So, to connect your portable solar panel to your RV, you’ll need to connect the solar panel to the solar charge controller and connect the solar charge controller to the battery. Now your portable solar panel will be charging your battery/batteries. What Are the Best Portable Solar Panels for RVs?
Portable solar panels are carried inside your RV while you’re traveling and can be set outside in the sun when you’re camping. A portable RV solar panel is very similar to a solar panel you see installed on the roof of an RV except that it’s able to be moved from place to place, and is stored in your RV for travel and when not in use.
Ideal for motorhomes, caravans and camping, Falcon's complete 100W 12 Volt portable solar panel kit comes with a built-in charge regulator/solar controller with a clear digital display, a 5m cable with battery clips and a sturdy protective case. It's easily portable and ready to set up and use, to charge 12 volt batteries of all types.
A common use of portable solar panels is to connect them directly to a compact solar generator (a portable device containing a battery for storing power and often a small inverter for powering a 120V AC outlet), forgoing the need to deal with batteries and a charge controller.
When the sun moves, the panels can be easily moved to follow it to continue to best capture the power of the sun. In fact, your RV can be parked in the shade on a hot day, and your portable RV solar panels can be placed in the sun.
I love the idea of portable solar panels. You can put one of them on one side of the RV, while the other can go on the other side. You can place one in front of the motorhome, and the other behind it. They can get stolen, so you want to make sure you're checking them.
