Off grid caravan solar systems from the Perth experts
Your key to off-grid camping if done right! We will take the time to offer a solution for YOU!
A lot of trust has been lost with caravan solar systems over the years because of poorly designed systems and false promises. Our solar systems are designed with some simple but effective rules. We calculate your average daily power consumption in a worst-case scenario. Then we choose the suitable amount of solar power accordingly.
To make sure we also keep in mind variables like theoretical power output of a solar panel and real-world output of a solar panel (we add 50% solar power). Other variables that will affect your system performance are things like the weather and less than the ideal orientation of the panel (for a mobile application a flat-mounted panel is still the best option).
To overcome these we add another 50% on top. During field tests we have found this design rule, even if it is very crude, to be able to keep your caravan solar system charged under most conditions.
Caravan Solar System Installation Considerations – Capacity
Another very important building block of any off grid caravan solar system is the battery capacity. The right battery capacity will vary for most applications. The right battery capacity will depend on how you are using your system and also on your driving/camping habits. We will determine these variables with you and find a cost-effective solution that suits your needs.
All our systems use MPPT charge regulators. Usually integrated into a DC/DC charger that can also be fed from your alternator. That way you can charge while you are driving and while the sun is out and a panel connected. Most DC/DC chargers we use have a green priority setup. This means power from your caravan’s solar system always has priority over alternator power.
The DC/DC charger will use what it can get from solar and top up the rest from the available alternator power.
