HOW WE USE SOLAR for RV POWER OFF THE GRID - Full DIY System Tour

Here’s how we use SOLAR on our RV to generate power when off-the-grid. This tour of our entire off-grid solar system installation shows how we generate up to 750 watts of power with flexible solar panels to charge our AGM batteries and use an inverter to provide AC power to the entire RV.

I’ve increased our battery capacity up to 450 amp hours and our solar array capacity to 750 watts total. This is all due to the fact that we now prefer dry-camping (or boondocking) over full-hookup campgrounds. Several videos have been posted here on the RVWITHTITO YouTube channel that go over specific parts of our off-grid system, but there was no video that ties it all together...until this one. There are sacrifices we have to make while dry camping, but in general, our large battery bank and pure-sine inverter provide adequate electrical power for our needs. We still rely on propane for heat, cooking, and to power our RV refrigerator during the evening. We do not have large load electrical appliances like a residential refrigerator that require electrical power 24/7. A residential refrigerator consumes an average of 150 Ah per day in addition to your other power requirements. To power a residential refrigerator would require twice the battery capacity I currently have and more solar (which I don’t have room for). Lithium batteries would be a must. With enough solar, I can usually power our propane/electric refrigerator in electric mode during the day and switch to propane in late afternoon. We certainly don’t use our air conditioner, but we do use fans to keep cool. Our primary method for recharging our batteries is from solar. When that’s not available, I can charge my batteries from my alternator. The internal resistance of my lead-acid batteries prevents too much current from flowing to the house batteries and loading up my alternator. I do plan on upgrading to LiFePO4 lithium batteries, at which time I’ll install a DC-to-DC converter that will limit the amount of current flowing from the alternator.
