Solar panels on your motorhome
Discover the benefits of installing solar panels on your motorhome. During long trips, it is not only convenient, but also a considered decision to go partly off-grid and rely on renewable energy sources. Solar energy provides excellent support for this. By installing solar panels on your motorhome, you reduce your dependence on campsites and charging points, allowing you to experience complete freedom during extended road trips.
We recommend putting together an integrated solar panel system, consisting of high-quality solar panels, a smart charge controller and a suitable battery. More and more motorhome owners are also using portable power stations in combination with solar panels, both as a back-up system and a mobile charging solution. With the battery or power station, you are able to use the generated energy at any time for all your equipment in the motorhome. Experience the freedom of sustainable travel with our customised solar solutions for your motorhome.
How to choose the ideal solar panel?
The biggest advantage of an off-grid system for your camper is, you no longer have to depend on camper spots with a permanent power connection. In addition, it is an eco-friendly choice. Solar energy is a sustainable way of generating energy. No CO2 emissions are needed for your energy.
Having solar panels on your motorhome and having a power station will allow you to stay more often and longer in the wild or off-grid, while saving costs. Many campsites earn quite a bit of money from motorhome owners who need electricity. With solar panels, you are no longer dependent on them.

How do I calculate my energy needs?
- Prepare list: List all electrical devices, including navigation equipment, lighting, refrigeration, and other appliances.
- Determine energy consumption: Research the energy consumption of each device in watts per hour (W/h). You can often find this information in the manual or on the device itself.
- Estimate daily use: Estimate how many hours per day each device is in use.
- Calculate daily energy requirement: Multiply the power (in watts) of each device by the daily usage (in hours) and add it all up for the total daily energy requirement in watt-hours (Wh).
- Consider autonomy: Consider how many days you want to be off-grid without recharging and multiply the daily energy requirement by the desired number of days.
Follow these steps to determine the optimal energy requirement for your camper and choose the right solar panels and battery storage.
Discover off-grid freedom
Are you considering going partially off-grid during your motorhome adventures? Discover various power solutions to suit your needs and requirements for an autonomous energy supply on the road. Take, for example, the Independence Kit with 5 kWh battery, a complete off-grid power solution from EcoFlow. This modular system offers customisable energy storage and backup, expandable from 5 to 15 kWh batteries. Ideal for motorhomes thanks to its 3600 W AC output and two MPPT solar charge controllers.
Another example is the Anker F3800, which is easy to move around thanks to its thoughtful design with wheels. With up to 6 additional batteries, you reach a total capacity of 26,800 Wh, enough for 1 to 2 weeks of full off-grid use. What further distinguishes the F3800 is its powerful maximum output current of 16A, which allows you to effortlessly run multiple electrical appliances at the same time, such as air conditioners, heaters and dishwashers. This feature not only provides extra comfort in the motorhome, but also allows complete independence from external power sources. In short, the F3800 also acts as a flexible mobile charging station. Combined with solar panels, it allows you to operate off-grid during your road trips.
Besides these powerful off-grid solutions, there are other innovative systems you can consider for a self-sufficient energy supply in your motorhome. Check out all power stations here.

Optimal Charging on the Go
During long journeys or stays in remote locations, having access to sufficient power for your devices and accessories is essential. Fortunately, there are innovative solutions that make charging on the road easier and more efficient. Whether it’s charging your smartphone, powering a cooler, or using lighting, these are all key elements for a comfortable experience.
With the right technology, you can use your vehicle’s alternator to quickly and effectively charge your power station. This reduces your reliance on traditional power sources, allowing you to enjoy your adventure with peace of mind, knowing that you always have enough energy available.
Versatile Use
Modern alternator chargers are designed for versatility. They not only charge your power station but also help maintain your vehicle’s battery. Various charging applications, such as reverse charging, enable you to charge your vehicle’s battery or even the house battery in your RV. This prepares you not only for long trips but also for unexpected situations that may arise on the road. These chargers are practical for both battery maintenance and as a jump-start solution in emergencies.
Convenience and Savings
These chargers provide convenience, saving time, money, and space in your vehicle. An alternator charger extends the life of your RV batteries and enhances energy management. The connection is simple: you can easily attach these devices to either the starter battery or the RV battery without worrying about complex installations.
With the EcoFlow 800W Alternator Charger and the Bluetti Alternator Charger 1 DC-DC Charger, you can enjoy reliable power on the go. Whether for short trips or longer journeys, these devices ensure that you are always well-prepared.
