Solar powered ac unit for rv.

Final thoughts about powering an rv air conditioner with solar panels powering an rv air condition unit of between 10000 and 35000 btus is absolutely possible. You can just drop it over the roof vent hook up the power and enjoy the cool air in your rv. And the air conditioner is on a 20 amp breaker not a 15 amp. Thus as a practical matter the vast majority of rv owners will never be able to set up their rv in a way that solar could power an ac unit.

Prior to moving forward it is a good idea if you understand know how solar power works for your rv. Super solar array immense inverter battery size and more are some factors to consider before taking any action. We are talking rv solar here the power source is a 12v battery bank. So the air conditioner pulls 150 amps from the 12v batteries the inverter transforms that current into 15 amps 120v and then sends it on to power the air conditioner.

While it is technically possible to power an rv air conditioner with solar panels to generate enough power a large amount of solar panels and upgrades to the electrical system would be required. For example many rv air conditioning units require somewhere between 1 700 and 3 500 starting watts and 600 to 1 500 running watts. These two factors along with the size of the panels you install will dictate how many panels you need to effectively use solar power for rv air conditioner power supply.
