RV salespeople luuuuuuv solar-ready or solar-prep packages. They’re easy talking points – and oh look, it comes with a sticker! Pretty . . .

Unfortunately, they may not mean much else. Solar-ready RV (SRRV) packages come in all shapes and sizes! As a rough rule:

• If your RV has a sidewall port, it’s probably designed for a portable solar suitcase with an integrated charge controller
• If your RV has a roof port, it’s probably designed for permanent solar panel installation

What’s (Actually) Included in a Solar-Prep Package?

Wondering what a Solar-Ready RV (SRRV) package really means?
