 2000W inverter/charger. A system like this is capable of running a residential refrigerator, microwave and blender. Because a 70A charge controller was used, this system can be expanded in the future with the addition of two more 160W solar panels.

This client opted for a unique configuration with his lithium batteries and had us put them inside, under the couch. Wiring was extremely challenging but the installation was a success.

Four months prior these clients had us install four SF160 solar panels and a SunRunner Signature 40/2 Pro Core. On this installation they swapped out the Blue Sky components for Victron, added another 640W and got one of our 800Ah Signature lithium systems. Now they have 1280W of solar with one of the most advanced RV battery systems on the market.

This client needed a power solar charging system with the potential to upgrade to a lithium battery bank. They got 960W of solar panels and a Victron charge controller with Bluetooth monitoring.

This customer came to us with two solar panels and a Victron inverter. The solar panels had an incompatible Vmpp with our panels, so we had to remove them. But, we were able to keep the inverter. Now the customer has a 1280W solar charger.

This coach came to us with a complex battery management system that had to be bypassed with a network of diodes in order for the lithium battery bank to function. It was a challenging install, but everything worked out in the end. The customer now has a 960W solar charger with a 300Ah lithium battery bank and a 3000VA inverter.

8/29/2016 - 2013 Newmar Ventana 360HP, 34'
This customer purchased a 3024DiL controller and 2x SF160 solar panels from us and did most of the installation himself. We finished the job by adding a temp sense to his controller and a new bank of AGM batteries.
9/26/2016 - 2015 Tiffin Phaeton, 40'
These customers came to us looking for a solar charging system and battery monitor that would be compatible with a future lithium upgrade. We got them 1280W of 160W panels going through a Victron 100A charge controller and a BMV-702 battery monitor with Victron Color Control GX display.

9/8/2016 – 2015 Newmar Bay Star, 29'
This customer wanted to be able to run larger loads like a microwave or a blender from their battery bank so we added a 2000W pure sine inverter along with a 480W solar charging system. The roof mount combiner box was prepped for easily adding a 4th panel in the future. Batteries weren't added, but preparation was made to the battery bank for future expansion.
