Solar panels for motorhomes
#6
Start by assessing your power needs for the motorhome. Consider your appliances and devices to estimate the energy required. This evaluation will help decide the number and type of solar panels needed.

Solar panels come in different types—monocrystalline being more efficient but pricier, while polycrystalline is more budget-friendly but slightly less efficient. Choose based on efficiency and budget.

Calculate the total wattage required based on your power assessment. This guides the number of panels and the installation layout based on available roof space.

Invest in deep cycle batteries for storing the solar energy. These batteries are ideal for regular charging and discharging, commonly used in motorhomes.

Alongside panels and batteries, ensure you have a charge controller to manage battery charging and an inverter to convert DC power from panels into AC for devices.

Set a budget based on your needs. While quality often costs more upfront, it can save money over time through better efficiency and durability.
