Description

Adding a solar power system to an RV can create added convenience and savings. Solar panels produce energy from the sunlight, an abundant and renewable energy source. Adding solar panels can help you dock and park your recreational vehicle without a power hookup, potentially resulting in cost savings and greater freedom. Unlike traditional gas generators, Renogy 400 Watt 12 Volt Solar RV Kit silently recharges your batteries so you can enjoy the great outdoors without the extra noise. Solar panels allow you to run limited low watt electricdal equipment without a power hookup.

Renogy RV Kits are carefully arranged to meet your RV needs. This kit includes four 100W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panels, one Adventurer 30A PWM Charge Controller, one 30ft 10AWG Solar Adaptor Kit, one 16ft 10AWG Tray Cable, three pairs of Branch Connectors, a BT-1 Bluetooth Module and one Renogy Cable Entry Housing.

The Adventurer 30A PWM Charge Controller is specifically designed for RV applications as it allows for aesthetically clean flush mounting on walls and is negative-grounded for battery compatibility. It also features an LCD screen for displying system operation information and data and allows for full control of parameter settings. The control is embedded with self-diagnostics and electronic protection functions that prevent damage from installation mistakes or system faults.

Newly added BT-1 Bluetooth Module enables user to pair the charge controller with our smartphone app DC Home. The APP allows you to view system performance in real time and make parameter changes right from your smartphone.

1. What do I need to complete my off-grid solar power system ?
 

A solar panel has to be connected to a charge controller to regulate current, and a battery to store the electrical power. You will need adapter kit cables to wire the solar panel(s) and charge controller, and tray cables connecting the charge controller to a deep-cycle battery.

2. What does off-grid and on-grid mean ?
 
On-grid simply means solar power equipment (array or solar panel) is connected to the electrical grid, while off-grid refers to systems that are not connected to the grid and therefore store the generated power for later use. Off-grid systems are not affected by grid blackouts.
3. Why is my solar panel under producing ?
 
Solar panel performance may be hindered for a number of reasons. Most commonly environmental conditions such as indirect sunlight, temperature rise, cloudy sky, and dirt and stain build up on the top glass will cause a reduced power output.
4. How should I connect solar panels in my electrical circuit (series vs parallel)?
 
Solar panels can be connected in series or in parallel to meet your electrical circuit size and power demand. Connecting solar panels in series will have the effect of adding up their operating voltage output, while system current output will be the same as that for one panel. While, connecting solar panels in parallel will have a different effect; individual panels operating current output will add up to be the system output current, while system output voltage will be the same as the output voltage of one solar panel. To meet the optimum power output and system rating for your power system, you can use both parallel and series connections.
5. How many solar panels do I need ?
 
The best way to gauge how many solar panels you need, is to understand and define the power load needed from this system. Power is measured in Watts, and capacity is commonly measured in Watt-hours (multiplying power output in watts by the required number of hours of operation multiplied by a safety factor of 1.5-2). Therefore, it is wise to size your battery bank first based on the minimum required capacity, and accordingly decide how many panels or how much power input is needed.

    Quality

    Posted by James on Mar 20th 2024

    I found this kit to be high quality at low cost. There was enough info provided along with answers on the "chat" system to be able to adapt the kit to my application, charging a portable power source.

    Very happy with the Renogy Solar Panel Kit

    Posted by dave123456 on May 21st 2023

    Very happy with the Renogy Solar Panel Kit. We installed 4 Renogy solar panels on the top of the bimini on our sailboat. Even when it is cloudy, the panels are doing a great job of keeping our batteries topped off. We spend a lot of time at anchor, and previously, we would have to pull out a portable generator to keep our batteries at their proper state of charge.

    Issues receiving product

    Posted by JimC on Feb 22nd 2023

    I received the package as expected but found some damage on three of the panels. Not functional damage but I paid for a new product so I went through the process of letting them know about it. That process is done through an apparent contractor called Route. I did have to send two or three sets of pics. I was sent a label for returning the equipment, which I did promptly. Very soon after that I received three replacement panels for the three that were damaged, but the rest of the equipment was all missing. I called Renogy directly this time and a real person answered the phone!! He was quite professional and helpful and set the process in motion to get me the rest of my gear. However, when I had not heard from them after several days, I called again to follow up. Again a real person answered the phone promptly and now the issue should be resolved. That was today so we will see . . . I have seen several times that Renogy gets poor marks for customer service. My experience was that there have been some hiccups but the customer service people I talked to on the phone were polite, responsive and professional.

    Solar kit Top notch

    Posted by Tangski on Feb 1st 2022

    Everything worked and top notch quality. I wished they sold complete kits ( fuses,circuit breakers,cable extension and optional dc/dc charger with battery for vans. (If your buying a more than 2 panels you will need cable extensions )

    Thanks to COVID-19 my shipme

    Posted by Joshua WatersJackson on May 3rd 2020

    Thanks to COVID-19 my shipment was a week delayed. But everything was there as advertised. After installation I thought my panels were junk for about 3 days since they never charged above about 8 amps. Then I added my inverter and started really loading my system... needless to say once there was a significant draw the charge controller ramped up and kicked in 20.8 amps. Exactly what I was expecting from SoCal sunshine. Super happy with the kit. I just wish the tilting brackets weren't so overpriced. The smartphone app leaves a lot to be desired as far as functionality and data tracking.
