Solar – simplified! A guide to the basics

Описание: Are you confused about solar power for your Airstream or other RV? A lot of people make RV solar a complicated topic but understanding solar is actually very EASY. You don't need to know about amps and volts, watts, or complicated math to benefit from using solar power in your RV. In a nutshell: the sun shines, solar panels collect the rays and convert it into electricity, the electricity charges your batteries, and the batteries power your electrical system so you can camp longer.

This video de-mystifies the confusion about what "runs" on solar, how much power you really need, how to add more solar, and what the inverter is for. Plus a lot more.

We collaborated with Brad Driver of ‪@ThirteenAdventures‬ to create this video. It's based on the AIR GEAR blog: Solar – simplified! A guide to the basics
