Portable Solar Battery Charging Systems for RV's Boats Marine

Portable Solar Battery Charging Systems

RV Solar Connection has developed three totally portable, self contained solar battery charging systems for small campers, trailers, RV's and boats. These portable systems can also be used to charge vehicle batteries, or for charging batteries to run 12 volt DC lights in remote sheds, construction trailers or barns. Ham radio operators can use them to keep their DC backup systems fully charged. Construction contractors find them useful for battery charging for trailer security systems. Their uses are virtually endless!

All of the components in our self contained portable systems are top of the line quality products that can't be purchased at the local hardware store!

We believe that our portable solar battery charging systems are the best constructed, most powerful systems available. We don't offer inexpensive "Made in China" or low power thin film solar charging kits.

Our Portable Solar Battery Charging Systems are in stock and available in 65 watts, 85 watts or 130 watts. Each fully assembled, ready to use kit comes with:

1 - Kyocera multi-crystalline d.blue high efficiency photovoltaic module with a
20 year warranty
1 - Built in photovoltaic charge controller by MorningStar with a 5 year warranty
1 - In-line fuse link to protect the battery
1- Spare fuse
15 foot of 10/2 UV resistant power cable that easily disconnects from the panel for storage
1 - Set heavy duty snap lock connectors
2 - Heavy duty, insulated, color coded Alligator clips for simple and quick battery connections
All connections are soldered and heat shrinked to seal out adverse weather
Optional extra 15 foot 10/2 UV resistant power cable. Simply plug the power cables together for a total of 30 feet.
Custom configurations are available upon request

The 65 Watt Portable Solar Battery Charger is currently our smallest portable photovoltaic charging system. Its small size makes it ideally suited for small pop-up trailer or truck type campers, or any other 12 volt DC application with lower electrical demands. This module is also great for gently trickle charging any 12 volt deep cycle battery while your camper or RV is in winter storage.

85 Watt Portable Solar Battery Charger

* Based on 7 hours of strong summer sun
Maximum Voltage: 17.4
Length: 39.6"
Width: 25.7"
Depth: 2.2"
Weight (Approx): 25 lbs.

The 85 Watt Portable Solar Battery Charger is our middle of the line photovoltaic module. With its 5.02 amp output it has plenty of power to recharge deep cycle batteries that supply moderate electrical demands. It is an excellent choice for trailers and campers as well as medium sized RV's, or charging back up DC power supplies for ham operators or security systmes.

130 Watt Portable Solar Battery Charger
$912.00 plus tax - $7.02 Per Watt

Maximum Power: 130 Watts
Maximum Amps: 7.39
Maximum Amps per Day: 51.7*
* Based on 7 hours of strong summer sun
Maximum Voltage: 17.4
Length: 56"
Width: 25.7"
Depth: 2.2"
Weight (Approx): 34 lbs.

The 130 Watt Portable Solar Battery Charger is our highest output module and your best value per watt. At 7.39 amps it has the power to top off your deep cycle batteries daily. This module is perfect for those with higher electrical demands. The 130 watt module is a terrific choice for any size camper, trailer, or RV.

85 Watt Portable Marine Solar Battery Charger
Starting at $664.00 plus tax

Marine Photovoltaic Solar Module Our new portable marine solar battery chargers are an ideal companion for any size fishing boat. The 85 watt Kyocera photovoltaic module will help extend run time of your 12 volt DC electronics as well as the electric positioning motor. When your not fishing the panel will gradually bring your batteries back up to full charge then shut itself off.

Considering the price of a quality 110 volt AC onboard battery charging system that doesn't charge your batteries while your on the water... solar is really a better investment. Plus it can double as a battery charging system for your fishing or hunting camper.

Base price on the Marine Solar Battery Charger is $664.00 which is the same setup as the 85 watt portable solar battery charger listed above. With this option you'd just lay and secure the module somewhere in the boat. For an additional $120.00 we can build a 3/4"seat post mounted panel that manually tilts and rotates 360 degrees to track the sun. (Shown above right)

During rough water we recommend stowing and securing the portable panel.

If you run single or dual stern drive mounted electric trolling motors and your boat has a hard top, we can permanently mount photovoltaic solar modules on the roof to help compensate for electrical draw. When your boat isn't fishing the panels will silently bring the boat's deep cycle batteries back to full charge and keep them there!

Why a Portable Solar Battery Charging System?

For some applications portable solar systems are a better alternative to a hard wired solar battery charging system.

For example:
Some manufacturers of new campers prohibit owners from drilling holes in the roof, or the mounting of non factory items to the roof. Doing so will void the roofs warranty. In this example a portable solar panel gives you the ability to re-charge your batteries without a hard wired system mounted on the roof.

Some people prefer to park their camper in the shade.
Shade and solar panels don't get along. With a portable solar system the camper can be situated in the shade while the solar panel is basking in the sun.

Multiple Charging Needs
If you have more than one camper our portable charging systems can be moved from camper to camper, or camper to boat, then back again. The charging possibilities are endless.

Track the Sun!
A major advantage that our portable systems have over a hard wired system is that you can track the sun optimizing the modules output. As the sun moves from east to west the panel can be repositioned to follow the sun yielding optimum module performance.

Our Portable Photovoltaic Modules are easy to use.
Our portable solar panels are virtually bullet proof, and very easy to use. Simply connect the red clip to the positive (+) battery terminal and connect the black clip to the (-) negative battery terminal, then point the solar panel towards the sun. That's it!

Battery charging is fully automatic, so you don't have to worry about over or under charging your deep cycle batteries. Once the battery reaches full charge the charge controller mounted on the back of the module will turn the solar panel off. Once the controller senses that the battery needs charged, it will turn itself on again.
