Installing Our Solar Panels Part 2 // RV Solar Setup For Boondocking

Learning how to install RV solar panels can be a bit overwhelming. Even though we had solar panels on our previous RV, we decided we wanted to upgrade our entire RV solar system to give us more than enough energy to live comfortably on the road.

As we work from the road, our primary focus was to be able to keep all of our electronic devices powered up and, of course, to keep the lights on without stressing out our battery bank.

And with a limited budget, we made some decisions to increase our DC power capacity without spending a whole lot of money.

In this episode, we'll show you not only what RV solar panels we installed on our roof, but also walk you through how we installed them and connected them with each solar component.

We're not experts. And your RV solar installation may look different.

But if you pay attention to the criteria we used in determining the best solar installation for our RV then you should be able to adapt your RV solar to meet your specific needs.

We are big Renogy fans so we use Renogy products almost exclusively in this RV solar installation.
