Q: How much power is enough? How many panels of what approximate dimension would I have to mount on my RV rooftop to let me boondock i.e., enjoy a modest use of electricity indefinitely without draining my batteries? A: The amount of energy required by your RV depends on how much electricity you used the night before. A 24 foot RV used in the summer can usually get by with 5 amps of input with 200 amps of battery storage. #outdoorliving #renewableenergy #camping #RV #summercamping #campsites #solarpower

Q: What should I look for when buying solar panels? A: We are pleased to say that no matter what brand of solar panel you buy, you can be assured of quality. The major brands such as Kyocera, Siemens, BP, Unisolar and Solarex all offer warranties exceeding twenty years. You can expect a life time of service from a solar panel. Accelerated testing indicates panels will last fifty to sixty years. There are two types of panels available, crystalline and amorphous. The crystall...ine modules are encapsulated in glass and offer efficiencies in the 14% range meaning you get more power in a smaller surface area. This type of panel has been around for over fifty years. It does not like direct shading and will suffer some deterioration in performance in high temperature applications. The amorphous modules are encapsulated in a polymer non-glass material and offer efficiencies in the 8% range. This panel is not affected by heat and works well under low light and shaded conditions. It is virtually indestructible. We have a panel with five bullet holes in it and it still functions well. If space is a problem and you camp in non-shaded areas, the crystalline module is a good choice. Module pricing on both types of panel is similar. #outdoorliving #renewableenergy #outdoorlivingspace #logcabins #rv #poweredbythesun #offgrid #sustainable #nature #renewable #goinggreen #greenenergy #sun See more

Renewable energy is making a difference. You can be part of that difference too. Analysts: ‘One-off’ factors fuel largest global power emission drop in decades. Solar, wind output rise of 15% helped slash power-related CO2 worldwide last year but green energy growth will be ‘very challenging’ to sustain unless efforts step up, says think tank Ember. https://www.pv-tech.org//analysts-one-off-factors-fuel-lar ... #renewable #energy #greenenery #co2 #loweremissions

Q: How much would it cost to equip my RV with solar panels? A: Depending on the size of your RV, systems start at $330 ranging up to more than $1000.00 CDN. A basic system for a 23 foot motor home will run approximately $800.00. Solar panels are provincial sales tax exempt. #outdoorliving #RV #poweredbythesun #camping #outdoors #offgrid #renewableenergy #outdoorlivingspaces #renewableenergynow #renewableenergyisthefuture #campsites #Nova
