A prewired cable entry plate on an RV is a simple way to have your RV solar-ready without the need to run additional wires into the RV. The main 10AWG cable run uses a quick-connect MC4 connector base for both the + (Red) and – (Black) cables.
Solar extension cables are designed to extend the solar circuit some length. These cables allow for additional panels to be installed some distance from the first panel.
Branch connectors are quick connect connectors that allow connecting 2 connectors to a single connection point on an RV solar panel.
Tools are required to install an RV solar system. There are several common tools and a couple that will make the job much easier.
Tilting a solar panel to better angle towards the sun can produce more power. There are brackets that can help achieve this on an RV.
Tie wraps or cable ties are a must to keep wires tight and in place. They are easy to use and come in different lengths and strengths.
Lap sealant is often used when installing solar on an RV roof. Sealant is designed to there to help prevent water from entering your RV.
Solar panels take light energy from the sun and turn it into useful DC electricity. This electricity is useful for charging batteries or for immediate consumption using a power inverter.
Circuit breakers are designed to protect AC wiring in your RV. The breakers are allowed to trip and be reset. They can allow for easily shutting of a circuit.
