We know a lot of you are thinking about solar for your rig, but it can feel overwhelming. Panels are the obvious starting point, but they are only half the story. You will also need a controller, battery, inverter, and all the cables to make it work.
The first step is figuring out what size system you actually need.
Start by calculating how much power you use. List out every appliance you plan to run and how many hours per day you use each one. Multiply the wattage of each device by the hours you use it, then add everything together. That gives you your daily watt‑hour (Wh) consumption.
If you are unsure about your energy needs, you can use our RV solar calculator to estimate your daily consumption and find the right solar kit for your setup.
Once you know your daily Wh, you can size your battery bank. A lithium battery (LiFePO4) is the best choice for RV use because it lasts longer, charges faster, and gives you more usable capacity than lead‑acid.
Next, work out how many panels you need.
Your daily usage and local peak sun hours determine the panel count. Most areas get 3 to 6 peak sun hours daily. Divide your daily Wh by your peak sun hours to estimate the wattage of panels required.
Once you have figured out the system size you need, the next step is choosing your setup and getting it installed.
If you are electrically savvy and handy, you can go fully DIY and choose your own battery, panels, and other parts. But it will take longer, and you will need strong theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills, since you will be designing the wiring layout and doing the installation.
If you are new to electrical systems but still want to get your system installed quickly, enjoy the hands-on experience, and hit the road as soon as possible, we recommend going with a complete solar kit. It can save you from compatibility headaches and missing parts.
We now offers an All-in-one RV Solution that includes pre-tested components, lithium battery storage, and ShadowFlux panels. It comes in 3.8kWh or 7.6kWh configurations with 2000W or 3000W inverters, and everything from cables to accessories is included. You just follow the wiring diagram and installation video to put it together.
A well‑planned solar setup gives you more freedom to camp off grid, reduces your reliance on hookups, and saves money on energy costs over time. Start with your power needs, size your battery accordingly, and choose a system that allows room to expand later.

Bifacial panels get a lot of attention for their two sided design. But the real world gain depends on factors that apply to any panel. Orientation, tilt, latitude, and time of day all affect how much power you actually get.
We put together a few quick visuals on the basics. Check the images below.
👇What do you tweak first when setting up your panels?
Two complete systems. Same idea, different capacity.
Go Far (3.8kWh) is built for weekend trips and shorter getaways. Go Further (7.6kWh) is for longer stays and bigger energy needs. Both come with everything you need, pre matched components, numbered parts, labeled cables, and a wiring map.
What does your typical trip look like? A couple of days with a fridge and some lights? Or weeks off grid with AC and induction cooking?
16 years, countless trips, and a community that keeps growing.
We want to see your setup. Drop your photo on the Trust Map for a chance to win a 200W Bifacial Solar Panel or a Go Far Solution worth over $2,000.
Bifacial panels work better when lifted off the roof. More reflected light means more energy.
We put together a quick guide using Renogy tilt mount brackets. Check the images below.

A lot of DIY solar setups run into small headaches.
A missing fuse. The wrong cable size. A charge controller that does not work well with the battery.
If an RV power kit came with matched parts, cables, fuses, breakers, bolts, numbered components, a simple map, and a video walkthrough, would you actually want that?
Or would you rather pick every part yourself?
We just launched Renogy N Type Bifacial Solar Panels. They capture light from both sides, so you get more energy from the same roof space.
With N type cells, these bifacial panels deliver better efficiency and durability, while the rugged build handles heavy snow and strong winds. The extra harvest keeps your battery going after sunset, powering lights and devices longer.
A bifacial solar panel basically has cells on both the front and the back. The front side works like a normal panel, catching direct sunlight. The back side picks up light that bounces off the ground, snow, sand, or even a light colored roof.
Because of that, bifacial panels can produce up to 30% more energy than regular ones. They also handle low light situations better, and you can mount them vertically, sideways, or tilted. They shine the most when there is a reflective surface underneath.
The back side usually puts out about 65% to 90% of what the front does. That extra power is nothing to ignore, especially if you are off grid or trying to get the most out of a rooftop setup.
We see many RV owners mount their solar panels flat on the roof. That works fine for regular panels, but a bifacial panel needs light on the back side to really shine. If you were to go with bifacial, would you consider using a mounting rack to lift them off the roof?
Renogy 12V 30A/50A Dual Input DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT is a dual-input on-board battery charger with smart charging logic.
It can be connected to the solar panel and the automobile starter battery simultaneously, or to the solar panel or the automobile starter battery separately, to charge the auxiliary battery.

Alternator / Charging Indicator
Indicator status - Alternator / Charging Indicator
If the light is off, follow the steps below.
For a traditional alternator, check the alternator input voltage with a multimeter and make sure it is at least 13.2V.
For a smart alternator, check the alternator input voltage with a multimeter and make sure it is at least 12V. Also ensure that the IGN signal wire, cables, and fuses are intact and properly connected.
Solar Charging Indicator
Indicator status - Solar Charging Indicator
If the light is off, ensure that the solar panel is not being shaded (by a tree etc.). Ensure the voltage of the solar panel is higher than 15V with a multi-meter and check the electric connections.
Auxiliary Battery Indicator
If the indicator light is red or flashing red, follow the steps below:
