Why solar is perfect for RVs, caravans and boats

Solar is perfect for RVs, caravans and boats because it is clean, quiet, and free of the vibration and pollution of petrochemical-fired generators/engines. Most importantly, solar systems provide highly mobile and reliable electricity.

Clean and quiet

Uses free, abundant renewable energy from the sun.
Solar panels consume no fuel and give off no waste.
There are no moving parts, which means no mechanical noise.

Easy to use

See your system performing through either your Bluetooth app or dedicated monitor.
Set and forget with automated safety and battery protection features.
Place the solar panel in the sun and generate electricity.

Makes freedom camping easy

With an appropriately sized system and correctly specified and installed components, you don’t need to run a generator or access “shore power.” Go to the lakes, the mountains, the beaches, go anywhere the sun shines and enjoy your well-earned freedom!

Our showroom provides restrooms, kitchenette facilities and comfortable seating if you need to remain on-site while work is being carried out.

Why use solar power?

The most significant advantage is the independence you will acquire from not relying on mains power when travelling. It will give you the freedom to go wherever you want for however long.
It will add resale value to your RV.
Solar Power is quiet, unlike generators.
You will save money by avoiding tourist/caravan park fees for powered sites. With solar power, you can have a less expensive unpowered site or stay at a more remote location.
If you enjoy quiet locations without a crowd, solar power will let you enjoy the great outdoors while still enjoying all your RV luxuries.
You can contribute to reducing the impacts of fossil fuel and natural gas power stations, such as greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
The components are long-lasting, durable and low maintenance. For example, solar panels typically produce energy for at least 25 years with no maintenance other than the occasional clean-off with water.
We are lucky in New Zealand that we have a high degree of sunshine, which makes solar power a worthwhile option
