Solar power gives your RV the ability to run any of your electrical appliances without needing to worry about power sources. Solar panels convert the sun’s energy into direct current electricity (DC), charging your RV’s batteries and storing electricity. A power inverter converts the DC power to alternative current (AC) which runs many of your appliances on the RV.
What is the difference between DC and AC power?
Solar power gives your RV the ability to run any of your electrical appliances without worrying about power sources. Solar panels convert the sun’s rays into direct current electricity (DC), charging your RV’s batteries and storing electricity. A power inverter converts the DC power to alternative current (AC) that many of your appliances use on the RV.
Can the solar panel drain my battery at night?
If you have a solar charge controller installed in your system, there is no danger of a reverse current draining your battery.
Do you sell outside the contiguous US?

How long can l run my appliances or electronics on solar?
Depending on the number of appliances, how much power they use, whether you are grid-tied or off-grid, and the size of the battery bank you have installed (including if you have a battery bank), the exact length of time can change drastically. Call our customer service representatives at1-800-831-9889, or contact us through email atsupport@richsolar.comso we can help determine your requirements.
What is the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline?
Monocrystalline solar panels use a single silicon crystal during production whereas polycrystalline uses multiple fragmented silicon crystals. Monocrystalline panels are more expensive but are more efficient. They also appear black and use less space. Polycrystalline panels are less expensive but are less efficient.
