A mid-size Skoolie is typically 25 to 35 feet long. Mid-size Skoolies are easier to maneuver and require less space to park than their full-size siblings. They typically have enough living space and storage for 2 people (and their furry friends).
Experience the freedom of energy independence with off-grid solar solutions designed just for Skoolies. Here we’ll guide you through every step of the design process from estimating power consumption to finding the right solar panels, batteries and other components. We take the guess work out the process by building a solar+storage solution for you! You’ll also get a close-up look at why Renogy is the industry leader in mobile energy systems powered by the Sun!

Designing the right solution starts with understanding how much power you’ll need off-grid. Renogy’s Consumption Estimator shows typical power consumption for some common electric appliances you might find in a mid-size Skoolie. The estimator shows 3-4 kWh of daily power consumption for 2 people on a Skoolie adventure.

We’ve made it easy by doing the design work for you! Renogy puts the power of energy independence in your hands with a solar + storage solution built to power a mid-size Skoolie. Just check out our animated design tutorial to see how it works. Then learn more about how Renogy’s high efficiency solar panels and high-capacity batteries can power your off-grid adventures for years to come!
4.8 kWh
Storage Capacity
Renogy’s 100AH lithium iron phosphate battery with Bluetooth can store plenty of energy for our Skoolie. It’s only half the weight of its lead-acid counterparts and can be safely discharged to 80% DOD (Depth of Discharge) providing more available power when you need it most. And Bluetooth connectivity lets you monitor battery status on your mobile device!
5 Year
Battery Life
Our state-of-the-art batteries have a cycle life of more than 2000 cycles, with a lifespan four times longer than lead-acid batteries. For most users that adds up to more than five years of battery life!
600 W
Solar Panel Array
This Skoolie is powered by 3 Renogy 200-watt panels for a total system capacity of 600 watts. With EL-tested solar modules, no hot-spot heating is guaranteed.
2 WAYS
