Design a solar charging system utilizing a factory pre wire.
Airstream factory solar panels.
This airstream came with a zamp portable solar panel plug which they wanted to be integrated into the solar system we installed.
Cut the cord to expensive daily shore power hook ups with the 12 volt solar charging system.
Expandable to 30 amps or 510 watts of solar 30a only suitable for flooded gel agm or calcium batteries.
We now have 500 watts of solar on top of our airstream five 100 watt solar panels.
Ensuring the panels are clean not partially shaded by trees or other interference will promote solar charging.
If this isn t enough skip down to section 3b.
Digital display amps volts 30a only 5 stage charging algorithms.
What s more with all 2019 airstream travel trailers leaving the jackson center ohio manufacturing facility with dedicated solar ready hookups zamp solar s wide array of rooftop and portable solar solutions make it easy for all airstreamers to harness the power of the sun.
Flush mount or surface mount digital charge controller.
The final piece of the puzzle was the solar panels.
The sunexplorer charge control performs these basic functions.
Airstream utilizes zamp solar panels and a victron charge control and display.
We set up this system with expansion in mind so if they find that 400w isn t enough to offset their light dc loads they have the option of using a portable panel and or they could choose to install up to another 200w on their roof.
In that post i covered upgrading the batteries to lithium installing a battery monitor inverter charge controller and surge protector.
We had already very carefully measured and in our situation found only one suitable installation location for our panel.
Today zamp solar panels are used in all pre installed airstream solar packages.
In the box was a gopower.
Airstream electrical upgrade part i.
100 watt solar flex panel 30 amp digital solar controller for 80 480 watts of power 50 of 10 mc4 output cable and mounting hardware for all of the above.
25 year warranty solar panels only.
Understand the different functions of your airstream s solar power display.
The first part of our airstream electrical is detailed in the following post.
