Frequently Asked Questions

How many solar panels can I fit on my campervan or motorhome?

This depends on the size and layout of your roof, including roof vents, skylights, air conditioning units and other equipment. We can assess the available space and recommend a suitable solar panel arrangement.

Will solar panels keep my leisure battery charged?

Solar panels can help maintain and recharge your leisure batteries, but the amount of energy generated depends on panel capacity, daylight, weather conditions and your electrical usage. Solar alone may not meet all your requirements throughout the year.

Can you install solar panels with lithium batteries?

Yes. We install solar charging systems for compatible lithium leisure batteries, using suitable charge controllers and charging settings for the battery system.

Do you install Victron Energy solar controllers?

Yes. We supply and install Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers as part of our solar charging installations and electrical upgrades.

Can you add more solar panels to my existing system?

In many cases, yes. We can inspect your existing installation and assess whether additional panels or upgraded charging equipment would be appropriate.

Can you repair a solar charging system that isn't working?

Yes. We offer fault finding and repairs for compatible campervan and motorhome solar installations, including checks of panels, connections, wiring and charging equipment.

Do you install customer-supplied solar panels?

Our solar installation service is supply and fit only. This allows us to specify suitable panels, mounting equipment, controllers and other components for your vehicle.
