solar panel system for RV

A system with 2 - 100 watt panels and a MPPT charge controller with meter will cost around $1000 plus shipping costs and wire. You may also need batteries if the existing load batteries are not large enough but a couple of glof cart batteries or L-16's will be enought and they will cost between $100 - $350. If you want an inverter large enough to run a microwave or air conditioner will cost about $1400.

These system can pay for themsleves in one summer if they allow you to stay out of the RV parks. 2 - 100 watt panels may not keep you going for days and days expecially if you run large loads like air conditioners a lot but 200 watts during the summer will do a pretty good job. In most cases with RV's there is no more room on the roof even if you have a bigger budget.
